Yes - I'm guessing that its something to do with the way patches etc have been loaded - and possibly what video card you have but I'm no expert. I've had speed problems before but cant remember ever having trains unable to use lines except when (say) an earthquake/flood has been programmed in. Won't...

I'll try again and see what happens. It's quite likely to be the way its installed on my computer and can't be replicated elsewhere. I've had several other examples before - probably we all have.

Managed to play this one through on Normal. In one way the scenario is beyond me. Speed. Firstly though I made all the connection requirements incredibly easily. I built one Industry (Textile) early but think could have managed on railing alone. Cash just rolled in. At the end I was triple the carry...

I've found that if at some point you offer a 100% premium it will be refused but if you wait the required period and offer again it will normally be accepted. I've won quite a few scenarios where this has been needed. Haven't managed to play RT3 for last couple of months but will have to give some o...

Back from one hol but as weather warming up off on others soon so dont know when I'll be playing next! Just on Ray's points. I rarely do anything with Elec as I can never generate enough power from them although if there's Uranium I might buy both mine and power just to make sure they dont shut down...

Been playing latest version but as off on holiday tonight wont get to finish it - problem is its just such a long scenario. Only a couple of comments. Firstly I dont like the choose a Contractor at random without knowing what benefits (if any) derive. Both times to date I chose A and had + 10% track...

After a rash of new hard scenarios I've just given this one a run through. Played on Expert and reached Gold umpteen years early finding no errors on the way. Pleasent change from brain racking!

Well went through this very carefully then tried to lay track as instructed. Proved impossible. On an earlier try I had got to Midway somehow but couldn't do this time. The map is just so big and complex (as are the instructions) that I'm afraid it drives me mad and I dont really feel like playing i...

Actually I only recently discovered that after 20 years the maintenance cost of trains means they should be replaced as they cant be profitable. In a few scenarios (Sao Miguel for example) its even earlier. Hence I replaced all after about 18 years. Out of the first 30 it only meant about 10 because...

Now reached final stage. Formed new company and was so rich it had $22m so could build all way from Portola to Wendover. Now tried twice. First time I refused to break link when S&P demanded I did and got booted. Second I broke it in both places (but didnt destroy all) and got booted. Could have...

(Following written before I'd read your latest post Moab) You're hardly a beginner Ray !! I didnt get a depression to start with although I've now reached 1902 and have had one for at least 10 years. Remember depressions are good for building track - cost is 80% Normal whereas in boom its 120%. Ther...

Have just managed to start this on Normal. I'm totally puzzled. All my trains are profitable (I run very few always). I managed to build Brewery, buy nearby grain. Then build Distillery and buy Produce. A bit later upgrade. These are incredibly profitable. I own about half my stock and dont need to ...

Hi Ray Only delete the unzipped file which of course take up a lot of space compared to the zip file so I've every(???) scenario there has ever been in English for RT3 plus a few foreign ones. Same for Tropico which is the other game I still play. I'm an obsessive collector I'm afraid :mrgreen: :evi...

O/K now I remember it - absolutely drove me daft and still does. Cant understand anything about it. I took over Red and connected to suggested town and first required one. Had trains between any towns with resources but nothing ran and particularly not those ex-Red in US. Even the trains that were r...

Ah yes - have got it but cant remember playing it. Will have to give it a try! Thanks

Well unless SCBC is short for something I havent got it so would be interested to see it!

Interesting - I gave this another try and on Expert. This proved very hard as I couldn't make enough money. I tried buying the dye plantations but hadn't the money to build stations at each - nor to electrify the area / trains so went without and went down dismally :evil: :evil: :evil: Never taken c...

Hi Ray thanks for your kind comments - but its you guys who make scenarios that deserve all the credit - without you RT3 (and 6 with huge gratitude to those who created this - and Hawk for all his work) would have gone the way of most other computer games this old. I'm only too pleased to have new s...

Went back and played on. Got 10 out of the 11 start of 1913 and then changed every train carrying missing goods to last town and got there in Nov and Gold at end of year. Hence didnt test that you got Gold for only 10 (assuming its programmed to check at end of year only). My only comment really is ...

Well played on and built some distilleries for the alcohol. Went up to 2 completed and several more near. Then Dec of ? the game crashed. If it had been Jan wouldn't have worried but losing a year of custom trains / building Industry is so dispiriting that I dont know if I can bring myself to re-sta...
