A New Aurania
Ladies and gents, I am happy to announce that the proud flag of Aurania has been raised once more! Two years have passed since trains ran on the state railway following the invasion by the Kujuians, and sadly there are no pictures remaining of the old railway: it was utterly trashed and left forgotten under the RS regime which sought to introduce its own transportation methods. For two years the TRS2004 resistance went underground until the day dawned when it could overthrow the RS (basically, until I got bored with RS and realised what I was missing.). That day is now here, and our flag now flies proudly from the Senate:
A new government has now been formed, and one of its first tasks was to approve plans for a new railway to kick start the economy:
Next, a public committee was set up to find out why the Kujuian system failed to live up to expectations. A list of findings has been published:
-Dangers to road users from inactive level crossings.
-Losses to the economy caused by ships that didn't move.
-An inability to build new houses and buildings at a decent rate (a cut and paste feature that never worked properly in two years of use in other words)
-Electrification rendered far too costly (in terms of the time needed to install
individual catenary masts)
-Grounded aircraft. (No paths to get them airborne)
-Domestic product reduced to a fraction of that produced in 2007/8. (In other words, not much interactive industry going on.)
(Miscellaneous items also include a ridiculously difficult reskinning process, tedious scenario creation, and the inability to give commands to other drivers 'on the hop'.)
More on Aurania soon.
Best wishes,
Padster
