SLC S27 Week4 - Let's Play OpenTTD:Air Transport
Hello everyone!
Today I am here to participate in the challenge of playing OpenTTD game organized by @sergeyk. If you want to join then:
✨ Task 1
I have loaded my previous game as I ended in the last week. I want to continue the same company further because I have already developed many things in the biome.
I have chosen these two cities to install airport 1 and airport 2. The reason to choose these two cities is that these are close to each other and it will take less time to transport things between these two airports. Both the cities have reasonable population as well.
 | Build Airports |
|---|---|
 | Large Airports |
I have chosen large airports as by default but I explored and checked other options as such as small airports but it was not giving any option to accept or supply anything. It was requiring just 1 tile to be built.
 | Sinningpool Airport |
|---|---|
 | Pronninghall Airport |
It was easy to build an airport but it required complete flat area. So after moving teh cursor here and there I got right place to built airports in both the cities. Now I can connect these two cities with each other with the help of the planes and start transporting passengers, mails, gods, between them.
Both the airports accept same things. S I can transfer any of them between them.
In order to connect these two cities with air transport I have the need of the aircraft which will serve as the air transport.
I have opened the depot in the airport. I have select new aircraft. It showed me different planes. I have selected a large plane with more capacity of the passengers and mail bags at a time. It can carry 200 passengers and 30 bags of mails.
I have set the route of the plane between these two cities. I have started the working of the plane to fly between these two cities. Currently my plane is carrying passengers and bags of mail between these two cities. It is generating earning money.
Here in the gif you can see the working of the plane between these two cities where it is picking up passengers and bags of mail and transferring to the next city and so on.
✨ Task 2
I have opened the town directory and chose the biggest city in the game which is Kinham. At the moment it has highest population such as 2455. I will build airport 3 in this city.
On the map you can see the biggest city. The interesting thing is that there is another nearby city which is on very little distance. I will try to build airport 3 in between both the cities and I will connect both cities to the airport. Then I will install roads to transfer passengers and mail bags to airport for the further delivery.
I try making an airport between these two cities but it was representing Fort Trotburg city instead of Kinham where I actually wanted to place the airport. So I built it near Kinham city. The airport is able to accept passenger, mail, food, goods, and gold.
I have built bus and truck stations on the corners of the city to bring passengers and mails, goods, and gold to the nearby stations to airport. My stations near the airport are connected to each other.
Here you can see I have set both the vehicles passenger vehicle and mail vehicle to pick from the far off stations and transfer to airport.
Here you can see my vehicles are working very well and they are transferring passengers and mails from the far stations to the airport. You can see at the moment 166 passengers and 23 mail bags are waiting for the transportation.
Similarly to expand the transport company in this town and fill the airport with passengers I can connect far off food processing plant and printing works. But for now I am leaving that and in future if I need I will do it.
✨ Task 3
Currently I am running a single plane between the three airports which is capable to transport passengers and bags of mail.
Now I will buy another plane and I will use it to only transfer bags of mails to increase the speed of the transfer of mails. In the pronninghall city airport I am getting most mails so I will buy a plane from that depot.
I have bought this aircraft and currently it is able to transport passengers and some mails. But I will refit it to only transfer mails. It is able to transfer 210 passengers and 15 bags of mail.
 | Click the cube like icon to open refit window |
|---|---|
 | Refit |
I have opened refit window and converted it to only carry out mails. Now it is able to carry out 235 mail bags.
This is refit plane and I have set its route between the three airports so that it can cover three airports and transfer mails between them.
✨ Task 4
This is my airport which I have already built near the Kinham city, the largest city on the map. I will buy land around this airport and then I will use it to build a bigger airport by demolishing this current airport. Currently it is a large airport of 6 x 6 but now in the game I am going to create an international airport of 7 x 7.
I have selected tiles land to buy around the airport and it is costing me $147,150.
Finally I have bought land around the airport and now I will use it to upgrade airport. I will demolish the current airport then I will build a new bigger airport.
 | Demolished small airport |
|---|---|
 | Local authority not allowing building large airport |
 | Rating is very low |
I have demolished the smaller airport and then I am trying to build a bigger airport there but the local town authority is not allowing me to build an airport there because the ratings of my company is very low and I cannot build until my rating is reasonable like mediocre or good.
Now in order to improve my rating of the company I will build trees in the city then it will allow me to build the new airport.
After placing a large number of trees in the town my rating has been improved but it is still very poor so I will planting trees until it further improves to build bigger airport there and then my planes will land there.
I checked my ratings and I saw my rating has improved a bit and it is now poor. But at this rating I could easily build a larger airport.
I have planted many trees of random type in the city and you can see the city is now full of trees.
After the improvement of the rating I have built a bigger airport of international level on the place from where I demolished the previous large airport of 6 x 6 and now current airport is of 7 x 7. It has greater range.
✨ Task 5
I will build helistations in these two selected cities near water.
 | Lindhall Helistation |
|---|---|
 | Larninghead Helistation |
 | Buying Helicopter |
 | Setting route between the cities |
 | Helicopter is working and flying between these cities |
I have installed two helistations and bought an available helicopter to transport passengers, and mails between the these two cities and I set the routes between the cities. It started working efficiently. I did not make any clone of the heli copters because it was enough according to the demand in those cities.
This is all about the growth and working of my company. It is doing a great job while delivering cargo and maintaining the good profit levels as well as increasing the value of the company each second. I have never become a bankrupt while playing the game.
I would like to invite @josepha, @chant, @ahsansharif, and @fombae to participate in this contest.
Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
Thanks for inviting me. I will see how far I can start mine tomorrow when I get home.
You are warmly welcome.
Great graphs, and everything is truly understood in comparison. I think next week the competition will be a real competition, since all participants will be on the server.
Thank you for joining the competition this week, although I was hoping to see you on the server.
Thank you it was really an amazing experience playing the playing. Yes I was sure you will expect me to play on the server but due to some busy schedule I could not do it. For the next week I will try my best to register myself on the server.
I need to know can I connect y previous saved game on discord server or is it not allowed and i will have to start the game from beginning?
