funny i have never noticed this scenerio before, it looks like i would have fun on it. looks like a nice map for me to test some new US stuff on :D most of the liveries mentioned are schedualed for release soon(ish). hrmm i bet my DTI loco would be at home here....

Edit: ok i crashed writing a review, so now you get my Cheap @$$ review instead, After playing for a bit i think this map would be pretty easy to beat, not sure yet.

DAMN.. this map is f-l-a-t., .. i do like how you placed the roads already, i actually expected to see a 4 lane expressway running through part of the map.,and dirt roads to the farms. i like how you layed out the bigger towns. it might have been nice to see some more smaller houses or parks, theaters,etc in the empty holes in the towns. i also like the power lines :P. i have been asking steve-o to do that for a while now. there is deffinatly plenty of industries to play with and you can even run passenger service if you prefer.

i am deffinatly pushing Lomos signaling/routing scripts buy running branchlines all over that connect to mainlines and split back off. i have intentionally created a traffic jam on my mainlines. to bad you cant shunt or do drop offs and pick ups in lomo, hrmm... can you import this map into MSTS? :D this map would deffinatly be at home there.

anyways i am having fun. i am running the US&Amtrak sets with the beta of add on pack 2 on it ATM. i would not mind seeing the upgraded map at all.

Great job. I read about it in Virtual Railroader: November edition. I actually have two games: one with interurban equipment in the 1930s and one with Plastikman's equipment.

Treesloth,

a few things,

1) this map is actially not affiliated with the Automod, this is the base map i sort of ~cough~ stole,
2) The Vehicals wont show they can carry new items untill the industries are placed on the map (in the map editor), if you hare using the automod map, they should show up right away.
3) read the automod read me it has a lot of detail about how to use it. (and technical stuff)
4) i think i only released the BN hoppers and the DTI hopper to carry plastic. look for those.
5) did you change the year on the map? as i recall the mod only work 1970ish and up (see read me for exact years)
6) make sure you have the latest automod version... check the offical download on ami.
7) there is a new version of the automod beta map in the 2.1 update pack (automod not included you will still have to install it.)
8) you do have the automod installed and not just the map? (silly question i know)
9) if you still cant get it to work, head over to the automod support thread http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=25003 and we can continue to figgure out why it wont work. i'll do what i can to help.. i am in tonight playing it myself, testing the next version.
