PAK128.german_VS2.1.beta.zip
The beta also runs with Release 122.0, but because of the fords and the level crossings, a current nightly is recommended.

And ones more it is Christmas. 

The Team Pak128.German wishes all Simutrans players a quiet beautiful Merry Christmas.



And again there is a surprise.
Again, the team puts the beta of the upcoming Version 2.1 beneath the Christmas tree. 
But it is not the same as from last year.

We have now arrived at Version 2.1.beta (Rev.470)   
PAK128.german_VS2.1.beta.zip
The beta also runs with Release 122.0, but because of the fords, level crossings and the scenario "Oktoberfest", a current nightly is recommended.

We would like to have made this version a release, but unfortunately the new program version takes a little more time.
We wish you a lot of fun during the Christmas holidays and in the quiet time after.

What's new in Version 2.1.beta (Rev.470) compared to Release 2.0?

Happy Christmas! Thank you for your gift! I'll upload the new version asap.

Can I ask if any of the bugs reported by Huperspace for pak128.german and marked as "Waiting for feedback" or "Fix in progress" here has changed status with this new release? https://github.com/orgs/simutrans/projects/1

town can't extend it's border

can not extend over dual rail --> this will stay
but if there is a station then the city can extend at the other side of the station
but there is a need of a street, the city can not build new streets at the other side

new: Houses are now preferably built near stops. Also opposite larger railway stations.

continued ....
