Disable monorail and Maglev feature
For the sake of realism, I think some people would appreciate disabling the monorail and the maglev considering how unrealistic they are and keeping running trains as a challenge.
Re: Disable monorail and Maglev feature
I agree for the monorail feature.
But the maglev feature isn't unrealistic.

And it looks good with the DB Trainset...

Re: Disable monorail and Maglev feature
The US Train Set only has normal and electric trains (no monorail/maglev), and is by far my favorite set. There are also a couple of others that disable monorail/maglev for all cargo except passengers/mail, which is pretty realistic.

Re: Disable monorail and Maglev feature
Well in all honesty, monorails are totally impractical and they will continue to be for ages. Maglevs as of now are impractical but they have a chance of becoming practical. So for all intensive purposes, they're unrealistic. I know most people would prefer having them but I can imagine that quite a few would prefer that they not be there. That's why I am suggesting a toggling feature.

How hard can it be? That doesn't even make sense!

To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

Re: Disable monorail and Maglev feature
The toggle is already there. Just dont build any, or load a newgrf that doesnt have any, or create a new newgrf to disable all the maglev/monorail sets.trainmaster611 wrote:That's why I am suggesting a toggling feature.

Re: Disable monorail and Maglev feature
Yes.. No one orders you to build them. And those who will build them are luckyier than TTDP guys, who have to replace one or another, if they want electric rails.. SImlary you can load e.g narrow gauge grf.

Re: Disable monorail and Maglev feature
The monorail should be changed to some kind of city train that runs over the road.
Re: Disable monorail and Maglev feature
Why don't you get on that, then?

Re: Disable monorail and Maglev feature
What's the point in disabling a feature? No single one is urged to use any kind of transportation the game offers... Iguess there are zillions of people who like it - why deprive them of their fun when you are not limited whatsoever by it?trainmaster611 wrote:For the sake of realism, I think some people would appreciate disabling the monorail and the maglev considering how unrealistic they are and keeping running trains as a challenge.
If you disagree with the effectiveness of the transportation types, then make newgrfs that reflect the respective effectiveness as you think it proper.

Re: Disable monorail and Maglev feature
There are plenty of reasons for (allowing) disabling (of) a given feature. This one, however, doesn't change game behavior, it simply adds features, which can be disabled just by not using it, so a toggle isn't neededWhat's the point in disabling a feature?

Re: Disable monorail and Maglev feature
I'm sorry to bring this up, but I agree with the starter of this topic and would like to know whether there's a way now to turn off monorail and maglev.
Simply "not using them" doesn't help the fact that your opponents will use them and there's the main reason to have a toggle button somewhere. Does anyone know of a way to disable them?

Re: Disable monorail and Maglev feature
Use a NewGRF that disables/does not include them.
Re: Disable monorail and Maglev feature
I also wanted this feature, so I've made two NewGRFs that does this:
They're available to download ingame, and you can also see the source code should you want to. Note that this only disables from the default set - custom GRFs providing monorail/maglev will not be removed.

This is very handy.

Anyway, I don't like playing in future. I would like to stop the time and technology
Steam locomotives have some sort of charm. I hope you know what I mean.
If Chris Sawyer would never play a Railroad Tycoon from 1990/1993 then probably he would never have created Transport Tycoon.
