Any way to change planes flight path?

[Mikal]

There's a big mountain near one of my airports and the planes like to fly through it when reducing altitude to land, any way I can change their paths without moving the airport?

Well you can change the direction of take off and landing but I don't think much else.

Well thanks but even that requires demolishing and rebuilding the airport

If you used the larger airport (i.e. the one that the game calls an airport rather than an airfield), you can delete the existing approach lights and stick a new set on the other end of the runway to change its directionality when you select it and choose Configure.

No you only have to demolish the landing lights and replace them to get planes to change directions for runways. Only available for the Airports though, not Airfields.

Thanks didn't know that

Here's a quick tutorial on how to alter/edit aircraft approach paths.

No waypoints for air or water craft. So no way of changing flight path without moving airport itself.

Id love to see waypoints for the aircraft. im playing a mountainous map and it bugs me. one thing i dont understand is just as a plane hits a mountain it follows the contour of it for about 200 feet then goes through it. if it can gain 200ft in height then why not fly higher.
