I know this was included in the read me or a post somewhere, but I forget, was it that in the old system: 120 - Ultra Cool 110 - Looks Sharp 100 - Acceptable 80 - Ugly and then in the new system: 130 - Very Cool 120 - Looks Sharp 110 - Looks Good 100 - Acceptable 90 - Ugly 80 - Very Ugly 70 - Gruesome

Generally speaking, if you're playing Europe World, electrics far outmatch diesels in cost effectiveness, reliability, speed, pulling power and so on, especially after 1950. In America though, there are some powerful diesel choices. Accurate, diesels are highly prominent in north America and electr...

I'll watch it, theBonobo4! Yes your videos are great. I can get the Silver there, but not the Gold. I prefer playing Europe, Asia and Latin America maps BTW :lol: . Thanks for the kind words! I've got another scenario I need to finish recording and then upload, so expect that in a few days hopefull...

South East USA was one of my first videos on RT3, I got gold on expert so may be watch that for tips, I don't remember it being that difficult but I haven't played it since then.

When I say ugly I mean passenger appeal, not my actual opinion. That camel back does look good, though I'm unsure if I'll use it since I don't use the default one any way and I don't use shunters. But I obviously understand the point of the locomotive and it's very well made on your part. !*th_up*! ...

I'm using all the fan made locomotives that I know of, on 1.05, so that includes things like the ten wheeler and the mogul. I very rarely if ever use the camelback, it's ugly and slow, I think it's only good points if I remember are that it's cheap. But I might be wrong.

Well if you don't want it Gruesome you can change it to suit yourself. If you want it doing 300 mph with purple headlights, that's fine by me. I'm even happy to tell you how to do it. !*th_up*! TBH I'm still not entirely sure about final stats for this one. I haven't played a map that uses it since...

It's a shame this locomotive is gruesome, I think it looks awesome. Proper American steam train.

Some of these questions I think I know the answers to, but I just need clarifying or explaining as I'm not 100 percent sure. 1. Firstly, whilst I'm 99% sure the economy is random, is there ANY way to create/predict an economic boom, end of boom, depression, recession, etc? I'm fairly sure the answer...

Just followed the instructions and reset my laptop.

I've managed to get the no CD patch to work.

Rebooting your computer should fix that.

I'll try again tomorrow then. Wasn't aware a computer restart was necessary.

Thanks. Think it's working now. Will play for a bit later and hope it doesn't crash out again. The water reflections do look good.

Never mind I think I downloaded and got dgVoodoo to work successfully. The Disable Hardware T&L is now unchecked permanently in Graphics settings, and Water Reflections are on and seem to work. I only played briefly but so far, no crashes. Let's hope this holds out. :-D Do I need the other files...

Just tried the no CD patch, pretty sure I did it correctly, but it doesn't work, the game just says there's no CD and won't run. Also, is there a link to download dgVoodoo? I couldn't find one in that thread, just a Readme which I don't know if it's for the correct thing?

I have never seen a BSOD from this game. Definitely sounds more like an underlying problem with the computer. I did have a thought that perhaps it's a heat problem. With an old computer it might be full of lint and dust. This game isn't very energy conscious in it's usage habits especially if you a...

I've just installed 1.06 on a fresh installation, all seems to be working, loaded up British Isles on Expert, started up as usual. Noticed the Construction Yards, Customs Houses and also there seemed to be more cargo than normal. Either this is due to hauling at a loss (I didn't have any custom cons...

Right. I might then install it at some point. Though I don't see how 1.06 will help. I think it's just that my laptop does not like the game for whatever reason. I'm wondering if maybe I'm missing some dll file, is there any way to know? I don't have any custom cargo skins, I just have maps, logos a...

Try sourceforge.net for open source video editing software. I dunno if Vegas is, though **!!!** . You don't need a separate install for 1.06. If only for the extra locos and game maps available here, it's worth it. I thought I read that you did. **!!!** I might install it one day though. I already ...

I never get a BSOD with RT3. Try installing the 1.06 patch and tweaking your own video settings optimally: IIRC, I've turned TRansform and Lighting on and now my maps look like a shine, also with High Graphic details the water is very very nice to look at. But you might want to disable these settin...
