Re: How Old Are You?

I'm actually 14, but I'm turning fifteen in November so I went ahead and picked that range

Re: Dihydrogen monoxide

Huh... I'm the only person holding the ban hammer here? Usually I don't care about the environment, but this chemical seems especially dangerous to humans.

New map in the works, but how do you make cities?

I'm actually pleasantly surprised at the simplicity of the RRt3 map maker, and I've made some good progress on my new map so far. I'm about ready to set some cities down in a few places, I'm I can't quite figure out how. Most of the other controls and settings are pretty straightforward, I'm sure I'...

Re: Island of Sodor - Railroad Tycoon 3

Ha, this is great! I'd love to help you with this project, especially in building the custom trains. The simplicity of the T&F characters would be a great place for me to practice engine modding, and there's plenty of British engines already in the game that we can choose from. However, Thomas, ...

Re: RT3 Game Cheats - Do You Use Them?

I remember when I first discovered the cheats, I was like9 or 10. I used them all the time! But then my disk got messed up, we bought a new computer, and I only used the "fat cat" cheat since I rebought the game a few weeks ago. Other than that, I think the cheats take away from the real v...

Was Stephenson's Rocket included in a Special Edition?

I use to have Railroad Tycoon 3 as updated to 1.3. I bought it from Target as a single CD in a CD case. Now, I swear it had the Rocket, and I also swear I read somewhere that the Rocket was only in certain editions. Now I bough a new disc off Amazon because the old one crashes, and this one was the ...

Re: A&BC RR checking in!

Okay, I'll try that. Of course, that means another backup folder. This may be my 6th or 7th one.

Re: A&BC RR checking in!

Yeah, Island Sugar Company. Whoops. Uh, the computer... let me check:Oh, yeah, it is Windows 7. Now, when I run the auto-install for the updates, I go ahead and let it unzip to the default location, which says Railroad Tycoon 3, but nothing happens *whatsoever*. So, I manually installed all the file...

Re: A&BC RR checking in!

The map is fictional, therefore in "other lands" page two. Let me run RRt3 real quick and see what the error message says: Actually, the error itself just says "Railroad Tycoon 3 has stopped working" and gives the options to close or look for a solution. Ofcourse, it never does a...

Re: A&BC RR checking in!

Oh, I am certainly going to try. My interests are in small narrow gauge lines, like in South America. I was thoroughly impressed by "Sugar Cane Island," but it won't work on my computer. So, I may try to work on a small island of my own. I'm also going to need to add some new locos, such a...

A&BC RR checking in!

Hello to all. I'm going to go by Altoona & Beach Creek, which was a narrow guage shortline named for my hometown, the famous railfan hub of Altoona, PA. I joined the forums just now so I can talk to the many people who share my interest, specifically in Railroad Tycoon 3 custom editing. I'm 14 y...
