NIce map! Ive been looking for something new and this was really fun. On my first try got Gold on Expert level in December of year 20. I sold stock twice after the challenge, and once was at the end of year 20 to hit the CBV mark Just to see if I could get it.

just played this one for the first time. really enjoyed it b/c it was so different. played it on Expert and only achieved Silver. Missed it b/c of the Uranium hail (got to about 300 of the 375 goal). everything else i crushed by alot. So figured I probably should've put more focus on hualing early o...

Ahhh, great scenario! On my 2nd try I achieved Gold on Expert in 1939 with 6 years to go. Thanks to this thread. The key is the industries and placing them. Nice work on this one!!!

Well, the re-install went great. in fact, went further and got 1.06 installed so even better. also installed the blurry texture patch. will see how it goes. thanks all...

To add to what BH said; In case you decide to play 1.06 down the road or even just make a copy of your RT3 1.05 installation and then use the copy for the one use you with custom locomotives. Have you read this thread about multiple installs? http://hawkdawg.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=2363...

It's the "Blurry Texture Fix " stashed on this page: http://hawkdawg.com/rrt/rrt3/Xtras/ If you're not running it already, try it. Even if it doesn't fix all the crashes it should make your game look a lot better. I know it doesn't cause crashes, so there's no reason not to have it. You k...

stoker - ok will remove the custom engines. didnt know they might cause a prob

blackhawk - thanks i'll keep that in mind

gumboots - I'm not sure. I seem to remember something that needed to be done when doing the upgrade to 1.05 but cant remember the details. can you refresh me?

ok thanks, that makes sense. I'm on a fairly new PC and running Windows 7 (see below for full specs). And I have installed custom engines - the *.PK4 files that I put into the UserExtraContent folder - not sure if that's what you mean. Prob cant get anything from these details below so I think if it...

I seem to be having a real problem with crashes recently. Thanks to everyone who helped on my D'Orient Express issue (which was resolved). But I'm now writing b/c its happening on some brand new scenarios. I downloaded The Northeast Corridor and it crashed in the first year before I even did anythin...

Wow, I just played this one for the first time. Maybe I just made some bad decisions or maybe it was just bad run of luck on the economy but I had a really hard time. It runs 50 years which is cool, and there's a creative idea about winning points in different territories. And about 30 years in (aro...

ah, thanks for the clarification. I had no idea and never wanted to risk it.

thanks all! yep, thats where it was crashing a few years earlier. I deleted track and then reconnected to Constantana. so that must definitely be it. ok will do that. Yea, Im still sort of a newbie here and your point about Istanbul I'm aware of. The goal says to connect to istanbul and I've learned...

cool. i had no idea i could just send a copy of my saved game for someone else to try! yet another amazing facet of this beauty of a game. Ok,I actually chose my Autosave since it was a few mins newer than the lastest save for this game. And I'll check out the thread you have below. thanks!

im on 1.05 and no, nothing custom installed as far as i know.

hi, the very first time it crashed it crashed at the same point. i'd setup a section of track between like constantine and the same other station. it would crash when id run the first train from it, and at the same spot. these other two times I cant find a pattern. was wondering if this is a quirk o...

various points. what i wind up doing is restarting from the last checkpoint, taking various saves as it gets closer to the crash point, and then only way I seem to get past it is to change something, like add a new section of track or building. so far its happened at 3 different points in the game, ...

I just started playing this one but am running into system issues. RTIII crashes at the same point over and over. I havent gone through this entire thread yet so if anyone has some tips let me know. I'm on 1.05 and havent had this problem with any other scenario yet.

ooops. thanks. you're confirming the process should be simple made me look back and...realize I was using an older RT3 directory I never knew existed. Its all cleared up and I'm now able to install these new maps. looks like I have a new round of countless hours of entertainment again. thanks so much!

I've downloaded my first new maps (California uber alles for example). And simply copied the .gmp file into the \maps folder with the other maps. However when I start RTIII I dont see the map. I have (EDIT) version 1.05 installed, and I dont think this map needs patch 1.06 right? What am I missing?

Just completed Coast to Coast. that was a fun one. awesome. expert, gold in 15 yrs.
