Some OpenTTD questions (train list and others)

[aaronw]

Hi All.

Recently downloaded OpenTTD and love it.

some questions, which I guess are also appropriate for TTD itself...

1) Is there a way in the train list to get a list of trains that have orders for a specific station? Or can you constrain it to only show trains that have car 'X' in them? Where X = a certain locomotive type (I know I have a 80 mph one in somewhere messing up my 110mph line, but I can't find him...) or X = a cargo car type. It would be really interesting to also do 'show me all trains that have exactly 7 ore cars' so that I would know which ones still need to get additional capacity when I am in the middle of rolling out a 7 car to 11 car cargo upgrade across my network.

2) Is there a graph somewhere that shows acceleration with certain locomotives/hp ratings as cargo carried increases? This would let me know how long I can make trains before I need to add another loco or do something else...

I finally found out that 2 cars = 1 station platform length, so 13 cargo + 1 loco is the longest that will fit easily...

3) Is there a way to get a graph of cargo sitting at a station for the past, say, 6 months, daily? This would let me see if I really do need to provision extra cargo cars out of a site or if it's just a momentary delay in getting a train back to the station.

Is there an effort underway to add more exacting detail to the wiki for the openttd patches window? Some of them are a little unclear to me and need a little more explanation.

I'm sure I'll have more questions as I get back into it.

Celestar has made a station statistics patch that allows this option.

No, but it sounds like a good suggestion.

2) Is there a graph somewhere that shows acceleration with certain locomotives/hp ratings as cargo carried increases? This would let me know how long I can make trains before I need to add another loco or do something else...

No, but this also sounds good.

No

The wiki is user edited (you can add stuff to it) so there are no set plans for anything.
