GRF Parameters

Function	Details
Longer Airships	Use longer Airship sprites. More accurately shaped, but can cause some graphical clipping errors.
Hand-Drawn Lockheed L-100 Hercules	Use the old Lockheed L-100 Hercules sprites instead of the new ones.
Seaplane Preview	Activating this parameter will allow seaplanes and float-refitted planes to operate from normal airports.
Airport Modifications	If this parameter is activated, the infrastructure maintenance costs of small airports will be reduced to a level more suitable for the smaller aircraft in the set, and the Commuter Airport and Helidepot will be introduced earlier.
