Hi all,
I have a problem with most maps I download from http://maps.simutrans.com not working. For example this map:
http://maps.simutrans.com/northamerica.html
Is half underwater and the rest of the terrain is desert even when I set water level to -10.
Is there a way to fix this? I would like to play with custom maps.
You have to set the climate borders to some sensible values. If you set the water level to -1 and the next climate is desert after that mediterrian at 0, then all levels between-10 and 0 are desert.

(Emphasis mine.)
I suppose you mean -10 and not -1.
Note that in the "Landscape Settings", climates can't start lower than -5, while going to the Landscape tab in the general settings allows to go down as far as the water level was when the window was opened. To achieve a setting of desert below -5, you'd have to open the Settings, change to the Landscape tab, set the water level to -10, close the settings window, open it again, switch to landscape tab again and then you should be able to set desert at -9.
