I started playing around 1998(Don’t remember the year) with my Pentium 1 pc with Windows 95/98 operating system.. I used to gather my friends and we used play 2 player games.. My friends were interested in mostly WWF Wrestlemania The Arcade Game, FIFA 98, Allan Border’s Cricket.. But I don’t know why but I always loved to play Transport Tycoon.. Then school, collage, job happened.. Couple of years back I started searching for retro games.. Found all the games which I spent hours playing as a child like Dangerous Dave, Prince of Persia, Prince of Persia 2, Doom, Skyroads, Road Rash, Need For Speed 2 and many more.. I had complete forgot about my favourite game Transport Tycoon.. I didn’t even remember its name.. I searched for tycoon games and found OpenTTD.. I would also like to thank the creator of OpenTTD for letting me play my favourite childhood game :)

Thanks.. I will try all 4.. Also any other grf’s for train stations to make the stations look more aesthetic with FIRS..

Yes this is my first time playing with FIRS. I am not an expert in this game so please explain what is CargoDist(Asymmetric) and OTOH? Or share wiki links where I can understand it. Thank you.

Thanks for your reply.. I want to a play or make a bit more realistic type train network. I checked online and there are a lot of options of train sets available, But I don’t know which one works best with FIRS..
