SwissFan91's European Screenshots

[SwissFan91]

A lot of stations really close to being screenshot-worthy! Here's Stafford:

and an update on the map. Feel free to request an area - it'll make me finish it!

I'd be rather interested in seeing the Birmingham area, looks (mostly) finished from the map that you showed, and I know that area is absolute hell with track in places.

Coming up!

Birmingham New Street. Not 100% finished but fairly close. Working out all the platform allocations was a nightmare! Couldn't get quite as detailed on the shopping areas as I would have liked but managed to capture the general idea - including the full tramway to Wolverhampton.

A train from Edinburgh leaves for London, a CrossCountry service approaches before reversing to Bristol Temple Meads and a Turbostar departs for Rugeley Trent Valley. Somehow managed to catch this without a Cross City service in the picture even though they are plentiful!

Moor Street - not quite finished in terms of trains or surrounding area.

Snow Hill - much the same as Moor Street. Another glimpse of the West Midlands Metro to Wolverhampton.

I'm back playing OTTD because, you know, there's not much else to do!

I've started a map of South West UK - where I used to live.

Progress is slow but I have mapped out the location of quite a few more towns with signs. If you want to see anywhere let me know!

Again?! Looks like a good start, and I look forward to seeing the progression.

I've had 4k x 4k maps of the Thames area and the Midlands area but I wanted to start a new one to use RoadTypes and more of the latest NewGRFs. Typically I play each map on and off for around 2 years before I get bored/enough new content has come out to make a new map appealing.

On another note, some of these Welsh routes seem a scheduling nightmare. In my little to no knowledge of these types of thing, why Fishguard Harbour to Man Pic?! Also Maesteg to Cheltenham Spa! Going to crush some of my routes thanks to my lack of timetabling.

I know it’s 18 months late but I’ve parked my motor on that car park below the railway on the left! My mate had his nicked off that car park! But your depiction has something the original doesn’t! Lines! And tarmac!

Haha that's awesome.

I don't normally like posting screenshots of areas until they are "finished". However, here's the track in two of the more complicated areas, Bristol and Cardiff:

I have picked up this game again and I have embarked on perhaps my most ridiculous project to date:

Switzerland and Italy Heightmap
8k x 8k map
JGR Patchpack
More GRFs than my game can handle

It's a battle to see if I can finish the map before my old laptop overheats. Here are some screenshots of progress so far - I thought I took 800x600 screenshots to display in-line but apparently it look 1366x768 anyway. No eyecandy has really been placed so it's more of a route map with trains at the moment.

The further north I have laid tracks is Basel, and south is Lugano.

Some areas are taking shape better than others. The mountains and valleys help with town placement while the lowland areas are proving more challenging. I didn't spend the time figuring out the 'new' town autoplacement feature but perhaps I should have...
