Extract the contents of the base graphics archive into this new folder and you are ready. Now you have to create a folder inside the game folder, name this new folder 'newgrf' (without the quotation marks). These so-called base graphics can be downloaded from the homepage of TTDPatch. TTDPatch uses additional graphics for certain features. Download this file and unzip the contents of the archive into the folder where the game is installed. You will be interested in the windows version, which is named something like TTDPatch-nightly-rXXXX-win32.zip, with a version number instead of the XXXX. The newest version of TTDPatch can be found at the directory for nightly releases. That solves the registry error, but now you get another message complaining about impossible access to the game CD (which is complete nonsense.).

To patch the registry you need to download the TTD Registry Editor. However, the game might start with wrong settings for graphics and sound then. I'll try to modify it just a little (tunnels instead of bridges for NE-SW, but I don't know if going down first helps getting more boost for the following slope).This step is optional, TTDPatch will circumvent any registry problems automatically. In my junction I have some slopes (the upper ring has very short zig-zag entries, which are a big slowdown element) and the two central bridges are indeed slowing down the trains going straight the long vanes and the large outer ring help avoiding jams, but I know this isn't the perfect solution. Quoting from the wiki ' Use at least a one-tile track segment between 45° turns longer is better' and ' S-shape bends do not slow down trains'. In the windwheel I have only 45° corners (there's always at least one straight block between corners). If I read the wiki right, speed penalties happen when you have a 90° corner. I don't know about the acceleration settings. You should be careful in placing depots, though, 'cause they tend to break pathfinding when the trains need servicing. I must say that I haven't fully grasped the concept of path signals, thus there are probably some more lights than the necessary. I don't use waypoints, 'cause (I was surprised myself) the pathfinding algorithm works very well with path signals, even without one-way signals (I used some just to make sure trains don't use exits as entrances for the upper ring, but it should work even with simple path signals).
