| 1 | Bug | Vehicle Maintenance, Replacing | Train breaks down while it's stopped, making it difficult to replace multi-headed trains with low reliability. | (I haven't experienced this myself, but if this is so, it should be fixed.) | ######## | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 172 % | 10 % | 80 % |
| 194 | Bug | Vehicle Maintenance, Purchase | Buying and selling a single train a few times after each other has been reported to crash Locomotion to the desktop. | (I couldn't get this to happen on my machine. I have v. 4.02.169 uk.) | ######## | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 104 % | 20 % | 5 % |
| 2 | Bug | Vehicle Behavior, Signal | Trains don't always select the free track when in a junction with double signals. It has been reported to happen when there are more than 5 choices for the train. http://www.punar.net/games/loco/WrongPlatform.PNG | (I have experienced this at stations myself.

| 214 | Bug | Vehicle Behavior, Signal | Two different road and rail tracks interfere with one another if they have curves that overlap the same terrain square even though they don't even touch. See http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=12530 | Since two trains that ignore
signals and meet on such a terrain tile don't crash, they shouldn't get a red
light in the first place. Either make them crash or give them green
light. The road vehicles behave nearly as they should because of the slacky driving algorithm so they aren't a problem. |

| 3 | Bug | Vehicle Behavior, Routing | When clicking an order in the routing window and then clicking load/unload, the load/unload order appears above the selected order instead of below. | The load/unload order should appear below the selected destination so that the load/unload process takes place there. | ######## | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 109 % | 7 % | 10 % |
| 4 | Bug | Vehicle Behavior, Road | Trucks stop when they are overtaken. | Don't stop when overtaken. It's very annoying and unrealistic. | ######## | 1 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 109 % | 40 % | 15 % |

| 6 | Bug | Construction, Signal | Railway signals don't update when you build a new junction into an existing track - causing trains to crash when expanding tracks. The same problem applies to crashed trains. When they are removed signals still show red as if the train's still there. | Update rail signals when you build a junction. | ######## | 1 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 140 % | 50 % | 80 % |
| 8 | Bug | Construction, Track | When you raise land under a bridge to the level of the bridge, the image of the bridge turns to normal track, but the track is still marked as a bridge. | This is misleading to the player since he can't edit the track without deleting it and rebuilding. Also bridge speed limit applies even though the track looks like normal ground track. Either keep the image after raising land, or change track status to the same as the image shows. | ######## | 1 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 113 % | 35 % | 20 % |
| 7 | Bug | Construction, Track | The longest rail curves and the diagonals can be built on land that is raised in one corner so that some of the land is covering part of the track. | Auto alter terrain while building or don't allow building so that terrain covers the track. | ######## | 2 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 111 % | 30 % | 15 % |
| 210 | Bug | Construction, Track | Bridges are created where they don't need to be on the longest and the shortest rail curves and the diagonals. This happens on flat land where one corner of the land is lowered. Although the land that the track lies upon is completely flat, the game creates a bridge. | The game should treat flat land as flat even though one corner has been lowered. | ######## | 3 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 109 % | 40 % | 15 % |
| 222 | Bug | Construction, Track, Road | When low on funds, and trying to build a piece of track on a piece of land that has been altered so that the piece of track you're trying to build is cheaper than it would otherwise be, the red warning box that comes up explaining that you can't afford to build something is not updated with the new price of the piece of track you're trying to build although the construction box is. | When the construction box correctly says a piece of track on an evenly sloped terrain costs 250 to build, the warning should not pop up and say you can't afford it because you don't have 750 (which is what it costs on an unevenly sloped terrain). | ######## | 1 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 101 % | 50 % | 1 % |
| 9 | Bug | Window, Track Construction | In the German version of the game, you can't see the max speed of the bridges cause the translation is too long. | ######## | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 127 % | 10 % | 30 % | |
| 217 | Bug | Window, Town View, Growth Tab | The scale of the Town Growth graph is usually way out of sync with the towns population. With small towns, the graph is always scaled for 5000 people so it's hard to see actual fluctuations for very small towns. With large towns, the graph is always scaled for around 50-70% of the actual town size, so much (even all sometimes) of the graph is outside the boundaries of the window. | The scale should follow the town's actual size. | ######## | 1 | 1 | 10 | 3 | 1 | 105 % | 10 % | 6 % |
| 10 | Bug | Transport, Passenger & Mail | Some
stations in the middle of nowhere produce passengers and mail. Most stations near industries have ratings for passengers and mail. |
This is reported by several people. (I have v. 4.02.169 uk. I have had station platforms nowhere near town buildings that produce 100 passengers and 40 bags of mail a month) | ######## | 1 | 0 | 1 | 4 | 1 | 130 % | 25 % | 40 % |
| 11 | Bug | Transport, Cargo | Route-through
stations don't know where cargo comes from Route through stations will only remember where the first cargo load came from. |
This is a bug that can easily
be exploited. It's a bit work to fix, since a fix means that each load of
cargo needs a new variable for every location that the cargo comes from.
In the Vehicle Consist window, instead of writing 20 tons of coal from Btown for every wagon, it would say " 120 tons of coal from Aville, 60 tons of coal from Btown, 20 tons of coal from Ccity, 200 tons total" |

| 193 | Bug | Game Setup | Save games sometimes go corrupt. The game will display an error message: 'This save game contains invalid data'. | Either fix the problem, or make
the auto save feature create a new save game every year, and alternate
between 2-3 save games. To avoid getting a save game folder with thousands of save games, make the game auto create a new save game folder for every scenario (not for every game, just for every scenario). (I, Punar, haven't experienced this on my machine, I have v. 4.02.169 uk) |

| 15 | Bug | Environment, Sound | SoundBlaster Live card owners have problems with sound effects working only for a short while and then drops out completely. | Software buffering seems to help, and setting sounds to medium quality seems to help. Some people need to increase the number of channels in the SB Live control panel (if you have one). And decreasing hardware acceleration has helped once. | ######## | 1 | 0 | 1 | 8 | 1 | 106 % | 70 % | 20 % |
| 14 | Bug | Environment, Graphics | There are reports of white objects (Airports and wagons) in the game. The bug affects only some objects in the game (I saw a screenshot of a train with 3 white wagons and 4 normal colored wagons). The objects work fine other than the color. | Weird, isn't it? | ######## | 1 | 0 | 4 | 8 | 1 | 107 % | 30 % | 10 % |

| 218 | Bug | Gameplay, AI Construction, Tram | AI sometimes tries to build a tram station onto another AI's bus stop. Instead of a tram station in both ends of the tram track, it has a tram station in one end and another company's bus stop in the other. | Since this leads to the AI's unproffitable tram to just go round and round for a few months till the owner gives up, it would be nice if it was fixed. | ######## | 1 | 2 | 1 | 9 | 1 | 102 % | 65 % | 5 % |

| 216 | Bug | Objects, Vehicles, Rail | There is no Power car for the EW-IV train. So this train can't even be built even if you're running an Alpine scenario. | There should be a Power car or the locomotive should have an engine. | ######## | 1 | 2 | 2 | 10 | 1 | 110 % | 33 % | 15 % |
| 215 | Bug | Objects, Vehicles, Rail | The only Mail Car (Parcel Van) for the UK scenarios that was introduced in 1956 becomes obsolete in 2100. All other cargo types for all have wagons that can be bought indefinently. | Since there is always a wagon available for all other cargo types in all scenarios after 2100, this wagon should too. | ######## | 2 | 2 | 2 | 10 | 1 | 109 % | 10 % | 10 % |

| 206 | Bug | Economy, Industry | Cargo arriving at a station
where there are two or more cargo accepting industries (like a factory) in
the catchment area is not distributed evenly. One factory takes all the
cargo. In one case, one factory received 14 000 tons of chemicals and steel. It produced 7905 tons of goods. The other factory in the same stations catchment area received 0 tons of chemicals and steel. But it also produced 7905 tons of cargo (which probably is another bug). |
All factories within the catchment area should get a portion of the cargo. | ######## | 2 | 0 | 1 | 11 | 1 | 100 % | 80 % | 1 % |
| 200 | Bug | Economy, Transport Payment | When vehicles are lifted of the track, their monthly profit doesn't decline. This can be used to cheat in scenarios where the goal is to make a certain profit per month by lifting a profitable train, selling the engine and most of the wagons, and using the money received to purchase a new train. (Tested with v. 4.02.169 uk.) | Update the profit of unpositioned vehicles in the same way as stopped vehicles. | ######## | 1 | 0 | 3 | 11 | 1 | 108 % | 20 % | 10 % |
| 24 | Wish (Punar) | Vehicle Maintenance, Replacing | Replacing
vehicles takes too long. 1. View vehicle, 2. Stop vehicle and wait, 3. Click maintenance, 4. Drag vehicle (all engines and wagons be dragged), 5. Purchase new, 6. Sometimes place vehicle back on track, 7. Click View train, 8. Click Go, 9. Close window. |
Remove step 1, 2 and 3 by
setting in options a minimum reliability for vehicles (like 10% or so). When
a vehicle reaches that level it continues to the next station, stops,
unloads, and it's maintenance window pops. along with a message about it's
reliability. The game should only auto start the "stop at next station and pop up maintenance window" procedure for one vehicle at a time. |

Reduce step 1 to 8 to a Auto
Replace Vehicles option that can be set individually for the different
vehicle types. Players also have option to optimize vehicle length depending
on station size. In order for the latter to happen, the above mentioned fix to maintain vehicles only in stations and maintenance areas must first be implemented. Trains may get more or fewer wagons depending on station length if the option to optimize vehicle length is set. Trucks may add a wagon since that is always optimized (I believe). Don't let track section become occupied by another vehicle while replacing. Game must check Load and Unload orders to know which wagons that can be purchased. Players get more time to have fun with the game. They may sometimes get undesired results such as trains running around with only one wagon or suddenly run out of money, but they'll learn. |

Reduce step 4 & 5 to a one
click Replace Vehicle Button. Simple version: When you click this button, what happens is as if the engine and all the wagons are dragged to the dustbin (as opposed to clicking the dustbin to delete the entire vehicle) and then the purchase window pops up. Advanced Replace Vehicle button: Holding the Replace Vehicle button gives three options - 1: Replace Entire Vehicle (to replace engine and wagons) , 2: Replace Engine Only and 3: Replace Cars Only Don't let track section become occupied by another vehicle while replacing. This will also ease replacing crashed vehicles. |

Reduce step 4 & 5 to an
Auto Replace Vehicle Button. Route information should be preserved. Holding it down also reveals the following choices: Auto Replace Engine With Same Model Auto Replace Entire Vehicle Same models Auto Upgrade Engine To Newest Similar Model Auto Upgrade Entire Vehicle To Newest Similar Models Auto Upgrade Cars To Newest Similar Models (game checks route load/unload information to see what kind of cargo new cars must hold) Game must check Load and Unload orders to know which wagons that can be purchased and must reduce number of wagons if new wagons are longer than the old. |

Holding it down also reveals the following choices: Replace Engines, Replace Entire Vehicle, Replace Wagons If selecting Replace Engines for instance, the first engine of the vehicle starts to flash and the purchase window pops up. Click on a new engine in the purchase window to replace the flashing engine with the new one. Then the next engine starts to flash. If Wish 96 (show length of train) is not implemented, then a warning somewhere in the vehicle window should tell if the new vehicle parts make the total vehicle length longer than before. The game could check what vehicle part is being replaced and when the purchase window pops up just show the engines or wagons that are of the same type as the ones being replaced. |

Remove step 6 (almost) by
allowing maintenance of vehicles only on station and maintenance areas,
keeping the track section marked as occupied while the vehicle is being
replaced, and warning if user builds vehicle too long for the platform. Player must still sometimes manually place vehicles (trains) if they are too long for the platform No more trains sticking one pixel out of the platform clogging up signals and confusing beginners. Much less repositioning of vehicles which is one of the most annoying things about replacing vehicles. |

| 36 | General wish | Vehicle Maintenance, Misc | There
are no depots. People are missing TTDX depots. Or a vehicle maintenance area
(which for trains is like a station but with maintenance functionality
instead of cargo functionality). Or it could be possible to place a
maintenance unit onto a station. As a vehicle drives along the track, reliability should sink due to time since last service. When it reaches a certain % (can be set in options) it will need maintenance the next time it arrives at a maintenance area or a station. If reliability is still at a decent level, the vehicle will not stop and spend time on this. For trains, maintenance should be done at station or maintenance areas (which are built as a type of station). Road vehicles can be serviced at depots like in TTDX or in cargo/passenger terminals. |
Trains' reliability improves after each visit to a station and degrades the longer it has taken since last station visit. Player can build "maintenance area" as a station type along the route to improve reliability on long routes and trains will stop there if necessary. He can also build it as a siding so it can be used to place new trains on busy tracks. In that case the train needs some AI to find the area when it needs it which is better than in TTDX, i.e. it will continue towards the next station and only stop at maintenance areas along it's way. New vehicles are also placed at stations or maintenance areas. New vehicles are also placed in maintenance areas or at stations instead of anywhere on track |

| 207 | Wish (Punar) | Vehicle Maintenance, Misc | Reliability decreases only because a vehicle gets older. In real life, well maintained old vehicles can have higher reliability than new ones because maintenance workers have more experience with it, and poor design faults have been fixed. | Reliability should be a combined function of how many vehicles of each specific type are in use, how long it's been since it was introduced and the vehicles age. | ######## | 2 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 9 % | 40 % | 15 % |

Ships could still be a bit
better to find routes on their own. There's an old labyrinth algorithm that
says if you don't know the route, follow your right/left side infinitely and
you'll finally get there. That algorithm doesn't work for all kinds of labyrinths (or in this case maps). For this purpose a combination of the old algorithm (which probably can be improved too) and this algorithm could be an improvement. If boat hasn't reached destination within a time period depending on the estimated straight-line distance between it's destinations, then a message pops up saying "it's lost, set waypoints". |

If some parts of track don't get maintained in 2 years, it starts to get weak (can be shown graphically), and fast heavy trains may derail, or road vehicles may experience breakdowns and loss of reliability. |

This is perhaps built into the game so that you can't bankrupt an opponent by having a better transport service at that industry. This is exploited by building several 1-line stations next to an industry instead of one multiline station. |
If the theory is right then it should be fixed so that production increase does not depend on the number of stations, but rather on % transported cargo of the monthly production. | ######## | 1 | 0 | 1 | 11 | 2 | 16 % | 20 % | 20 % |

find the industry shut down after the first delivery. Oil wells and Coal/Iron-mines closure should (and perhaps is) depend on how much oil/coal/iron has been dug up instead of time.

| 187 | Wish (Punar) | Economy, Industry | Refining industry (like factories) take any cargo they can get, no matter if they can get the end product transported away or not. | Demand for raw products should
depend on transportation away from the refining industry, Goods and Food must
therefore be transported away to increase demand for raw material. Demand for
coal at power plants would increase if there are large towns nearby, demand
for goods, food, mail, passengers in towns would depend on population. The cargo must be followed and made sure that it is delivered to somewhere that accepts it. Otherwise this would just be exploited by setting up bogus load/unload routes from the refining industry to a receiving station. If implemented, the earlier described wish about having the number of passengers entering trains depend on waiting passengers at other stations would have to be reconsidered. |

rail tracks, roads, bridges, stations and oh, airports etc should cost

least make distance be calculated as the shortest distance between the
closest corners of the stations instead of from the middle of the stations.
I also thought payment could depend on the distance between the industries instead of the stations, but that could be exploited the other way (distance between stations of 1 unit for two industries that are 20 units apart or so). Since you don't get paid for the length of the station any more, it may pay off to use short stations for short distance tracks. |

| 109 | General wish | Economy, Passengers | Passenger transport: The way it
is now, it doesn't matter how far a vehicle goes, the same amount of
passengers will be attracted to the vehicle anyway. That means that airplanes
moving people to the other side of the map attracts just as many passengers
as a bus moving people downtown. A bit more realistic would be if the station rating depended on the distance to the stopping vehicle's destinations. There could be 4 rating variables instead of 1. One for local traffic (less than 15 squares, perfect for buses, value of this would be 0-60%), one for medium distance traffic (15-50 squares, this one would be 0-30%), one for long distance (more than 50 squares, this could be 0-10%), and one that just adds those three up. The latter one is the one shown when you look at the stations rating. So when a vehicle stops on a station, the game engine would look at the vehicle's other destinations. If the vehicle also stops at a station less than 15 squares away, the local rating would increase. If it has a stop 100 squares away, the long distance rating would increase. |
If this is implemented, you
would also need a variable for each of the three station approval ratings
(poor, good, excellent etc). And the displayed approval rating would be the
highest of those three. Since this approach improves the value of local passenger service (and therefore buses) the first thing that is needed is an easier way to replace old vehicles (checkbox to auto replace all vehicles with reliability less than xx% with newest similar vehicle perhaps). This system probably seems to make airports useless. However, if you attach a bus service to the airport, local buses could increase the rating of the airport to 70% which adds even more to the realistic experience since you now need to transport passengers to and from the airport. This system would need to mark groups of passengers with origin and destination locations. So the train consist window will say something like "20 passengers from Acity to Cville, 35 passengers from Acity to Dtown, 12 passengers from Bpolis to Dtown, 67 passengers total - 180 seats". |

| 110 | Wish (Punar) | Economy, Passengers | Passenger transport: The way it
is now, it doesn't matter where a vehicle goes, the same amount of passengers
will climb aboard whether the vehicle goes to a lonely hut or to a metropolis
center. Passengers should go somewhere. Several ways to do this have been suggested. All I have seen creates problems with how much you should get paid for the transport. To make this work, you must add one variable for each location that passengers come from (in the same manner as the route through stations should be fixed). The way the game functions now, trains can only remember one origin location per cargo (which is a bug since sometimes you want to pick up cargo from several locations at route-through stations). In order to implement passengers destinations, trains need to know where cargo comes from and where passengers (and mail) are going (other cargo don't need a destination) |
How many should get on the
train: Repeat: People climbing aboard would be MIN (PeopleOnThisStation; MaxCapacityOfVehicle; Multiplier * PeopleAtNextStationOnThisVehicle'sRoute).: until all following stations on the route have been processed (up to 4 perhaps so the list of passengers doesn't get too long) I found that a Multiplier value of 2 works fine. Too low and the formula is too extreme. Too high and we're back to where we are now. So the train consist window could instead of listing cargo in each wagon, say "20 passengers from Acity to BTown, 35 passengers from Acity to Cpolis, (55 passengers total - 180 seats)" |
