Why only greyscale WAS, Wasila? Surely you can make thing a bit more colourful

I could - but then they'd get lost next time I autoreplace . As of yet no autorefit feature (maybe that's a good idea).

Easy way around - turn on the "vehicles never expire" option

autoreplace, not autoservice. I fully intend to upgrade my planes next time a bigger one comes out .

Some random shots..

Are you using my old patch (or some derivate of it) for this? Or something completely different?

Are the screenshots accessible somewhere? Do you plan to make a timelapse movie of some sorts out of it?

And last but not least: Wow, is this a new type of track/junction type inventioned by you openttdcoop guys? The invisible main line?

edit: Last time I looked, it was blank! I see, it's updating automatically

It is nothing special yet, just screen of the last action someone made on the map and I (We) have also no further plans with it yet.

The patches for OpenTTD and Autopilot are here:

P.S., indeed, the image is directly linked to the webcam, so it changes from time to time

Is there a place to get the patch to enable the magic bulldozer switch with rcon?

As already told on IRC, the patches of our servers are mostly made by SmatZ, please ask him about those. I do not like to publish those as it might need some explanations...

Some random screenshot showing the OpenGFX-set in action!

Some pics from my latest game on an England & Wales map (http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=47054).

British Transport was founded in 1930 and has already had a profound effect on the south-east of England. London South-West, the hub of the network, has 12 trains and 30 road vehicles, with a number of high-capacity metro lines to the city centre on top of services to Reading, Luton and, as of this year, Crawley.

Currently debating whether this is worth a topic of its own. Thoughts?

First pic is of this new hub. Second is of the newly-connected Crawley station, with a shiny new train pulling into it.

Some pics of my current game

I always love shots of developing stations, so here it is:

Sonwood 1945. The station is the terminus of two major lines, but as not much development has taken place anywhere, two platforms suffice. I like the quiet rural looks of the town.
Over the next sixty years, the network saw major changes. New lines were added, making Sonwood a major hub (though in many ways, it is still the quiet town it always was). Several platforms were added, a freight station was added outside the town to supply it with gold, food and goods through lorries the junction leading up to the station saw major redevelopments, but jams still occur, occasionally backing up until the main line.
This situation was unsustainable, as the increased passenger numbers required more capacity. However, space was getting scarce so was presented with a bit of a problem. Because I'm only allowed three pics, I'll put the solution, along with a map in a separate post.

Because of the space constraints, I decided to upgrade flow, rather than capacity. One half of the station is now a through station, connected to a new tunnel (right under the bank's vaults!). This meant I had to reroute most of the trains, because they could no longer use this station as a terminus. I allowed greater capacity on the passenger lines (due to less delays), with fewer platforms. One has been demolished, and one sits unused right in the middle of the station, awaiting further developments.
Here's the map showing how the new tunnels hooks up to mainline (crossing the lake near Narningpool Falls along the way). It also shows what a mess the nearby junction had become.

Sea Town

I like this town, at a river mouth and with a neat station, which is a through station for intercities. The fut. station signs obviously indicate further developments being planned.

A fairly large game. 1024x1024 map with 2750 trains, 1212 buses, 305 planes and 739 ships.

The goal have simply been to have everything transported and a transportation rate above 70% of all industries.

no cheats what so ever have been used.

Here is a screencap from a game where I am concentrating on air services. This shot shows some of the variety of planes I have. I might run it for a bit and take a pic of my busiest hub.

And here is a photo of my busiest airport. Funnily enough, even here it doesn't look too bad. I had forgotten I had already worked on replacing planes to make the airport less of a choke point.
