I like very much to play this game. From the begining i observed it meant to be very realistic. If so, then i would like to see all kind of crossovers that exist in real world. For example http://www.bronx-terminal.com/?p=342

So far the game is quite good, but some improvements are needed! /forums/topic/so-far-the-game-is-quite-good-but-some-improvements-are-needed/ Fri, 05 Sep 2014 14:46:32 +0000 /forums/topic/so-far-the-game-is-quite-good-but-some-improvements-are-needed/ Continue reading ]]> I’ve played the game until 1928 and managed to make a lot of money at medium difficulty level.

The game is good and has a lot of potential.

This is my list of suggestions to improve and/or fix the game:

FIXES:

– Fix the lagging/stuttering problem (I have a medium/high PC and it lags too).

– Fix the clunkiness (and lagginess) of the interface. The shortcut keys cease to function or freeze at random. The same happens for mouse scrolling (it stutters and cease to function very often).

– The autosave function cannot be disabled and this contributes to the stuttering and lagging problem.

IMPROVEMENTS:

– A big improvement would be the possibility of laying track projects in segments before actually building them (as in A-Train and other trasport simulators).

– An easier way to lay short bridges and short tunnels (to intersect city roads) is needed too. At the present, only long bridges and tunnels are easy to build, but the short ones are really a pain to build.

– A MAP EDITOR (and possibly a scenario editor adding missions and linking scenarios in campaigns), and more customizations in creating random maps are definitely needed to increase dramatically the longevity of the game. Playing only random maps become boring soon.

– a MINIMAP is definitely needed too! At present I cannot see my entire network!

– There should be a way to upgrade rail stations, adding more tracks or lenght if there is enough space.

– Some statistics/info for the stops and the stations (passengers x hour, catchment area, etc.) would be useful.

– Long distance transport demand for passengers is a bit too low. At the moment, I see that only short distance lines make a profit. That’s a bit unrealistic. There should be a touristic/commercial demand for far away destinations.

Thank you and keep up the good work,

Antonello
