I think I will pass on this one. I downloaded and put it in my files. Loaded up the game,once it started to load it froze up the game. Had to do a hard shut down. The gane just wont close.

I rarely play railroads in full screen, found in version one if the game crashed sometimes it would lock me hard.

I'm getting a crash to desktop when I load the scenario.

Oh ya, just turned 1 am here right now. I was playing the map from 11:20pm to 12:50am and no crashes so far. Saved it cause I noticed a nameless city in the map and trying to find the invalid code.

I never had that luck:( I started it up and again had it freeze up my system. Had to reach behind and turn off the power supply. I think I will just by pass this one.

Need to increase the time speed. 120 is too slow, I played up to Sept 1844 without a crash, I have 55 million in cash and most things are done with loads of time left. Finished the first part of the scenario by 1843, Second part was done before the first. Third is almost done just have the steel left to take.

For me this is the longest I have ever been able to play a large map. My game crashes alot with them. No problems with the 100x100 maps, I will check out other sizes and maybe release this map in medium size as well.

Happened to me also. It also happens with the Mid East map. Both crash to desktop in about 30 minutes. Not gametime realtime.

I'm finding a lot of map mods CTD.

Thanks a lot for releasing this scenario.
Great holiday present.
Also thanks for the warnings about it possibly crashing.
I can't afford that to happen right now. But later would be okay.

I like to mention that I'm a Singleplayer user mainly.
I know it sounds strange, but I don't like to go online and battle with others.
Not with this game or any other. It's just not what I'm looking for
in a gaming experience. Frankly, I don't even like to play with an AI active.

I know we're a minority, but I also know there's others like me.
I would like to request the members of this forum to please supply us
with Singleplayer scenerios! And make em tough.

The fact that there were so few Singleplayer scenarios in the game itself
made me assume there would be a clear and simple editor available.
After reading some topics I understand that it's not all that simple to
create scenarios.

So if you are creating a map, please consider also releasing a scenario version.
Many people will enjoy it. Over and over and over.

(I played the Holiday scenerio four times by now, for example.
Randomizing different things each game).

Thanks a lot,
Greets,
Bushdoctor.

Thanks for the cool map. I played about an hour with no crashes so far. The middle east map crashes on me but I've got my fingers crossed on this one as it's fun to play a closer to home map. Anyone planning a British Columbia map? I'm not sure I have the time to make one but I may have to try if no one else beats me to it.

I will be releasing a new version with fixes in this map later.

Besides making the time faster I wrote the wrong code in for Toronto accepting goods so it is unbeatable right now.

I am going to attach my save game, I have a single loop track going from the top right (Smithfalls) to the bottom Middle (Cleveland) with 8 trains running the route with no problems. I set it in a way so they loop in one direction only. I save my game every 10 mins or so with the F9 key (quick save) so I don't lose a lot of work.

On a side note when I make a map I always have single and multiplayer in mind. Cause I enjoy scenarios as much as online play with my friends. Single player is how I and my friends test the map.
