just a small question:

The Castle point steamer seems to be miss alligned :? Seems unlike other ships in the set this one like to go thru the side of the ship depot (see screenshot) instead of the middle. Also seems there is black dot following it when going from right to left over the screen

Something wrong with Nanaimo hovercraft - displayed speed over 140km/h, but visually very slow.
Not sure if it is FISH or rather openttd bug.
By the way, alpha version was (despite unbalanced costs) much better than RC3, in which many models are missing,
especially river barques.

Good spot. Bizarre bug. It goes incredibly slow in / and \ directions, whilst displaying 91 mph / 140km/h.
I think it's a weird interaction between the grf and openttd. There is some speed code in Squid, and I'll look there first, thanks.

They're just cruft, you don't need them for gameplay. I removed the cruft. ;)

At a guess: you're returning more than 8 bits in a speed callback. The display is working off the whole result, while the actual speed is truncated to the low byte.

The speed unit for ships is mph*3.2, which means the maximum speed of 0xff = 79 mph.

I do not agree with this point of view. First of all, separation between river/canal and sea vessels was a brilliant idea,
not only eye candy but also challenging.
Secondly, unlike trains, ships have fixed capacity - therefore it is not a bad feature, if there is large list of ships with different capacities.
I miss also Fedosyia hydrofoils and Capo Sandalo ferry. Where is log tug?
Paddle steamers are not expiring.
Price and running costs of hoovercrafts seems to be underestimated in comparison to other vessels (and if related to their real parameters, for example SR.N4 engines power was about 15000 hp!)

By the way, pity that there is no articulated option for ships.
Not only because of improved view of tugs, but with invisible trailer it would be also allow refit to multiple cargos.
For example, fast ferries (hydrofoil catamarans http://www.ferries.info/dodekanisos/ferries.htm, hoovercrafts etc) usually have huge passenger capacity, but small cargo capacity. If only one cargo is allowed, refitting to freight is like empty run.

Canals and rivers are stupid, it's better just to lower land to sea level and use the faster ships.

Gone, but not forgotten...

Unless terrainform base cost are high or very high.
I usually set relatively high terrainform cost to prevent vandalism.
Rivers are very good if there is many of them - usually this not applies to random map, in case of custom/real world maps
rivers play very important role (especially if infrastructure maintenance costs are turned on!)

Totally agree! I've played a number of games where river traffic was the key to the transportation on a river-heavy map, and loved those river/canal boats. Would hate to not seem them in the set anymore. :(

Add me to the river-boat obsessives brigade. I normally play with fairly high infrastructure costs, especially terraforming, and 'terraform the entire map' would be a totally stupid option.
In case it changes your mind, here are some pics:
[deleted, wrong boats]

I had a whole pile of coffee/fruit/farmsup barges too on a Reddit MP game, but forgot to save my own copy. :-(

Not everyone enjoys mindless terraforming or prioritises perfect efficiency over interest and looks. Some of us tweak parameters specifically to avoid that tradeoff. If you keep them out I'll just have to patch them back in locally, like when you dropped the Grocery Store etc names from FIRS, but I'd rather not. :)

@FLHerne - none of your screenshots show Squid river barges in use :P But anyway, they're gone from the "This Sceptred Isle" roster. Doesn't mean they're gone forever...

Also Squid RC5 Released on the bananas.

-------------------
Release Candidate 5
-------------------

*Fixes*

- Nanaimo 70 hovercraft speed was too high, causing it to travel too slowly (speed values above 79mph overflow to negative)
