Random question: how big are the maps you guys usually play on?

I remember you had to tweak things like aircraft speed to make the larger ones bearable. And OpenTTD can make them HUGE, if I recall correctly.

[SOLDIER First]

Anyone know why trucks randomly decide to not take orders to go to a depot?
I can click the depot with the 'Go To' option selected all I want but the destination doesn't show up in the orders list.

Are you sure it's a truck depot and not a bus depot?

[SOLDIER First]

I.
I'm going to go cry now.

Aircraft are already easy mode. Make them slower. Very much so.

Origin, that was not too bad for the basic two-way signals. I remember that one.

How big was the last server's map? It seemed pretty sizable if I'm remembering right.

I remember breakdowns being a rather large problem with non-sped-up aircraft and large maps. A broken plane would slow down, and take aaages to arrive to the nearest airport for service. It'd take even longer to land if there were many others flying in and out. I think I ended up with lots of banged up planes in the air, and cluttered airports due to them (and others) needing frequent maintenance.

Yes, so you make shorter flights and let cargodist bring plane profit to more reasonable levels. Less million dollar one way flights that way.

[Aklyon]

So, what does cargodist do different if you set a setting to asymmetrical instead of the default manual?

[BigD145]

Manual is the default? That's news to me. I guess I shouldn't just overwrite old installs at all times... Mine has been set to asymmetrical since the old nightlies.

[Aklyon]

I installed it to look at newgrfs and the options started at manual for all of them.

[burningpet]

Have you guys insalled Cardodist from within the inbuilt updates installer?

For some reason i never managed to install it.

[BigD145]

Installer? What's that? I just use the newest stable zip and drag, drop, and overwrite.

[Aklyon]

The wiki says cargodist is part of OTTD 1.4, and considering the newest stable is 1.4.2, I'm pretty sure I have it without having to do extra things burningpet.

[Aklyon]

Doublepost I guess, but assuming these setting work, the newgrfs work, the ports are as forwarded as I think they are, and a mapsize is suggested, I should have a server of some sort doable tonight or tomorrow. Probably tomorrow.
Its leaning a bit on the favorable side I think rather than the tough side to start, feel free to suggest if i was too nice to things or if it doesn't work at all or something.
