I have ttd + patch but i can't seem to get dash deisels or manley more deisels back to back or engines at the front and back gimme some help LOL

and i was playing the game a while ago the same train took out 2 or 3 rival busses LOL

You begin at year 1950 if you play with the default setting. As you play more desings will become available. I think there is some randomness in all this but you will always get the new desings sooner or later.

It is usually always worth using the new desings especially with trains. They start at low % reliability but that increase with time when they are first created. This mean that if you get a new very powerfull train (in term of HP) but with around 50-60% reliability and you purchase a lot of them (and reduce the time for maintenance so they don't break so often) you can end up upping their % back up to the 90% and sometime more.

Since you get more money if you bring the good faster to the end of the line, this end up with profits in the long run. Plus the old models end up losing % realibility after a while so you should always consider trying new models to see if they increase or else your lines will be so bugged down with broken down trains that they will become less and less profitable until it's not worth it anymore.

For the trains hitting busses, that's not a bug and you can use this to your advantage. If you want to prevent this happening to your own vehicles tough be sure to create bridges above or tunnels under the tracks (for either the train or the road, doesn't matter as long as they don't both connect) or you can be sure it will happen sooner or later. When one of your vehicle crash (any kind) the % efficiency of the stations will drop to near 0 so you should always try to avoid that too. And try to hit other players road vehicles too. ;)

it was always a 'dash' deisel that hit them might have been the same one dunno but i had 4 of them on 2 tracks 2 with mail cars 2 just solo

Double post because i found out how to have back to back trains and engines at the front and back!!!

please help me, im running winxp pro, and the other pc is running win98, we are unable to get network to work, it just minimises the window and stops responding after we join the game??? please help.. really wanna play this game again

you trying single player or 2 player?

Hello evreyone
I think I know much about TTD and I am supporting and helping with TTD at few forums.
I'd like you all to help to.
In my opinion TTD+TTDPatch is much more better than OTTD in the moment and it's not going to change soon for me so ... TTDPatch Rulez :ok:

anyway

if you would like visit http://www.tt-forums.net , the best source of knowledge about TT stuff (you can easly contact me there via Private Message)

I would like you to point to this release of TTDPatch: http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/latestw.zip (it's alpha developing version, but it has better default switches/settings) also visit http://wiki.ttdpatch.net to get all detailed information about TTDPatch
