Simutrans v121.0 - r8870 (win8.1)
This is known issue with game date exceeding 2999. I just couldn't really understand what people giving a fix were saying: "opening new world", or, "click settings", which I could not find.
I did this for PAK (PAK64):
BKP the actual game in Simutrans.
BKP the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Simutrans\pak\config\simuconf.tab" file.
RUN Notepad as Administrator, browse to and open "C:\Program Files (x86)\Simutrans\pak\config\simuconf.tab".
GO to subsection:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
###################################time stuff###################################
# Starting year of the game:
# Setting it below 1850 is not recommended for pak64 set!
# You will have problems with missing vehicles, do not complain if you do so!
# Setting it above 2050 will render game bit boring - no new vehicles.
#
# other recommended value for pak64 is 1956
#
starting_year = 1930
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CHANGE the subsection to read (add 'use_timeline = 0'):
