Simutrans 110.0

[prissi]

This is the first version incorporating multiplayer and tons of bugfixes/improvements. Due to network mode we had to have this long break. The next releases will come more frequently.

MS Windows user should use the
Online-Installer (Note: If you are on Windows Vista or 7, you will probably need to right-click the downloaded file you save from the above link and choose "Run as administrator". If the installer appears to work, but no "C:\Program Files\Simutrans" folder is made, this is why: run as administrator)

If you want to download manually, you will need an executable and a pak-set.
