Me and a friend just downloaded this game, i played it a long long time ago but i really cant remember much of it, now my question is : Why do i start in the year 1950 and my friend starts in 1930 .. we both have it on Easy setting, and both say "new game" with the grasslands selected.
And is there any way to start in another year than 1950 becouse that makes it a very long game

Could be the difference between TTDeluxe and TTOriginal, or a patch setting in ttdpatch.cfg, AFAIK.

Yes, and that setting in ttdpatch.cfg is : startyear 1980 or any other year between 1921 and 2030.

btw nowadays games lasts forever (at least nearly), my current game plays in 2322.

Back when i was playing it on my brothers computer with windows 3, something in DOS mode the game only went to 2050 didnt it?

Uhm where is it i do that startyear 1980 thingie .. cant find it :\

It should be in the ttdpatch.cfg file, try opening it with notepad

Is that like the Icon with $ and a uhm .. dont know how you say it in english, something you put over a wound

or the file where the guy who made the patch explains what it does?

Notepad is a text editor with comes with Windows. You could also try to use another plain-text editor. With that text editor you should open ttdpatch.cfg and search for the startyear switch.

And when starting TT, you should indeed use the "Icon with $ and a uhm .. dont know how you say it in english, something you put over a wound ".

It's called a plaster.

It's called a plaster.

Or, in America, a Band-Aid.

You should get the TTDX Configurator, it makes it much easier to set all the various parameters.

Doesn't, the comments in the ttdpatch.cfg file are fine.

It's a matter of personal preference, but it's an inalienable fact that newbies prefer the Configurator because it's easier to use. It gets rid of a lot of silly questions.
