The International Simutrans Forum

A new version of Simutrans-Experimental is available to-day: Simutrans 110.6 Experimental 9.12. See here (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=1894.0) for more information on how to download, install and set up the latest version. For those already familiar with the installation and setup, here are some quick links:

• Windows binaries (https://github.com/downloads/jamespetts/simutrans-experimental/simutrans-experimental.zip)
• Linux binaries (http://www.43-1.org/~simutrans/simutrans-exp/amd64/simutrans-exp-2011-07-12-186ac7a) (x64)
• Linux binaries (http://www.43-1.org/~simutrans/simutrans-exp/i386/simutrans-exp-2011-07-12-186ac7a) (i386)
• Linux binaries (i386 - no graphics server) (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P65ISOZ3)
• Configuration files (https://github.com/downloads/jamespetts/simutrans-experimental/simutrans-experimental-config.zip)

Edit: Added links to Linux binaries.

Note that the Windows binaries contain the Windows version of the no-graphics server. Neither Makeobj nor the configuration files have changed for this release and last changed for version 9.9. This is predominantly a bug-fix release, which fixes a number of issues identified in the previous version (including a problem with industry generation), and incorporates some GUI fixes from Standard, but also adds one new feature: a better handling of gradients (which mean that gradients have a greater effect on vehicles than previously, the effects being spread out over a number of tiles).

The changes between versions 9.10 and 9.11 are listed below; only Experimental changes are shown.

Changes

• REVERT: Do not show duplicates of industry types where multiple industries have the same colour.
• FIX: Inaccuracies in calculating target industry density causing problems with maintaining industry balance through the game.
• CHANGE: Updated the credits
• FIX: (Vehicle replacer) If a replace is cleared after the convoy has already been sent to a depot, the convoy will no longer go to the depot.
• CHANGE: Spread the effect of gradients over more tiles, and make gradients properly cumulative in effect.

Feedback and testing

Thanks also to all those who have tested Simutrans-Experimental and provided useful feedback: it is very much appreciated. Any feedback from this version would, as ever, also be very much appreciated, including (1) the new gradient handling; (2) online play (see here (http://simutrans-germany.com/serverlist_ex/) for a list of Simutrans-Experimental servers); (3) general bug reports; (4) information as to how well-balanced that the game is; (5) any difference in approach/strategy needed for Simutrans-Experimental as over Simutrans-Standard; and (6) any other useful feedback.

Thanks again to all those who have worked to test Simutrans-Experimental, and happy playing!
