Mine is actually a screenshot from my addon map of Hawaii for a game called YSFlight. I was making ground objects for that map around the same time as a topic showed up here of people putting Simutrans ads on race cars or something, so I threw together a billboard to advertise Simutrans in YSF.
Unix people: "I know what I do, dear program do not bother me with silly questions!

Windows people: "Uh oh, I don't know what I do, please, dear program warn me every step and ask twice!
Unresolvable conflict of views and traditions.
I like the unix style. If I click "Quit", just quit. I know what I do, the button label is clear and distinct, no need to bother me with questions.
I'm a windows user. I have to have help just turning on a Mac, and I've never even seen the penguin's os. Still, I often find warning messages annoying. I turned off UAC the day after I brought my Vista computer home from Wally World. I have overwritten saved games before, but a warning box wouldn't have stopped me.
For images, photobucket would be a better option because you can upload images and post the image code directly, or even use an automatically generated thumbnail view with a link to the full view.
It would be nice to see miles per hour. I have to admit, I almost never use metric measurements, and when I do I do it wrong because I never bothered to memorize the conversions, so in my bad math 2 km is about 1 mile and 1 meter is about 4 feet, yet I know 100 km is about 60 miles.
The rest of the world is just plain nuts. haha (just joking!)
Doh! I should have got a picture of some cotton fields last week. Well, what they do around here is plow the field up right after harvest, so it looks like a plowed field with a few brown sticks from the dead plants.
This is right after a harvest. A few weeks after harvest, they plow all those dead plants under so they refresh the soil for the next season.
I had working stops in pak128 that used the end loading dock to make a bus stop-like extension as a separate stop right after it became possible to have more than 2 units (a truck plus 3 trailers, for example). I don't know what I did what that, but it looked just like the single access loading bay in the picture on the first page. Road trains never went mainstream, so neither did my loading dock. It's good to see they are making a surge here.
Probably about 5 months. The last month of fall and the first month of spring (around here, that is Novemeber, December, January, February, and March it would be empty). Then in Spring it gets plowed up and the plants start growing in Summer. For simutrans purposes, the winter scene would be dry gr**** or snow; the spring scene would be plowed, brown soil with a few green seedlings; the summer scene would be green plants; and the fall scene would be the green plants with a heavy layer of white static on top.
I wish I had time to do this for you, but I haven't even started on that quarry I was going to do yet.
Cotton is planted like any other row crop, and look a little like a jalapeno pepper plant with a thick stem and bushy leaves. Planting takes place in early summer. The plant doesn't grow more than 2 or 3 feet (probably 1/2 a meter). They bloom in late summer to early fall (about 1.5 months ago here in Tennessee). The cotton bowl begins to form, slowly changing the color of a field from green to white. By the time the cotton bolls are fully developed, the green leaves begin to fall off. At that point, the field looks like it has a heavy layer of snow on it. Then it is harvested, leaving a little bit of cotton scattered on the ground as waste. As it rains, the waste cotton returns to the soil and it is usually left to the gr**** and weeds until the next planting season.
It sounds like you fear winning. Edit the map with a bunch of new industry chains, and fill out the ones you already have going to make them more efficient.
Of course, that will increase your profits even faster...
After a long retirement, I was finally given an ****ignment to improve the cotton farm. I started by throwing it out the window. I don't have a .pak yet, since I never fully knew how to make them in the first place. This was the first painting I've done since long before rotation was possible.
Note to VS: I included my proposal for arrangement, but it is modular enough that the barn can go almost anywhere in relation to the tractor trail, and so can the house.
I may try to improve some of the other buildings I did in the past.
What about a T intersection, where there is a turn off to one side but not the other. While p****ing a car in a 4-way stop would be illegal, it should be perfectly fine to p**** a vehicle when there is a road to the right because the straight road doesn't stop.
Actually, I previously posted "Transportation you can believe in" and "Yes you can...transport", directly inspired by Barry Obama's campaign slogan. "Transportation First" was inspired by Johnny McCain.

You shouldn't expect a jumbo jet to be available in the 1930s or 1940s, but if you want it you can turn the time line off. That might be a good idea if only to test it and make sure it is working properly.
I've never seen them used that way, but I've never been to California. I always ****umed they are a Hollywood myth, like pulling the hammer back on a 1911 pistol is the same as pulling a hammer back on a single action revolver, or that Will Smith is good in movies that aren't comedies.
I will try to pay attention as I run my 200 mile circuit tomorrow and see if I see any traffic drums placed like they are on the movies.
They are used like cones. They have a little bit of water in them so they don't blow away in the wind. Their large size makes them more visible than regular cones and they are normally used around road construction. I've never seen them left in place for very long after the construction is done, and when the work is only taking a day or two, they usually use regular cones.
