DEMs (no this isn't political)

It's been a long time since I played with DEMs to get digital data for a map. I used to work with MicroDEM with some success in RTII.

What data and readers are you map builders currently using :?:

Thanks,

Duh. Thanks, besterick I should have looked here first. :oops: I shoud've known Hawk would maintian copies (thanks Hawk). And he even included the caution that CtoC needs to install first.

Glad to see things are still pretty lively around here. Thanks also for the quick reply.

Old Patches

Hi Guys,
It's been a while but I wanted to start playing again. Installed on a new PC and need to get old patches. Can anyone recommend a safe, hassle-free download site? Also, is it correct to first download CtoC then 1.05?
Thanks,

Here's one I hadn't heard of. My son found it the other day and gave it to me as a Christmas present. The game is for the Nintendo DS and is called Lionel Trains - On Track. The graphics are poor but it has reasonably deep gameplay for a handheld. I've been having a lot of fun with it. Picture it as...

This game is absolute proof that you don't need eye candy to have a good game. I never got a chance to play the original. I started with RT2. Now that I've gotten a chance to play it, I'm awed. I wanted to send thanks to Firaxis and Take 2. dshirk, this was a very nice thing to do for your customers...

Hi Guys, I think that the game's supply and demand reaction was never balanced correctly, but I don't have an issue with the model. I've always thought of it this way: The reason that industries wanted to transport their goods is to reach other demand areas. The only time that transporting the goods...

I like both programs but prefer RT3. IMHO, RT3 made some significant improvements in the Industry Model. For example: Industry does not instantly create processed goods The purchase cost increases or decreases with the success of the industry The amount of raw material generated by a source increase...

Of the ones listed, I voted for the B&O. I think if it were there, I would have voted for the Maryland & Pennsylvania (MA & PA). A meandering little line that went 77 track miles to join Baltimore with York, PA; cities that are only about 40 some miles apart.
