How to make vehicles go faster.

Post by wozzar »

Does anyone know how to make a bus go faster around the corner. It slows right down when turning a corner. Any ideas.

Build a bigger corner. In the paved roads set, there is a bigger radius curve (takes up three squares). Vehicles will go a lot faster around this than they will the tiny little sharp corner.

I think he/she was asking about how to mod the vehicle speed setting, not basic road constructions.

A bigger corner dosent make a diffrence. It is the same problem with the trains in TTD when they go round a curve they slow down.

I have change the speed that isnt the problem. When it just about to reach a curve it really slows down.

The larger radius curve does make a difference - they slow down a lot less for this.

Sharp curves and junctions will always make them slow down - this is about realism. When's the last time you saw a bus take a 90 degree turn into a T junction at 30mph+? :P

Thats is what we call realistic. Don't you slow down for corners when driving a car? Or do you take a right turn at full speed! hehe.....
