Title: General questions on LE and specific questions on airport LOTing
Post by: jaimeua on December 06, 2007, 09:57:02 PM
Hope somebody can help me......I've Got a couple of questions......on LE
First if I modify a (lets say) a park lot and "build" an airport lot (base texture, props, etc) where will I find that lot on the game?
Secound, There are some lots that I can't change it's size and I can't use the button "save as"....what's is going on the there?
When I open a R lot, will I only see R related props and buildings?
I'm working on my airport and I would like to have diferent airplanes therefor  I dowloaded a airplane prop pack. I used the PM on the model and now I can see the props. I would like to have this planes on the gates and the runways (I have the ACB-VLT and the RMIP-2 in my plugin folder). First I tried  to use a gate from the ACB-VLT (an empty gate) then I used the prop of the plane Wanted and.......I could not "save as". Then I tried to modify a R lot (because I had the chance to "save as" ) and turn it into a parked airplane but I not sure well be it on the game. Besides i can't change the building   because there are no building in 2D just the default maxis buildings (I don't want an airplane on the runway with a house next to the wing  ;) ).

Well these are my problems. I'm a simcity player since simcity 2000 And I actually think I'm pretty good building cities and specially arports but I'm a real amateur for lot editing and I'm not even talking about BATing...........cause I did not eve try it........ I also read every single tutorial I found and I learned something but I still have problems.
I hope somebody can help me with this questions. I will really apreciate it!!!! And my future CJ too (My first one)
Pd. Sorry for the english...I'm a spanish speaker...  &ops

If you use a park lot as a base for a new lot it will show up in the Park menu in game.
RCI lots are growables and cannot be used as a ploppable. If you try to change the building you will only see buildings of the correct type but you can use props of any sort.
I cannot check the RMIP-2 lots to see why you cannot Save As but often this is because they have special properties and should not have a duplicate - reward lots are the same.
I hope this helps but if you have further questions please ask.
