Manifest Destiny. This scenario, which runs from 1843 until 1993, is suitable for players of all skill levels. It covers the continental US, as well as portions of Mexico and Canada. This version of the map uses random placement of industries and resources.

First of all this is a Great map, But The goal from Washington to San Francisco by 1880, that is only 37 years. To start off you only have small Towns, with very few passengers, and mail. So there is very little money to be made, I even started to give them food to help them grow.
This is a wonderful map though I think it has a glitch. None of the steel mills produce any steel when supplied with coal or ore.
I get a runtime error every time I start this map…any ideas?
Are you sure you do not have any other maps installed?
I found the same issue with the steal mills. I bought a mill in Cleveland and it never produced any steal, although the mill did generate profits.
Steel is produced from “IRON ORE”, gold is produced from ore, the steel mills will accept coal and pay for it, but it will not produce anything. (Ashes maybe:>) ).
To make money from passengers and mail, you have to replace your depots with terminals.
Looks like an interesting map – I can start it and play for about a year and then it crashes with the useless “you should notify Microsoft” message. I made the 3G change to my boot.ini file and downloaded the option for the railroad file – anyone have any other suggestions?
Have you had any troubles with other maps?
This is the authors note:
“My two testers found that they had to put the two FPK files in CustomAssets in order for this map to work. I myself was able to run it with the FPKs in UserMaps. If at first you don’t succeed, put them in the other location.”
Let me know if works.
Meanwhile I’ll do some more checking
If it crashes again, we have to know what were you trying to do at the moment of the crash. Like bulding a new train, loading a certain good, or trying to haul a good at a certain city, etc……..
