There are frequently branches of OpenTTD such as CargoDestinations (CargoDIst), InfrastructureSharing2 or ExtraZoomLevels. These branches of OTTD are made from players, with added patches, to improve gameplay.

The OTTD FAQ covers a range of commonly asked questions, such as how do install OTTD, right though a range of subjects to development of OTTD.

Any questions you have, that are not answered on the Wiki, might have already been asked before on the forums, so we ask of you to please use the search function on the forum, before posting your question, however don't be scared to ask. Many people will try to help.

NewGRF and AI are most conveniently downloaded from the ingame content download. Using that functionality, no further installation of them is required and they can be configured for use in future games from the newgrf and AI lists respectively. In the case of NewGRFs not obtained via the ingame content download, a guide to installing NewGRFs can be found here.
