Roads

[Malwatt]

Downloaded 1.10.0-Beta2 tonight.
Roads are "greyed out".
Not able to build them.
Is there something I need to turn on?

Are you using any NewGRFs?
What year is it?

[kamnet]

OpenTTD doesn't show a transport infrastructure as available unless there's vehicles available to use them on. I suspect that you've started a game earlier than there are vehicles available.

Solution #1: Start a new game with a later date (1930 or higher if you're not using NewGRFs).
Solution #2: Add a NewGRF vehicle set that offers vehicles in the year you want to start.

I think there's supposed to be exceptions in place for the default roads so they are available in all years, simply because towns can't function without roads.

It's a 1.10 thing/bug, roads were available without vehicles in 1.9
