[.13-1.1.109] Aircraft (1.8.9)

[Optera]

Could you change when afterburners kick in?
The responsiveness at low speeds is so terrible that I rather park anywhere, pick it up and place the plane in it's parking spot in front of a smart loader.

I'm not sure if you can change that without scripting, I just used the exoskeleton prototype for it.

Hey. Are the trees supposed to be draw on top of the ships?

Not really, but I'm not sure how to fix that without breaking other stuff, for now it's not really a big deal.

1.3.6 is released!

This is largely a testing release because I wanted to see how well the mod settings menu worked, and I'm fairly happy with it.

- Added a setting to disable aircraft sounds and revert to car engine, maybe now the vocal minority can get off my back about the sounds
- Added 'hardmode'. Basically it just halves all damage resistances on Aircraft, making them a bit easier for the biters to blow up. Watch yourself out there, and use the shields!
- Updated info.json to look a bit more appealing from the mod portal.

Aren't the aircraft a little small?

[Thomasnotused]

1.3.8 has been released!

- Added settings for Helicopters and Raven mod users to gate their respective researches behind Advanced Aerodynamics.

- Added Rocketry to the list of prerequisites for Gunships, since the recipe requires rocket launchers anyways.

[Wildejackson]

Is each aircraft meant to have 2 versions with separate weapons? I don't know if its intended behavior because theirs no local for the other versions.

1.4.0 has been released, allowing for 0.16 play. I have done no playtesting as of yet, so be warned.

- Compatibility settings temporarily disabled until compatible mods are updated.

1.4.1 has been released, re-enabling Helicopters compatibility setting.

1.4.2 is released, re-enabling Raven compatibility setting. Researches now only require 1 each of pack, e.g. 1 red 1 green 1 blue, instead of 3 red 2 green 1 blue, etc. Total packs required mildly increased to compensate.

1.4.3 is released, re-enabling Bob's mods compatibility. Updated Bob's mods version prerequisites.

Hey SuicidalKid,

Love your mod, nothing better than fast exploration and killing biters from the air. But uhm... It takes a while to get there. Have you thought about early game flying? Maybe an autogyro with no inventory that only fits the player?

Something like this:

[Thomasnotused]

1.4.4 is released. Updated German translation.

1.4.5 is released.

- Significantly increased crafting times for nearly all items.
- Significantly reduced damage of High-Explosive Cannon Shell to bring it more in-line to fit inbetween Explosive Cannon Shells and Explosive Uranium Cannon Shells. (AoE still larger than EUCS)
- Moderately increased the number of batteries used in the Aircraft Energy Shield recipe.
- Added minimum range to High-Explosive Cannon Shells.
- Reduced range of High-Explosive Cannon Shells to match other cannon shells.
- Doubled stack size of High-Explosive Cannon Shells to match other cannon shells.
- Re-ordered High-Explosive Cannon Shells to be in-between Explosive and Uranium Cannon Shells.
- Re-ordered all Aircraft to be in Logistics tab along with other vehicles.

1.4.6 is released.

1.4.7 is released.

Changes:
- Gave all Aircraft belt immunity.
- Updated High-Explosive Cannon Shell graphics, thanks to ST-DDT.
Compatibility:

1.4.8 is released.
Changes:
- Considerably simplified some internal workings, thanks to Yousei9 and ST-DDT.

- Made belt immunity a setting, instead of forced, thanks to Yousei9 and ST-DDT.
Locale:
- Minor German translation tweaks.

Nice. New graphics ftw.^^

The belt immunity is also a good thing, I try to avoid belts/inserters though as they tend to unload my planes, is there something I can do against that?
and that just after I build a express highway for my planes

As for inserters, I'm not sure if you can stop it from doing that without some fairly heavy scripting. I try to stay away from that, since if it breaks I would have no clue how to fix it.

[Thomasnotused]

1.4.9 is released.

Locale:
- Minor Russian translation tweaks, thanks to IgorLutiy.
Bugfixes:
- Fixed that toggling a compatibility setting for a non-installed mod would crash the game on startup.

As usual, if you find any bugs, report them here, on Github or on the Mod Portal.

Afterburner?
Settings? Where do I find those? Would be nice to get a bit of documentation. Or maybe I'm just blind.

Is there any way to toggle a certain take off-speed like the "raven" mod has? I really like it since it adds a small challange and feels more like a plane. There used to be this mod but it doesnt work anymore.

[Thomasnotused]

Afterburner?

You research it after Advanced Aerodynamics and you can slot it into the aircraft equipment grid for a speed boost.

You can find settings for all mods from the main menu -> options -> mods

You can use this one and just change the "factorio_version" in the info.json from 0.15 to 0.16. I don't maintain it because if the script breaks, idk how to fix it.

Alright, thanks, no I feel dumb

It doesn't work, I'm getting a script error.

Code: Select all

Error while running event LiftoffEnhanced::on_player_driving_changed_state (ID 26)
LuaEntity doesn't contain key passenger.
stack traceback:

Thanks anyway!

[Thomasnotused]

[Thomasnotused]

New graphics for aircraft Afterburner, thanks to ST-DDT.
