One of the first things I noticed of him was that in IRC he is one of the most smiling persons. And very helpful to noobs and newbies with big patience.

I hope I didn’t delete any real user accounts as I deleted all of them on instinct.

Track curves

written by tneo

In games it is important that trains can stay up to speed, for the best flow of a network. In recent games we’ve noticed that curves in particular often aren’t long enhough, causing trains to slow down.
