here are some of mine:

somehow the game is getting VERY slow...

Simplicity is the key.

I belive it's eyecandyness the key

I see the big rail at the top ... but imp it's way too big for not so many trains there PDsiRF

Can you explain why we should always use double tracks?

Do you always use double tracks?

EDIT: forgot to say that I liked the picture

though the question wasnt for me, but i have some comments:

Because double tracks are cool. and moreover, you can run more trains on a single line (where line means a connection between two stations), which is on one hand more capacity (just imagine you cant expand your station anymore, e.g. it has been grown around by the city), and you can make the trains arrive the stations more frequently, causing significant rising in your traffic rating.

i always use double tracks. only use single track, is when i make a line in-city, with a small (4 wagons) train+small (2 squares) station.

I actually normaly always use double track.... And If I do have single track its for a future double or triple line

I often use single tracks. In this previous post you will notice that the wood train is a single track maglev. It stops at both station then flies halfway across the map to the sawmill. There wasn't enough output to justify multiple trackas and no reason to build a trunk line.

As well there is a single track train connecting the cities.

On another note, on this game I tested the five station many servicies rule to expand cities and it works really well.

i dont completely understand, but you mean that triple-track? it isnt too big, when those damn trains burst in there, its getting quite crowded. maybe another track-design would solve this.

eyecandy isnt slowing down my game, its trains, or planes pathfinding(there isnt much more that could take so much cpu-power?), i have AMD Athlon 1800+ (1533mhz) and it should be able to run this game.. but now its unplayable.

straight and fast and making much money is not a way to long enjoy the game ... it's building the thing that you enojy .. use 2-tracks rails ... try joing rest to existing rails ... try most trains on as least rails as you can ... do not build straight ... use imagination .. curves and mountainclimbing

look at my or Rai's screenies of TTDPatch games ... how it looks like there

One of the first games I played in (after much play in TT) TTD had incredible city growth that I never replicated. Now I know it was because I was just meeting the need not playing to the algorithm.

Being uber bored I booted up OpenTTD, and did something I never have. Break out the sunglasses and the diabetic pills.

I vote in favour of banning this user from the TT-Forums and denying all further access to any (O)TTD sources.

Looking at that screenie makes me want to play toyland again, and in fact.. I'm gonna play it now
