Jim Powers' Scenarios & Games (TTDP)

Fair enough Jim, Thanks for the Christmas wishes and may you have a good Christmas too

Dear TT-Forums Members and Guests;

For the New Year's Day that many of you will have off, I've re-worked almost completely
one of my USA scenarios, 'Virginia Rails,' which features the Eastern shores of Virginia.
This sequel is called "Virginia Rails II[/color]".
I've reduced the large cities and took out a lot of unnecessary infrastructure and,
(as one can see from my Super Pic,) I've eliminated also many of those mini rivers I
had before. All in all this has turned out to be one heck of a scenario, probably one
of my best. So download "Virginia Rails II[/color]", and kick back and enjoy some of
the joys of TTD, this New Years Day.

Happy New Years![/color]

Always,
Jim Powers

Dear Raichase;

Hey Man, thank you again for listing my latest scenario "Virginia Rails II[/color]".
It's been a week since I looked at Page #1, but, I should've known my ol' Buddy
would take care of me. Thank You, Friend.

I've been busy lately with the thought of probably taking a job offer in Key West, Florida.
I worked there for 4 months just before being transferred to Israel. The offer sounds great,
so, if God wills....

Meanwhile I've been, of course, playing TTD. Here is a Super Pic from "Virginia Rails II"
scenario called what else but 'Virginia Transfer Company'. This is 70 years (2000) later.

Always,
Jim Powers

[Raichase]

Like you live for the screenie and the scenario, I live to serve . Always glad to help Jim . Looking good in those super pics too

Best of luck with the job in Florida too, that'd be great! My thoughts are with you Jim, good luck.

Gentlemen & Others;

I've been again reworking one of my earlier scenarios. This one is from "Brazil, So Real".
It Called "Brazil, Now[/color]".
In "Brazil, Now[/color]", among many other changes, I've reduced all the cities and started it
from 1935 to make for a very interesting scenario with a lot more areas for you to develop.
Change this charming country of Brazil, from an humble primitive beginning into a ultra
modern country.

In "Brazil, Now[/color]", as you 'chug' along the hot sweltering rain forest, in a makeshift passenger
wagon, behind the smoky stack of an early small locomotive. You will visualize that one day
you, and only you, can turn this heated wastland into a metropolius paradise, if you can
make enough money to finance this huge undertaking. Want to try? Or will you just 'cave in'
like so many others, to complacency and go bankrupt. It's up to you as you venture into one
of South America's largest country. Go ahead and download "Brazil, Now",
and let the venture begin.

Always,
Jim Powers

Ooh, a Brazilian scenario - that just happens to be where I am at the moment! Perhaps I should start a new game of TTD sometime soon!

[Jim Powers]

Dear Mr. Owen Rudge;

Thanks for writing, my Good Friend. Wow you're in Brazil right now?
Great! They tell me that there are some great places to see there.
I've not been further south than Porto Verto, Mexico. I've been
so 'caught up' in playing my scenario "Brazil, Now", that I've not got
back to making scenarios yet. And also trying to prepare for my 'exit'
from Israel, to Key West. Everything looks good, so far. I hope
you have a safe and great time in Brazil, Big Guy.

Thank you, Mr. Raichase, for faithfully posting "Brazil, Now".
You're the best!

Don't you drag my name through the dirt you.....

[Jim Powers]

Mr. Rob:

"Quick! Someone rob his house." : That was a good one, Sir!

Mr. Geo.c Ghost, Thanks, my Friend. BTW, what are you majoring in (at college?)
Things are looking good, so far, in moving to Key West.

Here's the latest screenshot from my Saved Game called 'Brazil's Finest Transport',
from my last scenario "Brazil, Now".
Always,

I'm doing a BTEC National Diploma in Media

Film making and the like.
It has its good and bad times as with all things

Dear TT-Forum Members;

I came accross a scenario the other day that was simply named 'Ireland'. I've researched
it against the maps of Ireland that I found on-line and found it to be quite good, aside from some
minor things, (names that I couldn't find and the 'relief could use a little help, etc.) So, for my
own personal use, I re-worked this scenario. It really came out great. Now, I've tried to find
the person who made this scenario and can't seem to find him or her. I think I've had this 'map'
on file for at least 5 years, so, maybe they aren't around? Anyway I want to share this scenario
with you all, (if I may,) but, would like to get permission first from it's
author. If anyone knows who this is, would you let me know?
Thank you ahead of time.

BTW, I called this revised version " Luck of the Irish ."

Always,
Jim Powers

[DanMacK]

So many scenarios, so little time I love the look of the Ireland scenario, I definitely will check it out ASAP. So you're currently moving to Key West Jim? If so, can we expect to see a South Florida/Keys scenario from you? I'd love to build the Key West extension in TTDP

[Jim Powers]

Mr. DanMacK;

Thanks for all your help, my Friend. and, yes, looks like we'll be moving in about
2 months. I worked in Key West on a project for 4 or 5 months before coming to
Israel. I know about this unusual "Eighth wonder of the world", (as it was called,)
Railway. I, in fact, made a scenario of The Keys, a number of years ago, way before
I realized that others might like to play my scenarios. So, it's long gone as well as so
many other great scenarios.
Had I'd known about good ol' TT-Forum and some of the other sites,
I'd have, of course, been happy to share.

As for "Luck of the Irish", what I'll do is post it, then if the original author request it
not to be displayed, then, I'll take it out of operation. I believe that is the fairest way to go.

"Luck of the Irish" is a delightfully scenario with plenty of it's famous greenery among
the hills and knolls. A beautiful country indeed! As you go about building your early RR,
winding around some of the forests and along the the Irish meadows, I'm sure
you'll enjoy the progress of each village which starts out quite small and then developes
into fair size cities as one continues in his/her quest to connect this towns and villages
and to bring the necessary commerce together in a profitable way.

What I love about this scenario is the placment of the communities and the challange of
connecting them and the resources together without harming the natural environment,
which is so stunning. Maybe you'll agree. Try my latest (refurbished) scenario
"Luck of the Irish" to see.

Always,
Jim Powers

Closed off communities? Oooh, sounds like the movie, arrgh! What is it called? Can't remember, by M.Night Shayamalan. Anyway, will check your game out in OTTD *shock and horror*. Haha!

@Jim Powers: I found a similar map at easttown.co.uk, it noted the author as Simon Lowe. Maybe that could help.

@Jim Powers (again): The website is http://www.easttown.co.uk, under the Scenarios menu. It's there noted as 'Ireland', exactly the same, except you've changed the towns, the industries and the landscape. It did list his e-mail, I think.

[Jim Powers]

Mr.Two5Kid;

I sure appreciate your interest, Sir. Maybe someone here at the Forums will be able
to locate him."@Jim Powers: I found a similar map at easttown.co.uk, it noted the
author as Simon Lowe." I checked all the "S" in the Forums' membership list but
came up empty.Do you know where I might download his map, so that i can see if it's
the one I redid? Thanks again for your interest and help, Mr.Two5Kid.

Always,
Jim Powers

[Sir Bob]

Jim,

The link for a download can be found here. His e-mail address is also hyper-linked in his name on that page.

Hope this helps,

Sir Bob

[Jim Powers]

Mr. Sir Bob;

Thank you and Mr.Two5Kid, in locating Mr. Simon Lowe who, in fact, is the author
of this "Ireland" scenario. I've just wrote him requesting his permission to either keep
or take off my revised scenario of his "Ireland" scenario, which I've called "Luck of the Irish".
I know from experience, that Mr. Lowe has a lot of work going into making his fine scenario
and I'd be the last Guy to try to 'steal' his scenario, in any way. He made the scenario. I only
enhanced it a bit. But, any way you look at it, it's gonna be fun playing it!

Thanks again for your interest and help in locating Mr. Simon Lowe.

Always,
Jim Powers

Here's the latest screenshot from my Saved Game called 'Brazil's Finest Transport',
from my last scenario "Brazil, Now".

Heh, nice to see that João Pessoa is in your scenario - my Dad lives near there. I haven't had time to play your scenario (or TTD at all) unfortunately, but one day, I shall have to give it a shot!

All the best,

[Jim Powers]

Mr. Owen Rudge;

Hey Brother, It's always good to hear from the 'Boss'! So, your dad lives in Brazil
and you north of Scotland, Wow, that sound like a bit of adventure. Kind a like myself.
I never in my wildest dreams ever thought I'd wind up in Israel, and for 12 years (in April)?
Never. But, everything is looking good for my return to the good ol' US of A. The only thing
that's keeping us here still is my Israeli wife's Green Card, and we're going through a lot of
'Red Tape' because of all the terrorist crap.

My Friend, Mr. Raichase, has again helped me by posting my last (revised) scenario,
"Luck of the Irish", which I heartily Thank him for his faithful efforts in making
this topic such a success. Thanks, Big Guy!

Always,
Jim Powers
