separate option to switch old vehicle news on/off
I like how issues with vehicles are shown in the news ticker. For example if a car got lost.
But it really annoys me to get all those "the vehicle got old and needs to be replaced" messages.
I suggest to split the option for enabling/disabling these messages in the option menu.

From the Main Menu, click "Advanced Settings". Change the filter to "Expert settings / all settings". Expand the options under "Interface", then "News and messages", and then change the option on "Advice / information on company's vehicles" to "Off".

That also disables 'vehicle is lost' notifications, IIRC.kamnet wrote:From the Main Menu, click "Advanced Settings". Change the filter to "Expert settings / all settings".

Yes, unless something was changed recently. Always my number 1 issue with "no breakdowns, vehicle never expire" games. ^^

Enabling autorenew suppresses the "vehicle is getting old" notifications, regardless of whether they ever actually enter a depot and get renewed.

Re: separate option to switch old vehicle news on/off
Well, it does also according to the source code of OpenTTD 1.3.2
However, this changes the game play and not only the notification settings.
For me it is rather unpleasant that I can not solely turn off the notification message.
Thus, I still stick to this feature request as it is.
Code: Select all
/* Don't warn if a renew is active */
if (Company::Get(v->owner)->settings.engine_renew && v->GetEngine()->company_avail != 0) return;

Re: separate option to switch old vehicle news on/off
Between replacing vehicles which can be very expensive during a game while the option "no breakdown, the vehicle never expires" and no longer having notifications there is a big difference.
