This omg

Also, would be nice to visualize the data the map (hotkey f4) shows on the game screen. The pixel map make for a bad macro assessment.

Also, a hotkey for assigning orders, if there isn't one.

Isn't there any possibility to update the first post with newer suggestions and their implementation status or way to get them? (As it happens on the wiki)
I ask about it in order to ease for newbies in forums finding that info in this place (I know the most common situation is that this post is ignored. However, I think that is worth the effort )
Sorry if my english is bad, so feel free to correct me.

In general, there will be a lot more people able to change a wiki than a forum post. and since keeping a list like this up to date requires both knowledge and dedication, you will rarely find people matching all of these requirements. you're better off putting a link to the wiki.

A few more.

War disaster - war themed additions won't be implemented.
Seasons - variable snow levels in arctic climate is available via NewGRF
Faster planes - matter of writing NewGRF
Whole city catchment area - Set station spread to 64, and place station tiles throughout the city.

But not as a consequence of an adjustable maintenance budget,with derailment risks associated with breaking speed limits


How many NewGRFs actually offer more maglevs or future vehicles?...I know the two Vactrain/track sets.I thought you were the one who commented that there weren't many.


But we're still stuck with the same number of HQ stages,with the top one easily achieved before a company grows enormously larger with no further change possible.

The beauty of an open add-on system like OpenTTD is that if you see something that's missing, you can make your own add-on. With enough drive and patience, anyone can learn to create a vehicle NewGRF.

Dutch Set version 2, UK Renewal Set 3.04 (and its addon pack), US Train Set, eGRVTS, NUTS, av8, 2cc train set, and probably some more, do offer some future (relative to 2016) vehicles. Modern Maglev Trains, as name implies, is dedicated to maglev trains, including some future trains.

a lot of these already exist in grfs and jgrpp

Yes, we made note of that nearly two years ago

Has anyone looked into a Research & Development feature with some sort of tech tree such that companies have to invest money and time into developing and manufacturing new vehicles and improvements instead of getting access to them for free with the passing of time? Or perhaps use R&D to get early access to various technologies and vehicles.

Apologies if this was already brought up.

We have discussed it a bit on IRC, implementing something so Game Script can control vehicle introductions, and maybe also affect industries in various ways. It hasn't gone further than vague ideas so far.

If someone would be willing to send me a completed and formatted list, I'd happily update the first post accordingly.
