Re: ideas and other things + sth. NEW!

Yes, some of that ideas were just plain ideas.  I added them  only to maybe
inspire someone. 3) is an example, because sometimes RVs have problems to
meet slower RV (to go before them, I do not know the english term).

1) Well, year 1920-30 is not very interesting, but then ´to enjoy old times,
to enjoy old steam trains and so on (especially with DB Set XL...). I am not
the profi player, who does everything to quick profit. I enjoy the game,
then I have only half of my plans fulfilled, when year 2000 passes. And then
I do not like it very much (yes, something I do, but something not)...
Well, the best would be to be able to change the flow of time in any game
everytime. But for the whole game (setting in .cfg file) would be enough
(for now).
2) I know, very problematic, as I said.
5) Are you sure? I am now building my scenario, so I  will see. But I think
it will be problematic, because RVs going on the other side (in CR, Germany,
USA ... on the left side) will have to geto to right side to pass the tunnel
or bridge.
6-7) I think I saw year ago multi-tile bus stations as an impossible thing.
But yes, it would be great. Or the possibility to hav on  one tile TRAM stop
and another BUS station...
Let's just hear from some programmer of TTDPatch
9) It is not as whole thing crazy. It happens in Europe, but yes, it is
absolutely not needed thing.
10) Well I am not sure, how did you your point mean (ironic or truely? that
"yuck" makes me doubts)
11) I do not understand your curve crossings.  Did you mean only railway
crossings, or crossings with road (street)?

The graphic for that enhancetunnels is somwhere. Unortunately I am not sure,
where did I get it. But try
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~dou/ttdx/index.html#about and the links in
"Requirements". On this guide is on first pages about railways image of this
graphic. But I turned it off in early years, it looks too modern.


NEW question:
12) Are roads responding to setting "Transparent buildings"? Because then it
woul be possible in this view show the marks (arrows) on oneway roads.
Normaly it is very ... not nice:-).

13) I know, I probably want too much:-). But it would be nice to have tram
tracks for oneway roads too (for building avenues in city). Now it is
problematic, you get  road vehicles going toward the trams (they do not go
in one direction only).
