JGR's Patchpack version 0.72.4
This is a collection of features and other modifications applied to OpenTTD.
It's a separate version of the game which can be installed and played alongside the standard game, not a loadable mod (NewGRF, script, or so on).
This is mainly intended to be used by players who are already familiar with the standard game and how to play it.
It is not aimed at beginner/novice players. Some features and settings are there for very experienced players and so may have a steep learning curve.
OpenTTD is a transport simulation game based upon the popular game Transport
Tycoon Deluxe, written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original
game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.
