[WIP] [OpenTTD] LONDON (and surroundings)

[lolper]

I have attached a picture of the current state of the Scenario. I know its not geographically accurate. I have just been looking for a decent London map for a year now. So I decided to build one myself.

I need to add some more suburbs south of Heathrow and add the M25.

I have a lot of British newgrf and Cargodist, the aim is to play as 'TfL'

Nice.

A couple of observations:

- Edgware has no 'e' in the middle.
- Where are Chesham and Amersham?

[Kevo00]

Impressive stuff - I like the way the parks are in accurately. Being TfL would be an interesting challenge.

[lolper]

Thank you!

Living in SW-London I know that area the best.

I have given myself virtually unlimited with money and I am building the transport network. Need to restart now, because the tube-stock I chose expired evetually.

The parks in Central London and SW should be accurate(ish). I have fenced them in with fences, so the towns cant grow in to them, unless you demolish them, but why would you do that?

I have renamed Edgware and added Chesham and Amersham.

More feedback? I will post a new update once I feel there has been more progress.

Here is a screenshot of Hyde Park. The map is 2048 x 2048

This map, played on that Russian patchpack that allows subways, would be SUPERB

[lolper]

What??!

Must download the patch.

There you go:

but it can't open scenarios made on trunk for some reason

[lolper]

Thank you. Been waiting for the underground function for ages. Will try it and recreate the scenario.

I'll have to test the functionality aswell. Looks like you cant go subsurface to surface?

[lolper]

Looks like the patch does everything except taking the line overground when you come further out.

Added a screenshot of how the tubestation could look.

Cheam btw is more between Epsom and Sutton not north west of Sutton. i should know i live near there

This scenario looks amazing, exactly what I've wanted to play since I was a teenager in the 90s playing the original TTD and made clumsy attempts at creating.
Will you be offering this scenario publicly at some point lolper? Or is it just a private project you're getting feedback on? I commend you for your effect, this must have taken hundreds of hours.

[lolper]

I am waiting for a proper underground patch before I continue this project. It is just too hard to create the LUL and NR lines in Central London because they are so dense, and building on one level leaves you having to demolish too much.

Thank you for positive feedback though. Will definitely get back to it.

It's a shame underground is so hard to implement, this looks amazing.

Proper underground networks sends to be something a lot of people would loved to be added.

A bit late in the day to ask. . . . . I don't suppose you have this map for download? I've been working on my own map but the spacing of areas wasn't accurate so it caused issues with the distances between nearby areas

Thanks
