I have recently reinstalled RRT3 after three or four years of not playing; I remembered from the last time that there was some user created content available online for the game, so I did a google search and found the Hawkdawg.com main site, then this forum here (let's just say I struck gold, heh).
RRT3 is a such a great game (as was RRT2 before that), looking forward to see what downloads, tips and tricks I can learn here to make the game even better, and maybe sharing some of my thoughts, experieces and ideas too.
Cheers
Hey all

Re: Hey all
Welcome and can I be the first to suggest you try out the Trainmaster mod, if you want a really challanging RT3 experiance.
I need a little less pressure, and a little more time

Re: Hey all
Welcome! Don't let that TrainMaster club drag you off to to their playing field too quickly ....become re-excited about RT3 first. Play all the old familiar 'friends' and also check out some of the great new games which have appeared over the last few years. And feel free to jump right into this forum with your ideas and comments.
(Actually that TrainMaster bunch are good people....but they are always on the prowl for converts.)

If y'all don't start making easier maps you're gonna' lose me.

What happened to that first one Ned made. I forget the name of it but it seemed like I could eventually get my head around that one.

Unless you are talking about Persian Electric then I am probably working on an overhaul for being too easy.Hawk wrote: What happened to that first one Ned made. I forget the name of it but it seemed like I could eventually get my head around that one.
But I think a compromise is in order...why not play an RT3 map then a TM map, then RT3, then TM, etc..
Oh, and weclome aboard TSTBR

The TM people are friendly, but we might just steal your life away with our complex and engaging scenarios :)

Re: Hey all
Welcome abord, TSTBR
but from my point of view it's better to do the "standard jobs" first. (TM seems to be - hmmm IS - harder than original RT3!) I invite you to try to complete some - if not all - of the fine RT3 scenarios you'll see in the download sections, especially if you are not a micromanager (like me). My favorite scenario is Scrimshaw (from Taleisin): simply build a nice to look at, low grade, smooth connection passing high mountains ...Ray wrote:... can I be the first to suggest you try out the Trainmaster mod ...

Re: Hey all
Sugus is correct, Trainmaster is considerably more difficult than RT3, and there is a lot more emphasis on cargo control. So it is best to fully understand RT3 before moving on, however, you can have both installed so that you can double your fun. Not even your own set of Double Mint Twins would be as much fun :)
