Plane Crash Control

Determine under what circumstances planes may crash.

-=Switch=-

Configuration file: planecrashcontrol

Command line: -Xc

-=Description=-

Using this switch you can determine under what circumstances planes may crash, as well as the probability of this happening.

The switch is a bit switch.  To find out how that works, see Bit Switches, or simply add up the values of the options you want:

||Bit|Value|Name|Effect

0|1|normdis|Normal plane crashes are turned off if disasters are turned off in the Difficulty Settings window in TTD.  This does not affect crashes that occur when a jet plane tries to land on a small airport --- i.e. those crashes are not "normal".

1|2|jetsdis|Jet planes landing on small airports don't crash if disasters are turned off.

2|4|normbrdown|Normal plane crashes occur only when a plane lands after a breakdown, but then they are four times more likely than normally.  If this option is specified together with the next one, it affects all plane crashes, not just normal ones.

3|8|jetssamerate|Jets landing on small airports have the normal crash probability.

4|16|normoff|All normal plane crashes are turned off, regardless of other settings.

5|32|jetsoff|Jets landing on small airports never crash, regardless of other settings.||

For example, with planecrashcontrol 5 normal plane crashes occur only when a plane is broken down, and only if disasters are turned on; planecrashcontrol 48 disables plane crashes altogether.

With this switch turned off, the normal crash probability is about 1 in 1500; for jet planes landing on small airports, the probability of a crash is 1 in 20.
