Real Vehicle Names

[Eruresto]

When I was using TTD with TTDAlter, there was a way of getting the real names of the vehicles (e.g. Concorde, not Yate Haugan etc.) Is there any way of doing this in OTTD? I'm a bit of a Jonah when it comes to coding (nothing seems to work - for any game!) so if there's a way of doing it (I can just about get round notepad with instructions ) I'd be really grateful!

There are a lot of .grf-Sets out there, most of them with real names.
For Planes, Check out "Aviators Aircraft", for Trains probably the trainset of your country, e.g. the "DBSetXL", the "UKRS", the "NARS", the serbian railset etc...
Just have a look at grf-crawler and find the ones you like

in the game settings, you can set your language to "original vehicle names (English)"

There are "original vehicle names" and "better vehicle names" GRFs that accomplish what the OP is seeking.

Thanks. Is orginal vehicle names those of the first TT?

[Alberth]

Just try it?

[Huul]

I did. I just don't remember what the names where in the original TT (that's what 20 years does to a man) and I don't feel like buying a floppy disk drive so I can compare.

The patch to OpenTTD gives you the vehicles from TT that were carried over to TTD...the Jinty (for which there is a separate NewGRF),Stanier Crab and D49,and Gresley A3 are not included.

Not sure if the "TTO Full Conversion" NewGRF covers those.
