View source for NARS Required and Recommended Patch settings

The [[North American Renewal Set]] requires a number of patches to be active to function correctly.  There are a number of additional settings which will add to the playing experience, but are not mandatory.

The minimum version requirements are TTDPatch 2.6 a0 r1889 or OpenTTD 0.6.1.  Additionally, to run the 'extended set' before the year 1920, you need to be using OpenTTD r13375 or later.  Older versions of OTTD or TTDPatch only have vehicles from 1920 onwards.

|A special "cargo" is used to allow the regearable locomotives to be refitted.
|-
|fullloadany
|Leave station when any cargo is full, if 'full load'
|The regearing cargo is, obviously, never loaded in stations, so the trains must be able to leave despite the locomotives being "empty".

Additionally, the set will be deactivated if other sets are loaded with the Dynamic Engine Pool patch in OTTD, unless the appropriate [[NARS GRF Parameter]] is set.

==Recommended Settings==

! TTDP !! OpenTTD !! Reason
|-
|freighttrains
|Weight multiplier for freight
|I would recommend setting this to at least 5.  There are many very powerful locomotives in the set, and you won't get full use of them otherwise.
|-
|curves and mountains
|Realistic acceleration
|Realistic physics will make the game more enjoyable.  The first digit of both "curves" and "mountains" in TTDP should be set to 3.
|-
|wagonspeedlimits
|Wagon Speed Limits
|This feature should be turned on to make best sense of the various locomotive types.
|-
|
|inflation
|Until a better solution is found, it is recommended to turn inflation '''off''' when playing before the year 1920.  Otherwise, extreme inflation becomes a problem later in the game.
