Jim Powers' Scenarios & Games (TTDP)

[SHADOW-XIII]

great, I like Japanese maps ...
and your latest map is just great to

[rct101]

This scenario is named "The Toyko Experience".

i like the sound of that

[smartazz]

Can't wait for this one. Well done on creating some excellent maps, Jim, in particular your last one, "Northeast", if I could find some more time to play it properly it would be good

[Jim Powers]

Dear TT-Forums Family;

A big thanks for all your encouragement. I do appreciate
it greatly and will try even harder to bring some more exciting
adventure with more scenarios of a different nature.
Back to building "The Tokyo Experience".

Always,
Jim Powers

Dear TT-Forums Family;

Here is a preview of my latest scenario "The Tokyo Experience"!:)

Will be finished with it soon. Am testing it now.
This is the first of The Japanese Series which will go with Mr. Krtaylor's
Japanese Train Set . I've found it most enjoyable building this
scenario with lava hills and mountains and vast cities with suburbs.
Of course, there's plenty of industries to keep you thinking of ways to
negotiate around all those people!

Here's a screenshot of "The Tokyo Experience".

[krtaylor]

Dang, that looks really cool. You've done a lot of work on it.

[Jim Powers]

Dear TT-Forums Family;

I've made a questionaire for getting your opinion in making
scenarios. If I know what you like best, then I'll be making
something that will please all of us. OK?

These programs are on Excel

Thanks for your cooperation.

Always,
Jim Powers

Dear TT-Forums Family;

Well, I just got married in Cyprus! So, I haven't been around.
I guess the Questionaire was too hard to do, Huh? Anyway, I
was playing "Northeast Rails" and I truely had a lot of enjoyment
playing it, working to get the right type of US SET trains to carry
cargo, etc. over those mountains. If anyone wants my saved game,
feel free to ask. Now, having played this scenario extensively, I
found some things I didn't like too much. One was the placement
of RR stations in most of the cities. And the other was the way I set
the LARGE airports. So, I revamped the whole railroad layout and
made the space for larger airports while making room for the small
airports to be used until 1955. Now, for you who found "Northeast Rails"
a blast, get ready for even more fun and challenges with

"NORTHEAST RAILS PART II"

I hope you all have as much fun playing it as I have.

Always,
Jim Powers

Dear mister Powers,

Dear TT-Forums Family;

Well, I just got married in Cyprus! So, I haven't been around.

Well congratulations, also for your wife.

I guess the Questionaire was too hard to do, Huh?

The server experienced some serious downtime, and that made it impossible to visit here. Be glad you missed it.

I'll try it for sure, as allways.
Have fun being married, and get the wife to visit here as well.
Yours truly, Rob Claessen

[krtaylor]

Congratulations, Jim! I'm glad to see you back on the Forums. I was thinking, surely Jim hasn't gotten caught up in the LoMo craze too, has he?

[Jim Powers]

Mr. Rob;

Thanks for your acknowledgement, Sir. As for the wife,
the ONE problem we have is me being at the computer
too much and "not toughing" her enough, (Ha.Ha.)
Anyway, we got back and had a couple of days before
going back to work, so she went to she her family and
I went to work on improving Northeast Rails, which I did
with "Northeast Rails Part II."

BTW, my scenario "The Tokyo Experience" is under wraps
until the Mr. Krtaylor's team has finished the Japanese trains
and is ready to play. I appreciate your comments, Sir.

Always,
Jim Powers

[Jim Powers]

Mr Krtaylor;

Sorry for not discussing the improved scenario "Northeast Rails Part II"
with you before releasing it on TT-Forums. I didn't think about it until I
did it ,Sir. I've been playing Northeast Rails for the last few weeks and
this scenario really has been a challenge, with those mountains and trying
to cope with getting the raw materials "to market" while combining that with
the faster passenger US trains. A pretty intense railroad network evolved,
I might say, but, huge fun. I just love your US trains, Sir!

I'm glad to see you back on the Forums. I was thinking, surely Jim hasn't gotten caught up in the LoMo craze too, has he?

No, with all due respect to our TTD God, Mr. Chris Sawyer, I'm staying
with what I know and like Transport Tycoon Deluxe. There will be time
later, I'm sure, for Locomotion.

Will get with you later on, Ken.

Always,
Jim Powers

Dear TT-Forums Family;

The latest USA scenario is almost out! It's called "Mid Central Rails".
Here's where you can make a fortune selling cattle and other farm
goods at an exciting pace and you may also have suberb success
developing a long distance bus lines.

"Mid-Central Rails" is, of course, geared to use mr. krtaylor's US Set
of trains. I've held off making scenarios for a while only because I've been
so fascinated with these USA trains which I, (a USA citizen,) grew up with.
So..... understandibly I'm excited about them.
The scenario "Northwest Rails" part II was a huge bundle of fun using
the US SET. But, OK, now I'm back to making more scenarios.
(Everybody needs a break now and then.)

"Mid Central Rails is being tested now, will let you know when it's released.

Always,
Jim Powers

[Jim Powers]

Dear TT-Forums Family;

With those new stations, you are able, with the help of Waypoints,
to make your trains go into the proper track in the station, i.e. Just
Grain, Just Cattle, etc. Below show what I mean. I great big thanks
to the "genius" who designed and allowed us 'regulars' to use them.
Thanks Man!

Always,
Jim Powers

Dear TT-Forums Family;

OK, My latest scenario, "Mid Central Rails" really suprised
me with the ability to make a extravegant railroad layout
that is a huge amount of Tycoon fun! I've only stopped playing
'Mid Central Rails' long enough so as to make it possible for
you all to enjoy it too. Great flat land for super large trains and
am also enjoying a nice income from the long distance bus lines.
I've just completed my passenger/mail RR service and will be
starting my industrial RR section this weekend. Can't wait! Just
love those US SET of trains. Great fun also with the new stations.
Thanks guys for all your efforts in making all this possible.

I'd also like to especially Thank Mr. Owen Rudge for making this
great and fabulous Forum, "TT-Forums.Net." Thank You, Sir!!

Here is "Mid Central Rails"! Let me know what YOU think, OK?

Always,
Jim Powers

[Louie Armstrong]

Hi Jim, That Tokyo scenario looks awesome, i cant wait just what i have been looking for, a scenario that allows me to build proper suburban lines,

Thanks again

[orudge]

I'd also like to especially Thank Mr. Owen Rudge for making this

Well, thank you for making all these wonderful scenarios. I'll definitely have a look at your new scenario when I get back this weekend. Will make a nice change from Locomotion.

[krtaylor]

Hi Jim, That Tokyo scenario looks awesome, i cant wait just what i have been looking for, a scenario that allows me to build proper suburban lines,

It'll work well with the US set, but it'll work even better once the Japanset is released.

[Jim Powers]

Dear TTD Friends;

I'm sorry for not working on my next scenario, but, I'm having too much
fun playing "Mid Central Rails"! With the layout like it is, it gives you plenty
of space to make the darnest RR interchanges and cross-country RR system
one could ever want. What a challenge!

I did do a little research work, though, on my newest scenario
"California Western Rails". I'm laying out the basics so as to have mountains,
valleys, and also a lot of desert too. If I can get away from 'Mid Central Rails'
long enough, I'll be creating (hopfully) another enjoyable and challenging scenario.
I believe this one will be a winner!

BTW, my scenarios "Extreme Cities", on page #2, has passed 1,400 downloads
and "Outrageous Outback II", on page #6, has gone over 1,200 downloads!
Thanks for playing these and the other scenarios. It makes me want to
continue making more scenarios.

Always,
Jim Powers

You know that there's an Aussie set under way now finally, do you? You should post a link to that scenario in there, they might appreciate it. They've been looking for suitable scenarios.
