[OTTD] Another large train network

A farily large train network built up by 4-way or 8-way tracks and a few principles to even out the load.

Passanger trains enters on either track 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 and leave at all tracks (depending on the station they are going to)

Industry trains enters on either one of the middle tracks and in that case leaves at one of the outer tracks. (or the opposite way)

Stations that receive industry trains are connected to all tracks (both incomming and outgoing)

Of coruse this are not followed strictly everywhere but at least that's the idea.

Apparently it isn't to common here to upload this large savegames since I blow the limit of 4 mb per file and therefor had to put the savegame on another external server.

Thanks for the comments.

The game was started for about a year ago and have been played sometimes more and sometimes less since then.

You may have a decent computer if you where going to try out the savegame.

My not that new C2D E6600 processor are really struggling to turn this game around.

Bwong, the reason why everything looks so 'square' is because there is plenty of 2X45 degree corners everywhere.

If you have very limited space or trying to conserve space anyway you can like what nuff did here, it's perfectly logical to use such corners.

Anyway, judging by the screenshots, it looks like a nice network, I'll try the savegame later :p .

Quick questions,

-How long have you been working on this (In Earth years not OTTD years)?
-Have you had help (If not I know a good few doctors numbers)?

Thanks for the new screenshots. There look great, keep it up?

When looking at the time modification stamps, the first savegame where created Sep 18 2009 so it's nearly a year.

I've played the game without no help at all.

I usually use OTTD to kill time on the 1 hour train journey (one way) to work everyday.

You might want to send the author a PM or [url=mailto://ventilen@langanget.mine.nu]an e-mail[/url] to see if they still have it. No guarantee you'll get a response since the author hasn't been here in a year now, and the first post is nearly three years ago.
