Hi all,

Where can I find some electric trains for Openttd and for the artic climate with a speed between 220 km/h and 300 km/h?

Sorry for my bad English, but I'm Dutch.

if you want electric trains like in TTDP, they don't exist for OTTD, it hasn't been coded yet.

But last I heard, the articulated train support was pretty good. Not sure what the articulated climate is, though.

(Hint: Point your favourite spellchecker at "artic".)

There are electric trains in OTTD - even some of the default trains are electric.
If you are asking for electrified railways - look at TTDPatch.

Which would say "artic is a valid contraction of the word articulated, often used in reference to a lorry".

If you want to be pedantic, be helpful. Spell checkers aren't worth squat as they can't tell a correctly spelt word in the wrong location. English is complicated enough a language without native speakers berating non-native speakers.

The correct spelling of this word is "Arctic". In speech, the initial 'c' is nearly silent (usually), and so it is often mis-spelt.

My speelchuckers (all three of them) object to "artic".
I assumed that that meant it wasn't a word and was just a contraction generated on these forums.

Then why don't you use the post's context and common sense to figure out that when 'artic' is one letter away from 'arctic' and right in front of 'climate', the word is more likely to be a typo of 'Arctic' rather than a shortening of 'articulated'.

Yeah, I should have known you would check it all out. Artic is a contraction (as I said), and so does not even appear in dictionaries, let alone spell checkers.

Forums are about communication. If you can understand a word sufficiently to correct its spelling, punctuation, etc., then it has adequately communicated its meaning. Get a life man!

But I want electric rails in the artic climate, because they aren't in the arctic climate

Where can I download it

There are also lots of other graphics for download in the TTDPatch section. Not all of them work with OTTD, but it's worth trying them. And now that you know where to look, do your own graphics searching next time.

There's also a list of working GRFs here: http://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/GRF_list
