Indeed its not possible... this is however a VERY SHAME !!.

A major rewrite of the graphics engine would be needed, I think. I doubt it would be possible in this lifetime... :( Could be something for TT2 though - after all, RCT has a rotate feature.

We can look however we want, that's an impossible feature to add

Definitely for TT2, if it is impossible to make bigger docks for the ships, then this is surely impossible
Well, back to work, lot's of it in the near future

No it isn't sorry. It's bloody annoying too when theres a building in the way and you try to build your track and the train goes behind the building one end but doesn't come out the other.
Thanks,

i once forgot a cornertrack , it lay just behind a factory
it took me awhile before i saw that, by then my ratings dropped to appaling because my trains couldn't pass

Actually... I hope not to be honest.. cause with most games the second version is so bad .. you start hating the first version too...
They should just take TTD 1 and make a few ajustments like the rotating function.. Maybe fix a few bugs and implement the newest patch...
Also a few new climates and other factories and trains should do the trick..

Rewrite the entire game won't satisfy me I guess (offfffcouuse I CAN be wrong... we'll just see.) :mrgreen:

Just because he'd never noticed the feature doesn't mean you have to bite his head off spaceman!
