Normal ways and higways

peste1 · Post by **peste1** » 25 Apr 2004 17:26

Hi all.
My suggestion is to add a more realistic speed limit to the normal streets (eg. 70 km/h) and improve the new feature of higways.

You can use the normal streets code but different graphic and speed limit (eg. 130 km/h).

100% agee with that, is would be cool

and for city road (owned by cities) another speed limit : 50 km/h

Agreed!

And 30kph gravel roads

If you have to send your vehicles on gravel tracks, something's wrong ...

Nothing wrong.

In 1930, there were a lot of road that wasn't covered with bitume...

Really nice idea. But then road vehicles should take the fastest route in stead of the shortest route.

Should be ok, but shortest route (as current path fiding works) should be not so much bad, I think it's not a priority.

PS: this change should be extended to railways, because when I see some rails in France used for goods transportation, it's impossible to get a train that runs at 200 km/h (20 km/h is the max acceptable for these railways

)
I'll look this evening if I find a photo I took, where we can see rails are not // at all

Yes... I agree, nice suggestions added!

Pathfinding --> short way with the higher speed

No OTTD developers opinions?

ChrisCF · Post by **ChrisCF** » 26 Apr 2004 13:22

For the pathfinding, you take into account the speed of the journey as part of its "cost". If the longer journey at higher speed has a lower cost than the shorter and slower one, use that, but if it's quicker to cut across a series of fields because the roads run all over the place ...

You did at least give them a day to respond (I've seen post-pairs like this separated by less than an hour), however, I feel it's pretty obvious that if no one has said anything, then no one has anything to say.

ObSpellChecker: ieSpell's first suggestion for "peste1" is "pester".

DaleStan is good.

peste1 · Post by **peste1** » 27 Apr 2004 18:46

Ok sorry.
I'm in the OpenTTD Suggestions Forum but I can't ask for opinions.

And the developer agrees. "I feel it's pretty obvious that if no one has said anything, then no one has anything to say".

Oh sorry, obvious. The developers ask for suggestions but "no one has anything to say". Exactly... I'm only waiting for a message: it's a good idea or it's bad?

Post a RFE on the sourceforge tracker. I don't use road vehicles much because I like covering long distances, so my opinion in this matter would be biased.

Oh? I'm a developer now? When did that happen?
There's a difference between "ask for opinions" and "bump repeatedly for no good reason". Opinions were given, and now it's time to code it or shut up, IMAO.
(Topic? What topic? ... Oh, right:)
I also avoid road vehicles, for various reasons, so I really don't care much whether this feature gets added.

You a developer? Read again please...

"Bump repeatedly"? Two message in two days? Oh my God... you are exaggerated.

MagicBuzz · Post by **MagicBuzz** » 28 Apr 2004 12:59

what's wrong with you guys ?

peste1 posted a suggestion in the suggestions forum.

then he posted the day after to put it at the top of the list to be sure being readen by developpers.

what's the problem ? is it a crime to have an idea and want feedback about it ?

and please, remember most of people who are here are like myself : it's very hard to write english, so don't read without trying to interpret a little, vocabulary and grammar are not so easy for us, we can write some stuffs that don't have the expected mean.

please, try to be nice, and more open minded. It should be better isn't it ?
