your wish is fullfilled
small note though, it s not anymore a multiplayer game, the multiplayer session ended at the time i posted the last save, so now all progress added you will see are made by me, using mostly the "french" company, but also using the others companies when i find it more convenient. I think i mainly added industrial traffic and stations, by train and by road a little by ship, made some improvements in many places (rail junction, better looking stations, or simple upgrade of stations, etc), i added probably a couple airport too, and i think a couple newgrf too (also changed a few parameters from newgrfs)
I added some AIs too, so you ll need to download them from ingame content, if you don t have them already (this i supose is not imperativ as if AI crash it will just stop building)
-> i added AI because i wanted some help on serving more industries, they are limited to RV so they do short haul service, wich i totally letted aside. (i added Road Runner, AIAI, and Simple AI for this purpose)
There is also some Civil AI, wich build roads connection (and serve a few towns as they do need money).

it s impossible to calculate, game was sometime running with no one there, sometime with 4 players, we cheated the dates at least once and i can t remember of how many years. So too many variable to give a correct estimation of the time needed to build all this...but it was many hours of fun that s for sure (and i m still having fun with it).
But i supose i made run my server for something like a month at least, and during the summer vacation period wich might have helped a few of the players to spend more time than they would usually.
So i hope you guys will enjoy the update
Edit : that savegame was made with JGRpatchpack 15.1 (so you require it to run that savegame)
