Pak128 / Re: Metro - as tram or train?
I personally think it all depends on the specific vehicle. I think that They should be set as trams, so they can stop at appropriately fitted bus stops. I prefer them because they can be almost invisible and not clutter up the streets.

Randomness Lounge / Re: What's your up/download speed?
actually I have the top of what i can get from around here. they say we top out at about 3.0 here. Small cities have their advantages, internet speed is not one of them.

Though, we could get up to 1 Gb/s for thousands of dollars in AB with the Super Net.

Randomness Lounge / Re: What's your up/download speed?

This is normal for me.


I try again



Wow, it is higher on the download but not upload.

No wonder, uploading takes a longer time for me!
Only 10meg from an ADSL/Telecoms company (google :) )?
Combuijs, you'll probably live in Son & Breughel, connected by KPN Glasvezel, bronze triple play for 65 Euro/month? I can't see any ADSL2+ connection offering you this speed.

Here's mine, I got VDSL2 but watching HDTV (IPTV) right now, they sold it as a 12mbit line, which only reaches that speed with not watching TV.

Little bit faster than I normally see... 250GB/mo cap, which is not bad for the US. $55/mo, and that's only because I also have cable. It'd be $75/mo otherwise.

The US lags behind many places, which is frustrating.
Update:



I supposedly had a bump in my speed since then. hehe

You all get significantly faster than me.

Randomness Lounge / Re: Explain your avatar
Mine is an *extremely subtle* hint about my preference on computers. similar to my user bars in my signature. for those who can't figure it out, I prefer Apples.

Praises / Re: Pak128.Britain
Agree with Lamllet, love the pak.
I play it more than pak 128, pak 64. 

For what i can think of, the pak is nearly perfect.

Other paksets / Re: pak128.USA
Not living in a city with m**** transit, car is most common. If it was available, I would use m**** transit before even thinking of stating a car. What you would need to do is put a focus on things like elevated or even the tunnels to move around. The only m**** transit that i remember being on is the ETS. The new expansions are nice.

For anybody who is thinking of working on this, electrics (of any kind) should be super expensive to purchase and have little variety, we mostly use diesel loco's. Big vehicles are a MUST. piece goods on planes would make for a more realistic North American experience. Trucks should be cheep to run. but only make trains and planes profitable over LONG distances. One last thing, for citycars, pickup trucks are a must.

I think that I will take Hood and VS on their offers.  ;D (just a sort of p**** time thing to do on the weekends)

8 lanes of traffic each way

Actually i counted 9.

love the idea of a North American pak, I say this because the US and Canada have similar transportation systems.

only 2 lanes each way in Alberta.

Tutorials / Re: places and their goods
I could be able to do that, with a lot of time, effort, trial and error, and a couple dozen help requests. I am still fairly new to this, so it may take some time.
