  I don't think I would need this feature. But sometimes in the "trans-
parent building"  mode, I'm  annoyed by  those overlapping  sky scraper
buildings in larger cities -- because  you can't see anything more than
without that mode.

  In those cases, I wish another "Sim City 2000" feature. There was a
little button to switch between normal view and schematic mode, were
buildings were represented by coloured squares. The colours told you
about the type of the building (house, industry, support) -- adapted to
"house, station types, industry types" (colours matching those of the
map window) could be great!

  OpenTTD offers four  types of airport. The heliport,  the little air-
port, the large airport, some big-city airport and a huge-city airport.
The least two have multiple runways.

  The big-city one has two directly beneath each other, the other one at
the N-W and at the S-W side.

  I don't think it'll die too fast.
