yeah, totally agree... would love to see UFO polished up for the modern PC's
i'm still playing it, although on my pda rather than pc... there's a free ppc version out there that runs well on windows mobile software.

The PPC version is very outdated though AFAIK?
I enjoy the Nintendo DS and Symbian versions. Hopefully when OpenGFX is complete Debian and Ubuntu and the like will put OpenTTD in their repositories.

mind = blown
well...not quite, but thanks!
I tried using that since using the CD version would spontaneously crash on my OS, but my gripe is with CorsixTH I can't get the right game speed.
Normal is far too slow, and the next speed up is way too fast, needs to be somewhere in between

Thought best not start a new thread.
Anyway, last few months I have been dabbling in this game. Basically, starting a new random game, lay a few tracks, stations, bus routes etc, realise I have made a mess and not efficient enough. No idea how to do signals so trains crash, get stuck. Abandon game and start a new one.
I have googled on how to use signals and station layouts but most of the time they are not explaining or saying what signal goes where and for what purpose.
Fast forward to last week (or earlier this week) I found a Youtube user called Master Hellish. He has some very good tutorials on what to do at the start and how do everything in small bite size videos. Very very good if you ask me.
So I started to make some excellent progress in my games but still find myself restarting the game. So off I went to find some maps (height maps) or scenarios to have a play with. I had a good run but wanted my own map.
Googled how to make a real DEM map and import it to the game but it was time consuming and it hot and can't be bothered. So I googled a plain colour map of Ibiza (my favorite place) loaded in photoshop painted the sea black, land mass dark grey (it would be a flat island in the game). Made new scenario with the map and added the main towns and beaches etc that the Island actually has and named them accordingly.
I started a new game/scenario and it added low amount of industry to the map.
I can say I have never had so much fun in a game. The joy I get from a successful route moving materials from one place to another and then transferring elsewhere is great. I an setting out big stations as hubs, getting right signals in place making sure the trains run smooth. Had a few hiccups, but soon sorted.
In my current game I have a few flight paths to the main towns from Ibiza itself, a few long train journeys too. Plenty of industry goods moving along making towns grow etc.
Sat with £200m+ in the bank and queues and queues of people waiting to be carted off somewhere. Great little game.
Anyone else still play it?

I still play some nights to pass some time. Usually a random, standard industries, high number of industries map, 1024x1024. Best I've done so far is around £5.5bn by 2050.
I once had four farms all in range of one station and it's fairly common to have two producing industries in range and three isn't that uncommon either with high industries.
