That is pretty big map. In CiM we have 8×8 km map and its big enough to make several towns and even have freight if that game had support for it.
This is not what I see in CiM. The buses are synced every time they go to depot. Maybe you are talking about CiM 1.
What is ZUSI Axel? I did not find this game.
Here is the devs saying about the schedules:
Train Fever is not going to have timetables. You can add signals or change the street layout to optimize a route .

I also respect your opinion kensternation. If the devs decide to add schedules, ok great. I’m not against. I’m just pointing out a problem that ppl refuse to see and create “amazing” complex formulas and suggestions that never work. Its very simple: vehicles must run at the same time the game run, otherwise no schedules will ever be good enough. You either play a game where vehicles seems to be on cheetah speed all the time, or a boring game that 1 minute = 1 minute in real life.
And to confirm:
- An in-game year will pass in 6 minutes. You’re able to speed the time up, what will shorten an in-game year.

I think there are no schedules. 1 month will be 8 minutes if Im not wrong.
Much better this way. No schedules, no day night cycle, just hard signaling and routing. That is what the game suppose to be about, not timetables that will never work as expected for a very simple reason: vehicles moving in real time while game time moves faster.
I don’t recall you talking about bus bays. Will there be bus bays? Otherwise a bus waiting to keep a certain distance to the other bus will block the lane, causing a huge traffic jam behind.
Are you going to include different levels of difficult? Hard, very hard, extreme, impossible?
I’m a bit afraid that without AI it will be easy to lose motivation. I do enjoy just making the network and looking around, but after a while you have a huge network, meaning loads of money, and then its just too easy to get around.
What kept my motivation in RailRoad Tycoon 2 is the fact that you can spend money to purchase the AI and re-make all network, spend money in the stock market and upgrade the entire fleet. Things that are very expensive even when your company have a lot of cash.
Another thing you could include is the possibility to build a headquarters. Each HQ upgrade will unlock new features. That gives a sense of development. Take this as inspiration: http://i48.tinypic.com/2cxyonk.jpg
Just like Traffic Giant, some areas of the map can also be locked, and can only be served after some criteria is reached.
I think Germans add a lot to transport games. I don’t know why but the German community around these games are always very active. Unfortunately I do not speak German and I wouldn’t want to lose what they have to contribute. Would be nice to keep it this way, translating the posts.
That is outstanding. The game is focused on trains and there are freight, still you did not forgot details about urban transport such as bus lanes, plus consider favoring public transport in signals. Are you sure this game is real?
Nice to know the forests grow. That is great. About day and night cycle, thanks God they won’t be included.
