Just like Pacman

Unread postby Cardinal51 » Sun May 06, 2012 2:12 am

I am just a trainee, not a builder, I enjoy driving around and hauling stuff.

I noticed that sometimes the track / the world just ends. Isn't it possible to make those tracks connect to the other side of the route ?

Jus like Pacman. When he leaves the right side of the screen he shows up on the left side

Maybe add a tunnel and then at the end of the tunnel you are back at the other side of "the world"

PS: Pacman video removed

Or a train that goes so fast that you go back in time.

No, this is not a joke, I am being serious *!embar*!

Please don hang me *!lol!* and let me get you a drink !

It seems kind of unrealistic and unsatisfying to have a track ending in nowhere, especially when the only reason is that the route builder had to stop building (just because he can not go on forever). In real life that track goes on and on for thousands of more miles.

I got this idea when I was driving a route where the quality of the scenery got lower and lower, but I kept driving, then suddenly the world ended . . . no where to go, only option was to reverse. So I thought why not have a tunnel so I can pop up at the other end of the rail road. Just as many scale moddelers do when building a rail road, at the end of the track the train goes behind the scenes (is fiddle yard the correct word?) and circles back to the beginning of the rail road.

A better realistic option might be to have the track end at some kind of disaster. collapsed tunnel, flooded bridge, cattle on track, damaged track, rocks on track, train wreck, etcetera . . . . In that case it is very realistic and not unsatifying at all that one can not continue.

I like the last option, it makes more sense to have to stop due to a MOW crew than to loop around through a staging yard. *!!wink!!*
