Any suggestions for getting really lovely FPS and performance from this game? It is like 20 years old and somehow still brings my computer to a crawl. I see it is using 50% CPU constantly, I tried setting affinity to just Core 0 or Core 1 (single core game) but no help. Disabled detail and advanced textures. Seems to run perfectly in single player, but on the goon server in the later years it just crawls.

What is the deal with airports and airplanes?

Just played a game with a couple of pals and we all tried setting up airplane routes, using City airports. And ended up with something like a 95% crash rate on the suckers.

This was mentioned a few posts up about the custom version we are using. Were you using the same?

quote:

2. Airplanes aren't normally really crashy, but the version we use (and posted in the OP) has a bug where planes crash like 75% of the time unless crashes are disabled.

Hey, Less than three. Any chance on getting another game going using the ECS Vectors mod? I liked having refineries having capacities and being able to boost production from a resource more quickly than is now possible.

I also remember it cost something like 20,000,000 to fund a new industry which would be cool, because now once maglevs come around, anyone on the server can just fund as many industries as they want for an ideal route.

Ah gently caress, It wasn't ECS that we used so much during the summer, it was FIRS. I support getting a game going using it in the future.

I am glad signals on bridges/tunnels are back. I also liked watching companies.

Edit: Automated timetables :woop:

Thanks! I'll have to log on and play with you all once I learn how to play more.

The best way to learn is to get on the server and play.

But if I remember, the only towns that need special cargo to grow are the ones that physically are on the desert tiles. Towns in the lush forest areas around water will grow without any special cargo.

I know we have aircraft slowed down to make it harder, but at 1/4the speed it makes them useless except the 600 seat aircraft. Can we up the speed so making an airline is possible? It seems like it would be fun with cargo dist to make a hub and spoke airline.
