[OTTD] Some screenshots by Dr. B. Ching (2.0)

Hey guys,

I posted some screenshots back in 2011, but unfortunately they're no longer online. Sorry about that! I'll use the attachment feature of the forum to prevent it from happening again. Anyway, don't expect long-winded descriptions here, as I can't spare the time anymore ...apologies! I'll be posting updates occasionally as my game progresses. Enjoy the screenshots and if you have questions etc, by all mean don't hesitate to comment!

I'm still using the excellent highmap by Espee and the same two patches (you can find the links on the other thread). The parameters of this game are:

Image
  • Day-length factor of 12
  • Realistic acceleration (RVs, trains)
  • Slope steepness of 3 % (do.)
  • Weight multiplier of one
  • Plane speed factor of 1/1
  • Breakdowns disabled
Kind Regards,
The Axe

Thanks man! Time for another batch of pictures, I feel! Let's look at Nuley for a moment, which is one of the most important transportation hubs in the region.

Another eyesore I had to take care of: Gartminster junction. About 50% of my freight trains have to pass through here.

Now for something a bit different: snapshots of a remote line deep in the mountains.

Beautiful screenshots. I love natural scenery, and against the background of the road. :))

Nice road network. I tend to transfer a lot of freight to road when you get powerful trucks later in the game, to decongest my railways and tramways.
