Just for the record, that's how SimCity 2000 does it. However, SC2000 does not have irregularly-shaped features like TT's industries. > But for airports, it _would_ make a > different to the pattern of air traffic. Yes, airports would be most problematic. The ground parts could be handled by swapping sprites and drawing some of them mirrored horizontally and/or vertically (vertical mirror is actually easier to implement than horizontal), but for some features this would not give proper results. At any rate, the back of the aircraft hangar is supposed to be solid wall, but there are no sprites to show that. > It might also make a > difference to the catchment area around some industries. No, each tile would have to preserve its properties even if drawn with a different sprite. I don't think it would be a big problem, though. -- Marcin Grzegorczyk
