I was planning on continuing off from my decade next week, but if somebody else has taken over, then that's fine. Enjoy the game, I'll be most interested to see what people do with it. :)

Judging by screenshots Lloyd has done some of the things that I was planning, ie, rebuilding the approaches to Raichase City/Moskau. You can tell he's an american with all those straight lines across the place. :P

Heh, you have to come visit Australia, I'll show you the 4-track mainline out to Maitland - pretty much one long, straight line.

Just checking, Lloyd Wolf, but did you use the standard configuration file posted on page 2 or 3 (around there, anyway)?

Assuming it's this quoted one, yes - I directly copied and pasted the listing (using my own values for the optional settings) to a new cfg and did the same for the newgrf cfg.

HOWEVER, I did do the following:

1. Toggle fifo off and on when certain stations bugged out on me.
2. New default service interval was not specified to be on or off, so I turned it on to its maximum value (reasoning that I could do this manually, but it'd just be a pain - many of the original trainsets have had their intervals manually doubled and quadrupled), as trains were getting lost trying to reach remote depots and I did not want to build force-service sidings.
3. When I made the two above edits, I made them through TTDXC.

My section of the game is complete. I've had fun making changes and if you are wondering what happened the last 2 years, there have been a lot of new trains and changes to track work to improve efficiency. The Class 91 has been rolled out on services from Raichase/Moskau and the Class 92 has been employed on some of the busier freight routes and the class 66 purchased for wood and coal lines. As you can see from the screenshots I've rebuilt Raichase City and Moskau aswell as Pikka City stations.

Have fun roboboy! :)

My post was in a friendly evil sense, most of you guys wont understand it. It was getting at the fact that Pookey and I go to school together and are good friends.

I was about to say that I would be the fifth pestering you about your maths homework. :mrgreen:



...

Heck! Robotboy! Do your maths homework! :x
:P

Anyway, I like all these screenies, it really shows different styles of playing the game. :) Interesting!
