Before we have road trains, it would be nice if OTTD had realistic physics for road vehicles...

I guess you're after something more like this?

@Pikka, completely agree. How is your C++?

Oh, oh, oh! I'm trying to learn C++ now, just looking for a good book!
I were at the library yesterday, but I only found a book from 1998..

old != bad.

Especially to learn programming, the fact that book is old doesn't matter much.

Well, it was about a special type of C++, too. I don't remember the name, but it started with "B".

Edit: And the examples were shown in MS-DOS.

Never ever leave console before you get a good grap of the language. Everything else just confuses you. And may I ask what changed in world of C++ since 1998?

(yeah, the only thing coming into my mind is C++.net, but it mix with OTTD).

It is the same as 11 years ago..?

[CommanderZ]

There were one or two slight updates of standards, but nothing significant. Nothing concerning newbies.

EDI: C itself was invented more than 35 years ago

[Benny]

Well, at least I need to find a book that does use examples in MS-DOS..

[dinkiy]

where does the diffirent roads come from

[W_neun]

The roads in andythenorth's screenshot? Those are from the North American Roads Set.

My guess is "Borland C++". I have that book, it uses a lot of borland-specific C++ extensions, I wouldn't recommend it.

[Benny]

Yes, it was Borland C++.

I'd recommend this tutorial here: http://www.relisoft.com/book/web_preface.html
It doesn't see OOP as an additional feature, like many other tutorials i've seen, but uses it right away...
