Smr Simple!

Hey, there are those Software Gods up at Firaxis aren't there?? What can we sacrifice to get them to make it so for us??? A Mac or two??

Sorry bout that Daryl. I use wordpad all the time and haven't touched notepad in years. Thanks for the info, I'm enjoying the time I spend tearing into this game.

I have the NewTenders and Bunit .fpk's. As I said, I can't get it to happen again. If it does, I'll screenshot it.

You're right about the raiding, but how many of us have dropped a station into an AIs city and reapped the rewards? I know I have, he makes the steel and I walk off with it! Can the yard be set so it is just outside the cityso it is yours? Of course we all run tracks into the other guys mines or fie...

Well, are you going to keep us in the dark or are you going to give us an internet address to get it from???

I have created a 'yard' of sorts using the Scenario Manager. You find an industry that will not be used and add it to the map.(US maps, use 'hospital') Then you tell it to 'input' each goods and 'output' the same goods, 1:1. If the town needs an item it will go there. It does take the normal process...

The $ I'm noting are not income-maintenence, they are the numbers that show up upon unloading, that's what doesn't make sense. Any other load, tho I haven't checked mail, gives you only what is shown in the goods list, and I'm not sure if that is from when the goods are loaded or when they are recie...

What I did was to run a single track from NY to Was with a single signal between them. Then I set up a train with 4 passengers and set to wait till full. As soon as the first train was off I created a new one exactly like the first. Then soon after the 1st train unloaded its cargo, I deleted it and...

I did a test map in the Midwest. I started just north of the Ohio river and ran a track just south of the Ohio. 1 passenger got me like $28,000 for the carload. Then I deleted that one and ran a track up to Chicago, much longer. I only got $35,000 for the carload. And goods indicater states passenge...

In showing my nephew the game I barreled thru a mountain just for the thrill of it(whoooopppiii) and there was an AI with its starting town connected to 2 grape orchards, with NO trains running! And this was 10 minutes into the game. It had its stock sitting there and enough money to buy 5 or more e...

I noticed a company buying out another when it didn't have the money to do so! I figured it had more cash on hand, so I reran the map and checked it out. Not enough cash, but he bought out the other guy anyway. I've not been bought out yet, even when one of the others have had twice what they needed...

2 minor things. I installed the new version of Scenario Manager and when I clicked on your Southwest Ontario it gave me an error. It couldn't find Smithfalls. Well, I knew it was in there cause it showed up under cities. When I searched out RRT_Scenario_MP10.xml I found the problem. In the 1881 to 1...

The cities could also be created in the Railroads Scenario Manager. That was how I put my hometown and St. Louis in the Midwest map.

More train equal more maintenance costs. A possible reason. I've seen a competitor I took over had 16 cars on one train! How can they do that if we can't??
