Same problem lol, got to 904 on perfomance history and couldn't get any higher. I got to 2050 with £1.1 billion and don't know how to improve, maybe if I upload the game you guys could *suggest* possible ways to get a higher rating?

PS: 904 on perfomance is 900 on the final screen (well, it has been for all the times (not many) I got to 2050)

Thanks

January 1st 2050 hehe

Note: I made a similar scenario to the one used in Perfect Station & Co. The main center junction is also similar, except for a few minor improvements. The only cheat I used was to upgrade my rail to monorail and monorail to maglev.

Any help is appreciated.

PS: My last name is Arran (you will see what I mean in game

)

You have 3 trains loosing money
17 and 32 load at a small farm and 84 is looping in a station
All (nearly) of your roadvehicles are loosing money, how is that possible ?
One aircraft 8 is loosing money too
Perhaps you can fix these things

It looks like a fine network you created

Am I see some altering engines ??!!

have you already taken over AI players? That boosts the score as well.

Well ehat spiff said, if you have any vehicles not makeing a 10,000 pound profit, it'll detract from the score, also, do you have 120 vehicles?

84 is fixed, i just had to skip an order

17 and 32 dont full load anymore (at least they make over 10k now)

the helicopters have been taken out, oil rigs dont produce enough passengers

what can i do to fix my road vehicles? take some out so there is more passengers/mail at each station? take them out completely and just let my trains do the work?

Yes, eliminate one bus so the other busses take on more passengers
So what's your score now ?

Straknos · Post by **Straknos** » 23 Apr 2003 23:09

Well I found a problem in Arranville, there wasnt a road connecting to one of the bus stations (Arranville Airport). So I fixed that, I will now wait a year to see if my [road] vehicles get £10k profit.

Is there any reason why my sintford coal mine trains don't earn much money?

game is here

spaceman-spiff · Post by **spaceman-spiff** » 24 Apr 2003 05:37

Yes, you have made it to 1000
I see you sold all your road vehicles !

That coalmine will close down after a while, it's just random
What I do , is load the game in the editor, destroy the mine and build a new one, I hate when you build a nice line and something decides to close

You could of course always save before the end of month, and if an industry decides to close, you can reload and do something to change the random seed.
