OK, assuming your games start in 1930 with the default TTD vehicle set: - open the file ttdpatch.cfg in your TTD directory - find the line that starts with "startyear" - in that line, replace 1930 by 1950 - save & close That should fix it. Note for Josef: this is an example of where the wiki fails do to it's job. The NewStartingYear page doesn't point to a page explaining how to change this switch when "Configuration file: startyear\nCommand line: -XY" means very little to you. Maybe there is one, but I have also found no page with the default content of ttdpatch.cfg.
