Re: Pretty Routing Pictures

I understand what your getting at Darthroid, I have been monkeying around mostly with custom maps in single player but I can sure understand how you can come from behind and win if you play right.

Re: 2 industrys using same import good?

what do you mean darthroid by 8 cars turning around quicker? If i put 8 cars on a pasenger train and say 5 fill up it would cut the speed drasticaly, does a slow train with more full cars produce more revenue then a faster train with less cars? Or were you talking about freight trains only?

Re: Pretty Routing Pictures

Re: Wisconsin V 1.0

Hi guys, I like the map very much but it crashes on me a little while after the ten-wheeler comes out and before the consolidation... I can load from my last autosave but it will eventually crash again, I installed the file just yesterday from the setup_wisconsin_1.0.zip file on the second page of t...

Re: 2 industrys using same import good?

I gotta agree with Darthroid, if you can't fill the cars with ppl or the mine can't load the cars that a mogul can pull at speed your better off with the more cost efficent engine. atleast untill the tons hauled warrant more Hp.

Re: speed vs load

just more or less asking,, but if there is only say 2 carloads of passengers at each stop why would anyone run an 8 car train? do empty cars create a demand for passengers?? certainly a real railroad wouldn't do that. If I have say 4 passenger cars on a train and after the first couple trips i notic...

Re: Power plant and Steel in the same city
