maglevs are faster than aircrafts?

Post by mawot »

Does anyone know that maglev trains are faster than aircrafts, even the supersonics? I've tried this and Chimaera (speed 400mph) is a lot faster than Dinger 1000 (speed 1448 mph)! :?: :roll:

Yeah, I knew that.

And I find it VERY irritating.

Yeah... and a 100mph train can overtake a 296mph aircraft. I wonder if it's possible to fix?

It might be annoying but aircraft have nothing in there way like trains do. They need no track or anything. There much easier to build. In most of my games by the end aircrafts make more than trains anyway!

Like I said in another topic, Trains give me something else to do.
Eg) Building a complex, working rail system.
