Oh yes, just like in Southern America.wallyweb wrote: My thought is for an "open" set (no relation to OTTD although it could work there too) where the player would be able to access a method to select from a large variety of engines to use in his game. ... but imagine if one could combine elements of each of those as well as from some of the national/regional sets.

E.g., mixing US and canadian stock seems to make sense from a realistic POV, OTOH, they´re using almost the same (diesel) engines, so, again, what´s the point?wallyweb wrote:My thought is for an "open" set [...]
Yes ... bug reporting would be the killer. There would in all probability be bugs and of course with equipment proven to be bug free in its original presentation, the author could not, should not and would not be responsible but some poor soul would not understand this. Unless a coder would be willing to take responsibility for maintaining a "general" set, including handling all bug reports, my suggestion must die.michael blunck wrote:I was once reported a "bug in the DB Set" which turned out to be not a bug in the DB set itself but due to the introduction of a "foreign" BR101 from a different .grf which somebody used together with the DB Set. The whole bug hunt lasted more than two weeks (on the german tt-forums) and used up a considerable amount of time on my side.wallyweb wrote:Engine/wagon compatibility would be my major concern and this might be one of the challenges to using this concept. The player would be able to make the mess of his choosing, and I imagine that some of them would be quite amusing indeed.
Well, since then Patch developers introduced that nice feature of GRM, which would handle those "inter-compatibility problems".

phpBB3 does exactly that - "Board index ‹ TTDPatch ‹ Graphics".wallyweb wrote:Point taken. Actually this could explain why there are many posts in wrong sections.
