All thats good about RT in TT! That's how I would describe Locomotion. I'm very impressed with the underground stations particularly (notice the way that the undergorund view is the same as on RT?). One (of many) other thing(s) I'm liking is the waypoints, something up to now only availiable in OpenTTD.

Overall - 10/10. Another great game from Chris Sawyer... I just hope i dont get bored with it like I did with RT

Wow the forum is buzzing tonight!

- Sorry, but you know that is why its identical.

This message was edited from a single smiley to a message, to cheer up spaceman Spiff. I also know how he hates people editing their messages after hes told them somethings wrong, so im telling you i edited it so that you dont think hes odd for posting something random, which is why I believe he hates it.

Well assuming someones read thread from the start, like they should have done, then really they should be able to understand its a quote.

Suprisingly the first page of the manual explains rct2 was built off the locomotion code and not vise versa.

It was wasn't it? The RCT code was originally going to be the TTD sequel but became RCT.

Yeah, I'm afraid it feels like it, the engine has most of the improvements, but has some glitches that were removed between RCT1 and 2 (mostly sound related).

Lots of attention to details, above and beyond the call of duty.

There is a small difference in the graphics for the switch depending on which signal is green. Simply said: The graphics actually switches when the train will go another way! Yes, it's almost unnoticable.

Sarcasm isn't wel spent on me

Assuming I'm a mod who cares for this forum I read everything , however, I don't want to search through 20 pages what someone is talking about and who he's talking to

Rule 1, don't quote the person if his post is the last of the topic
Rule 2, always use the quote button in other cases, you can edit out what you don't want in the quote

This just helps me do my work, just help a little please

It's best seen when you look at it in the game. Just watch the switch when a train comes near it...

Something good about RCT that didn't make it into Locomotion is the option to say how loaded a vehicle should be before it leaves the station.

In Locomotion you have an either/or. Either whatever is at the station (which could be nothing), or wait until the vehicle is full.

In RCT, you can specify that the vehicle should wait for a minimum of 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or full loads.

Well thats just stupid, im speaking about something in the middle of his post, which isnt a question. And since we have rules in our language, if I was to just press the reply button, people would have to assume im replying to something at the end of the post or a question the person may have asked.

And I wasn't being sarcastic.
