Currently we have 4 Server Operators:

Frank, ST2, Wacko1976, Inscius!

We are badly looking for moderators!

Want to be part of the team?! Want to help?! Read below...

 
NOTE:
Admins will act on the basis that ALL players know the game and it's mechanics.
We think that no one goes to an online game without first some practice and know how to play it.
Companies without registered nicknames (as shown in Client List) on it, can be reset without warning!
To learn OpenTTD mechanics, there is a forum/wiki and... a Single Player mode!!
Practice before playing on BTPro, and if you decide to start, READ THE RULES first.

 
If you wish to become part of the BTPro Server Operator family, ensuring that the rules are upheld with fairly and justly,
the willingness to teach new players on how to play the game and to make sure BTPro is one of the most relaxed,
entertaining servers out there for OpenTTD then apply in the Moderator Applications section below!

Also do not hesitate to ask us a question in the forums or when you see us online on one of the servers!

Happy Gaming!

Sorry but I still don't think that's possible.

The speed of the trains available in 1970, their cost, the construction and running cost and the length in seconds of the year makes that profit and expense in the first 365 game days almost certainly impossible.

I may be new in the forum, but I've been playing TT since the first years after its release.

Please enter the server and start from day 0, try to reproduce the finances of that first year, then tell me how close you get. I just did that, I reached $104.000 and had only $6.000 to spare by december 30, 1970.

If my english is not proper enough, I'm sorry, but my native language is spanish.

Andrex,

Even IF it would be a bug, it's will be a bug in the OpenTTD code which makes this possible.

We are a OpenTTD community, but we are not the maintainers of the code of OpenTTD, therefor I think that IF you encounter a bug you should ask the OpenTTD team for help to fix that.

At this moment I think it's best if you just make a posting on the OpenTTD forum directly with your concerns although I'm still not certain that this is indeed a bug. Maybe they will be able to answer you how "things are possible". Their forum is:

tt-forums.net

Sorry we can't be of any assistance.

OK, I understand that it's not BTpro's fault, but just don't take this for a n00b issue like the first replies did because that is very offensive. I don't know if it's an error, a bug, an exploit, a money patch or what, but I certainly know it's not possible under normal conditions.

Reporting this in the tt-forums will be a waste of time because they'll probably say it's a server issue and wash their hands on the matter one way or the other. I had a recent exchange of opinions with the developers there, and in most cases they don't take forum reports seriously as long as they are not directly affected by the issue.

First of all, The_Dude isn't affiliated with BTPro and I didn't call you a noob, I just pointed out that there's nothing wrong with the financial overview you posted. It all matches up, which makes it less likely it's a bug imho. If it is a cheat in some way, it shows up in the financial overview as train income, which I find very odd. Wouldn't it show up as 'other' income, or not even at all?

I still think the income is quite high, but I also still believe it isn't impossible. The only thing I can see from the picture is that you're using electrified rails while you use diesel trains, which is a waste of money, so is the double station where you only use 1 part, bridges aren't cheap either.

Again, I wasn't there to see it, maybe he sold the trains at the end of the route and rebought them at the beginning, which is a cheat. Or maybe he just got lucky with the map and made a great 2-way.

Imho the chance of it being some moneycheat or bug is quite small. But Frank (and ST2 earlier) are right, if it is, you need to report it to the OTTD developers.

Ok, you challenged me to try and reproduce the income from the screenshot, I went a 100k over it without using cheats or breaking server rules.

I think this proves that there is no moneybug and that you can still improve your gameplay a lot if you get to 1/4 or 1/5 of this income.
