[New Feature] Option to prevent aircraft from landing on the map

Open Crimsonum opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Description:

When giving a move order to aircraft, they will always land at the designated spot. This is in many cases undesirable, as it prevents aircraft from passively engaging enemies, and makes them less maneuverable. Having the option to prevent aircraft from landing anywhere but helipads would greatly improve air-to-surface combat (and air-to-air, if implemented). This is the default behavior in RA2 and later games.

Possible Implementation:

New key for AircraftTypes: HelipadBound= (bool). If set, the aircraft cannot land outside helipads. Another key could control whether or not the aircraft should crash if no helipads are present.

There's a boolean key called Landable for AircraftTypes, but it doesn't actually prevent the aircraft from landing if disabled, and disabling it causes problems when producing the aircraft.
