Most of these menus can be configured from within a running game as well. Difficulty Settings lets you configure settings that affect the difficulty of playing the game. These include when your (computer-controlled) competitors can start building, how many of them there are, and how intelligent they are. You can also control how much the subsidy mutliplier is for subsidised routes, and how stable/volitile the in-game economy is.

You can also have stations spreading across far larger distances, allowing a large rail station to be connected to a large airport, for instance. However, there is an even more noticable difference in rail station construction. You may now add platforms and lenght to a station after it has been built, and you may also add platforms of a different type. Users of TTDPatch will be used to this behaviour. But beyond what TTDPatch has, you can make stations of uneven lenght/width, and even ones with perpendicular tracks. You can also delete single tiles or tracks from a station, by holding down Shift before pressing the station construction button. 2.3 Checkpoint Stations -Checkpoint stations (the small blue item in the rail construction window) are small 1x1 stations. They must be built on top of pre-existing track. They do not accept or produce carge of any kind. They exist solely for use as route points. They become useful when dealing with large networks where trains may attempt to route themselves along undesirable or impossible routes. As an alternative to checkpoint stations, you can also direct trains to visit depots along the way. This has the advantage of also servicing the train and hence the train will rarely to never need to depart from its route to be serviced. +Checkpoint stations (the small blue item in the rail construction window) are small 1x1 stations.
