I will haave a look at it. the problem is that normally the pictures are deleted after some time, thats why they aren´t available anymore. But ths should be on my homepc, so i will upload them today
here you will see some of my solutions for the Isle of May. At the beginning I concentrated my afford on the transportation of mail and p****engers. I used highspeed rails and catenary. Each Island got it's own network with one train per City. The inner Isle network are connected by planes to each other. All Islands have got a central Hub Station. See pictures below
At this time I am using SBB RE 460 with 7 Cannonball P****enger Coaches and 2 Cannonball Mailwagons.
For the inter Island transport I use 747 for p****engers and mail.
In this picture you can see that my company was profitable since June 1990.
Between June and July 1991 all trains were replaced by Haru ACE.
The next plan is to connect all the industries with eachother. Atm I am in the year 1993. Profit in 1992 was 6.624 mio. If somebody is interested in the sve I will upload it.
it would be nice if youz could reupload your save, because they were deleted on the server. To keep them for a longer on the server it is possible to login with your forum nick and pw. If you dont do that they will be deleted after one day. I would to play your map.
one thing that I've recognized while testing the new ways is, that the weight limit for tracks of 25t in 1830 might be a bit to low. I've started to transport meat via train and with only 9t load, it's not possible to make enough revenue to finace the maintenance cost of the tracks. I used 5 trains to transport the meat with a circle line. I my opinion something between 30 and 40t might be better.
I´ve tested pak 128.Britain-Ex 0.3 and I have got a problem with train- and roadtunnels. They all have got weight limit of 0t, so no vehicle can p**** them. Every time I get "Can´t find route". I think that the weight limit should be set higher.
I am testing pak.german 0.103. 2 things that I have seen during the time are: 1. Not all Buildings of the Bauernhof are displayed, some are displayed as "contruction yard". Look at screenshot
2. The Tram "Lowa Triebwagen" can not be combined with it´s Trailer.
Thats all for the moment. You did a great job, I like this pak very much
Which trainstation did you use, you have to use stations that accept p****engers. When you open the train toolbar, you can see what the different station types accept in the upper right corner of every station Icon.
at the beginning of this map I sold every vehicle. And the I build a bridge between the Islands.
Than I made one line connecting all stops. That gives you the possibility to earn money very early. As you can see 1933 already a small profit. In the meanwile I am in the year 1944 with a profit of 6-7k per month.
I dont mean the stops at Ingolstadt. I really meant the factories ( Garbage Dump and the Incinerator) which are not linked with each other, so there is no possibillity to transport Garbage, although if you set up a route.
I have started the game without any garbage. I am now in the year 1934, and still have got 8,7k left. Atm my mounthly lose is arround 350. I think that it is possible to a short profit, if the cities continue to grow. I know that it is possible to generate a profit. By the end of the year 1934 my company began to generate a small profit. I will upload a savegame as soon as I am back at my home pc. Here a screenshot.
I´ve also had a look at Challenge. It would be good if the Garbage Dump and the Incanerator would be connected to each other. So that there is the possibility to transport Garbage. Or is it allowed to change to public player and connect them???
i will have a look at my savegames for each year. Might take a few minutes. :-) I have just completed the year 1967, population 74.461, net wealth 16,885mio.
Between 1940 and 1941 I made an operating profit of 446.070. Most of the profit I invested in new Vehicles. In 1941 I made an op of 604.081, which also was invested in new vehicles. So you can see it was my good operating Profit that rose my net wealth. In 1942 my profit was 743.213. Mos of it was invested to establish my garbage Trains between the three Dump and the incenator. In 1943 I made a profit of 825.409. I used all of this to get most of the other factories to work, therefore I had to build many new tracks so not everything of the profit could raise my netwealth. 1944 saw a profit of 805.485. During this year I completed my goods network. And connected some Factories to my power network.
In the nightly PAK 128-648 several busses are missing. I have looked through the complete PAK files and compared them to the last nightly (610) and found busses that are missing:
gasoline and chemicals are not needed for the shoppingmall, you only need the plastic the refinery produces for the goods factory. There is no need for a demand of all products that a factory produces.
use the tunnel icon and press ctrl ( on german Keyboards it is Strg) while clicking on the tracktile where the tunnel should start, this will give you just an tunnel entrance. Now you change to underground mode with clicking shift+u. With clicking on the tunnel icon and then clicking on thwe track after the tunnelentrance you can build underground rails and stations. So you have got a metro.
Yes, I played the 15 years without using fast forward. Although if this means that you have to wait sometime before you have got enough money to get next planned things going.
At the beginning I use the Rvg-KS 33 and Rvg-KS 45, and if needed the Rvg-KS 45 get the p****anger trailer. I start mail transport not before 1950. In this year the combined P****anger and mail Stop can be build.
at the beginning of my game I only concentrate on developing the p****anger service, to get enough money for the industry chains. In this game I began to connect the factories at the end of the year 1942 and finished the work by the middle of 1944.
I althogh devided the country into three parts. The first are the 4 cities in the north which are covered by two stops and each got one line connecting to the regional HUB near Egersund
The second part is Stavanger and Bryne. Stavanger got a local bus line. Bryne was connected by a seperate line to the HUB at Stavanger.
The third part is the region around Haugesund and Sandnes. Both cities got an local Busline and are connected by a circle trainline that is connected to all factories and Attractions in the region. The trainline was served by one two part DC 22. Here a look at the circle line And here you can see the hub at Haugesund
The regions are connected by one 4 part DC 22. For the trainlines I used 110 Km/h tracks. To save construction and maintenance cost I used the simple plattform for the stations that are connected to the cheap busstop to acceppt p****angers just like this.
And as you can see it´s possible to make profit with that.
1. if you use the 100% load, I would extend the station to 4 Plattforms and seperate the lines from eachother, this will give you max flexibilety for the lines. 2. If you dont use 100% load then also 3 Plattforms can be enough if you use choose signal for incoming trains, because then they can choose the free plattform. I would prefer the first option, also if it has higher maintenance cost.
I started garbage transport at the end of 1942. In 1943 I began to connect the rest of the industries with each other, this took till middle of 1944. At the end of 1944 I took the rest of my money to connect the wood plantation and the Goods factory to the power network. All the years before were mainly saving money and developing the growing p****anger network. Because it was my target to have as few overcrowded stations as possible At the beginning of the game I just connected the factories to my p****anger network to get more transport.
I started with building the complete p****enger network in January 1930. I used nearly the complete 500K starting capital to get it going. Here you can see the map from November 1930 As you can see every city is connected and also most of the industries and attractions. And here the finace window. The next 12 years only saw adjustments and renewel of the p****enger network. My company was profitable all the time. I have to say that I haven´t transported any mail, because I normally start mail transport when the combined Mail and P****anger Busstop is available.
