motorways

[mira666]

hi all

have downloaded the UK roadset and the one way arrows GRF however can someone explain how to set up motorways on the system, am using openTTD 0.5.3 if thats any help?

One way roads (and that's what you make "motorways" of) weren't in version 0.5.3 - try 0.6 beta 3 or a nightly build, there they can be built (there's a new button on the road building window).

edit: actually this isn'a a matter of .grfs - you can build one way roads without the .grfs you mentioned. But only in a recent version like I said above.

thank you, i'll give that a try

And to keep it authentic, using the grassy knoll patch stops towns building along your motorways while keeping it looking good.

Takes a while though as you can't drag while buying land

Hey Gord ...!
I see you are formerly of Lowestoft, Suffolk.
I am formerly of Gorleston-on-sea ... gee, it's a very small world really isn't it!

Anyway mira666, there is a thread with quite a few tips and hints about building motorway systems here, it also includes plenty of screenies that will perhaps inspire you in your spaghetti endeavours ...

Good Luck, hope this helps!
