I'm a bit new to this type so let's say i want to play it do i download it and unzip it to a certain file?

Oh and geographically Beachy head needs to be pointier and Cornwall and Devon need to arch more southwards :pedant:

Its my screenshot program...I didnt know Loco had one built in..the program is specially designed for taking high quality picture of Microsoft Flight Simulator. And apparently it is intended just for that!

Nice dude ;)

I played my scenario too, but just for fun, not for the goal ;)

I've tried to build the Channel tunnel but Paris never growed up :(
Here are some Screenshots:
London that growed so well

My tunnel ... Look at those stupid "challengers" with their bridges!

Paris not growing at all :(

REnnes ... I was building near London then went around to find another good spot and I saw that ! Rennes growed so much in a year !!

Little Nantes

London station (Atlantic TGV instead of Eurostar :roll: :oops: :lol:)

Hey I think this is will be the first scenario that I download! Two things: First, what vehicles do I need? I think in one of your pictures I can see a TGV, but a downloaded one and the other thing is I think Paris would grow better if you would not build that much around it. The picture shows that you have build everywhere there and they cannot grow to the other side because the Seine is too wide. Just a speculation.

Yeah I know, and Versailles is too close !
You dont need any vehicles, I added mine after so Everyone can play this scenario without any adds !

Paris will grow. I suggest raising the river bed so it becomes land. Then add roads making city blocks are no more than 3x3 in size.

A city can only build next to a road..not next to a brick slope nor any kind of bridge. If your roads have to slope then build them directly onto sloping land...not bridge/brick slopes.

There is an earlier Channel scenario. It has a very different feel to it with industrial objectives rather than passengers. So if you like the theme you might also want to try out the older version. Enjoy.
