Hi everyone, I'm kinda new to the forums but I've been playing OpenTTD for a few years now.
After quite some time playing vanilla OTTD, I discovered the joy of NewGRFs and, since then, my goal when playing was almost always to make the most beautiful cities and stations, and today I present you some of my finest screenshots. Enjoy!
This is Montreal Central, my first station with the dutch set. I'm quite proud of how it came out!

This is Berlin, my first city go get to 50k population. This was before I learned Total Town Replacement Set had an "all eras" setting, but it still looks great.

Thanks guys. You're both the inspiration that got me into making more elaborated, eye-candy stations. Are you participating in this month's SOTM?
Anyways, here's some more screenshots.

- The Costco Distribution Center of St. Tropez is really busy most of the year, as there is no snow on this part of the globe!

- The stockyard industry is deep in the woods of Boucherville. Workers go in and out and makes this station a beautiful symbol of knowledge, dedication and hard work. I'm quite proud of it.

I'm starting a new game as a company called QTS (Quebec Transport Services). Here are some of the best-looking spots so far.
- The Montréal vieux-port, the center of most industrial activity in the city. Ships come and go to deliver supplies from overseas while trains transport goods to houses, shops and nearby industries.

- Downtown Montreal. Here you can see the skyscrapers reaching for the skies, the luxurious Reine-Élizabeth hotel, the tram (streetcar) system and the QTS headquarters next to the church.

By the way, does anyone know where I can find the rest of VAST stations/objects?

VAST Stations 0.2.0
VAST+ Fences 0.2.0
VAST Objects 0.3.0
VAST Infrastructure is incomplete and only has a foundation, not worth it yet IMO

I can't find 0.3.0 in the online content like the thread suggests, but oh well. I'll just keep VAST stations and objects 0.2.0, I'm fine with it.

VAST+ Fences 0.2.0
VAST Objects 0.3.0

Thanks a lot, you're awesome!
edit: I installed vast objects 0.3.0 and it doesn't appear in neither objects or station tiles... hm. is it because I'm using an outdated version of openttd (1.2.3) ?

You'll need either OpenTTD 1.4.0 (currently in release candidate) or a build based on r25230.

Nice shots, especially the freight stations
...the TTRS skyscrapers really bug me lately though. Yay for small villages with a 50-floor office building in the center ^^

Yes, the good screenshots
. Looks strange, when in the middle of a small city stands tall office building.

Yeah I don't like that about TTRS either, but I don't know of a solution.

What I usually do is bulldoze the skyscraper and hope it's replaced with something a little more... realistic
but yeah it can be quite annoying, like those really big buildings in a agricultural town

I typically play with multiple town sets. Adding in UK Towns or Polish Building Set helps a lot.
