Have to say, that's quite a map!

Just to clarify, before I give it too much thought, the "aims" are

  • Reach a p****enger delivery ratio of 0.95 (95%) in Midtown
  • build a BIG company HQ on Governor's Island
  • schedule fights to each of the to the 5x airports on the map

Yes! The flights might be also necessary for the p****enger delivery ratio of 95%.

can you post your save, so that we can see how it may look..?

Yes, when I manged all "aims". But here es a small preview.

I'm still trying to find a way to decrease the waiting p****enger at the factory
in Greenwich and Lower East Side. And the "Washington Bridge" is a big bottleneck.

Here it is! A savegame (pak128, 102.2.1) with a nearly full public transportation system in NYC area.
Nearly 4000 vehicle, around 280 lines (express trains, subway, ferries, air, bus). I reached the 95%
in 1975/Jan. In Manhattan are partly more than five underground levels used. The Mail-Service is
still in process.

Really nice challenge!

Two questions:
  • Is it allowed to build more airports? Like in Central Park for example..
  • Is it allowed to fuill up the Hudson river? then one can cross it without bridges ;)
I suppose the answer is 'No' to both questions, but I had to ask.
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and maggikraut.

The central park airport itself must be underground, and starting and landing must be done through tunnels ;)

I bet someone will file that as change request soon ;D

Well, we have no "city council decisions" which prohibit this. But I think it's
very unrealistic. And you will have big problems to carry all the people in the
60' with the small airplanes.


  • Is it allowed to fuill up the Hudson river? then one can cross it without bridges ;)
;) Why not "Lower Bay" and "Upper Bay" too!
Answer : No

I'd like to know if I can edit this svegame, cuz I'd like to be able to allow new industries to form. And btw, is there any posibility for this map to be totally covered with cities, like real NYC?

Yes, look to your email box.

Well, I tried it. I wasn't able to fix the problem with too much inhabitants.
If the cities outside Manhattan getting bigger (with small buildings only) , it's still to much.

Technically yes, as some counters on the display will choke on on 2^31-1. But since this means more than level 100 on every tile of a 2096x4096 map, I am sure the routing of those m****es will make the game unplayable much earlier.

Yes, on the NYC-Map it's for me between 2^21 to 2^22 (depending on the PC) !!

In my opinion it would be great to have the opportunity to make different kind of cities
with the "found a new city" tool. So it may be more realistic in a view areas.
e.g.

  • very sp****ly populated
  • sp****ly populated
  • normal city
  • densely populated
  • very densely populated

Hey People !
I played this map, connecting Freight.
I have a problem, all my factories work on full power, and I simply can't build enough ships for hauling all those stuff, I have 10kt of steel in every single Dock that needs it :( How to get rid of it somehow? I have 19M debt and 1.5M of profit.... I simply can't stop building ships :D It is madness!!! I hope that one day I will see black numbers on my account balance place :D
I'm just afraid of bankruptcy. And yeah, I decided to start building public transport when I get in positive :D But it seems that my p****enger will waiiit for long. If someone wants to fight with my debt, I can upload my savegame :D

Great scenario. And very long. I suppose to complete it sometime in 2013 (real year, not game year) :-) Now i am in gameyear 1977, have 560 vehicles, fair profit and 25% of the goal..

amazing. your fulfilled version of the scenario (15) is by far the coolest i've seen of this game so far (narrowly beats some guy's sve of the world airports)

The heightmap of this game is now available on Simutrans Maps under the name of New York City.
