Since TTDPatch has limited vehicle IDs, you have to choose between various optional aircraft.  To load optional aircraft, add the numbers in the table below together, and put the values in parameters 1 and 2.
 
 
These parameters are not used in OpenTTD; since OTTD allows more vehicle IDs, all aircraft will be available regardless.

  • Added increased cargo decay times for luxury, small, and early aircraft (OpenTTD nightly builds only).

Feature Changes:

  • Special refits (Combi, Airliner, Oversize, Sling, No tip tanks, and Float) can now be any of the four colour refits too.
  • Added a newgrf warning message if planespeed is not 1/1.

[edit] 1.81 - 14th of January 2011

Additions:

Statistic changes:

  • Generational stats for the Douglas DC-8 (Super 60 from 1967).
  • Generational stats for the Douglas DC-9 (MD-80 from 1980).

Feature changes:

Bug fixes:

[edit] 1.8 - 11th of January 2011

Additions:

Graphics:

Bug Fixes:

  • ATR and Dash 8 no longer expire.
  • Running costs of extra aircraft (TTDP optional aircraft) now show correctly in purchase menu in OpenTTD with planespeed other than 1/1.
  • Running costs of the Lockheed L-100 Hercules now show correctly in purchase menu with planespeed other than 1/1.

Feature changes:

  • Refits now have 0 cost, to match my other grfs' behaviour.
  • Added OpenTTD action 14 newgrf information and parameters.

Statistic changes:

  • Reduced (or in one instance increased) capacity for several 1960s era aircraft, to reflect typical rather than maximum loads:
  • Boeing 707 circuit and takeoff speeds slightly reduced (250kt below 10000ft rule).
  • Boeing 727 running costs reduced.
  • Douglas DC-9 running costs slightly increased.

[edit] 1.7 - 22nd of April 2010

  • Added Airbus A330 as optional replacement for the Boeing 777.
  • Allowed the BAC 1-11, F100, ATR-72 and Airbus A340 to use extended IDs in OpenTTD. The Av8 extra aircraft GRF is no longer required.

Graphics:

Statistic changes:

  • Generational stats for the Douglas DC-3 (BT-67 from 1990).
  • Douglas DC-3 now never expires.
  • Boeing 737 later generations now carry 80 and 90 crates of goods.
  • Airship now has 20 years longer model life (1959).
  • Sud SE-210 Caravelle now has 10 years longer model life (1989).
  • Vickers Viscount now has 10 years longer model life (2003).
  • Added Combi refits (fewer passengers and more mail) to the Lockheed L-188, Boeing 727, Boeing 737 and BAe 146 / Avro RJ.
  • Balance tweak: reduced running cost of the ATR and Dash-8 and increased running cost of the L-188, increased the purchase cost of the Boeing 2100, and a few other little tweaks.

Bug fixes:

  • Running costs for the generational aircraft now display correctly in the buy menu when using planespeeds other than 1:1.
  • Fixed the set not working in TTDPatch.

[edit] 1.6 - 7th of March 2010

Additions:

  • Added Zeppelin (OpenTTD only).
  • Added the World Aircraft Set and the Russian Planeset to the incompatible GRFs list (av8 will deactivate on detection unless parameter set).

Statistic changes/fixes:

Confirmation:

[edit] 1.501 - 25th of April 2009

Statistic changes/fixes:

  • Reduced purchase cost of the Airship.

Cargo changes:

  • Boeing 234 can now carry all cargos.
  • Added cargo liveries for the Boeing 727.
  • Added Livery Colour refits for all aircraft. You can now fit all aircraft to one of 4 different livery styles (Company, Reverse, Alternative, Blank).

[edit] 1.5 - 15th of April 2009

Additions:

Statistic changes:

  • Variable running costs implemented. Aircraft are now cheaper to run when on the ground and when fitted to cargo and flying empty, and more expensive when taking off or broken down.
  • Running cost base doubled.
  • aircraft with generational graphics (737, 747 and DC-10) now have variable purchase cost, running cost and pax capacity. (Note that capacity changes on purchase are not supported in either game yet).
  • 737, 747, Dash-8, and ATR no longer expire. Increased model life on DC-3 and DC-10.
  • balance tweak: decrease in cargo/mail capacity of large aircraft.
  • balance tweak: increase in purchase price of large aircraft.
  • balance tweak: decrease in running cost of smaller/slower aircraft and helicopters.

Cargo changes:

  • Airship, DC-3, Stratocruiser, L-188, RJ, and 747 can now carry all cargos.

Loading changes:

  • Disabled the optional aircraft (BAC 1-11, F100, ATR-72 and A340) in OTTD if multiple engine sets are allowed. OTTD users will get a new addon grf containing the extra aircraft.
  • Added a check for conflicting grfs (planeset) if multiple engine sets are allowed, and a parameter to disable the check.

[edit] 1.331 - 14th of July 2007

  • Unknown Changes.

[edit] 1.33 - 1st of June 2007

Code changes:
