WELCOME!
To the "USA-Canada 4K Scenario" thread!

(Files posted at the end of this FIRST POST as well as online via BaNaNaS!)



Aside from some time off binge drinking and dealing with anxiety, I've been working almost non-stop on this scenario for the last 2-3 months (End of July 2018 to Sept 19, 2018)

This is a 4K (4096x4096 size) scenario based on the original USA Scenario made by myfineshrine back in 2009, so almost 10 years later we have a almost faithful 4K recreation.

Some things may be off either by accident or because I tried to place things more accurately based on their real life positions.

For now I'm releasing a Vanilla/OpenGFX Industry version of the scenario, though I do plan to make a FIRS and maybe ECS version in the future, though after 2 months of constant work
I just want to get around to playing the game again

I hope everyone enjoys it, as I put a lot of work into this!

This post will contain the Town only release (which may need some tweaks) and the Vanilla Industry Versions for now. All versions use only NewGRF's available from the Content Downloader/BaNaNaS

PS: FOR THE TOWN ONLY VERSION, you will need to enable the developer options such as scenario_developer and newgrf_developer options in your openttd.cfg to enable modifying the NewGRF's and Scenario options.

SCREEN SHOTS!

Washington D.C, The Capital of The United States of America



Ottawa, The Capital of the Dominion of Canada



Toronto, Ontario



New York City, NY



Montreal, Quebec



The Twin Cities, St. Paul and Mineapolis



Seattle and Puget Sound area



Denver, Colorado

In a word?

WHOA!!

Well done.

Five bows ...

Magestic and Magnificent

Just... amazing!

Thanks for the feed back guys!

I'd also like to see people playing this through screen shots, I'd imagine the larger map will allow for more complex and interesting setups.

ALso I'd suggest playing this with JGR Patch pack or another patch that has a day length patch since some area's will be very spread out now, which at times could take up to a year to traverse in vanilla OpenTTD

Sounds like Via Rail crossing Canada on a good day.

We have to update Canadian Set and USSet one day to use those new fancy features

But I just got a new map to play with, well done!

And I would like to add: adjust the town's growth to slow, or use a city growth GS. That is, if you want to bring a bit more of reality to the scenario.

Congratulations, major achievement to create such as large map. Very Awesome to have a large North America map, i've never played much of the others as they all felt quite cramped for such a massive continent.

Weird the released same day as I put my 4K New Zealand Scenario on bananas. Hopefully we are setting a trend for awesome new 4k scenarios

This has been fun playing. Am I able to add a set/ load Mag trains or something to this so that I can get 400+mph back instead of the same trains? Sorry I don't know how all these work.

I've updated the Scenario to v1.01 for the Vanilla Industry version, I fixed a couple of town names, for example, Montreal for some reason was Monreal, QC and apparently Cleveland was in a piece of Pennsylvania that sat in Ohio

ITs not a major update so you can still continue playing with your v1.00 scenario and you can just fix the names for Montreal, Cleveland, and White River Junction.

Yes you could enable Maglev, what you'd have to do though is change the High Speed Narrow Gauge/Monolevel parameter in my NOrth american track set to enable the Monolev rail and if you still want to use narrow gauge trains, just set low speed narrow gauge to something like 128 km/h as no Narrow gauge trains/locomotives in North America run faster then 120 km/h

Sorry for the triple post, I should have probably put my previous posts together in one single post though at least this post will help to show theres a new unread post.

There is now an ECS Industries version available on the first post for download!

I will be uploading the ECS industries version of the USA-Canada 4K scenario to BaNaNaS shortly so people can download the scenario from the content downloader

Sorry to necro, but my searching (both on-forum and on Google) has been fruitless. I've been trying to use these scenarios (as both pulled off the forum attachments here and out of the GRF browser in OTTD), but every single one I've fired up has had nothing to it's heightmap. That is to say that the map would load completely flat and entirely covered in water. The only things that would load were the signs welcoming me to the scenario and providing thanks to the old America heightmap. Any recommendations? Things I should do to attempt to fix? Should I give up hope and find some other scenario to try?

Have you tried using the zoom in/out buttons on the map ?

The map is so huge that you have to zoom out or move around some to see the land

Like the person who made the original USA scenario, I decided to put my credits and stuff in the very bottom corner of the map which is way out in the Atlantic ocean.

How did you change industry NewGRF? Or did you place every town 4 times?

I made a town only version and no industry GRF's that I used for making the industry versions. While it's not the best idea to change GRF's after a scenario has been made, so far it doesnt seem to have caused any problems for me.
This is part of the reason why I try to make a town only version of scenarios now (though so far the USA 4K scenario is the only one that I've released with a Town only, Vanilla INdustry, ECS and NAIS versions)

Oh, I understand. I was hoping for some quick method for placing towns:)
