Simutrans 86.03

[prissi]

95% bugfixing. I just played around with some smaller thingies:
- larger maps (beware 2048x2048 need about 1GB of memory and about 55min to generate on my old machine)
- longer trains (up to 24)
- many many bugfixes with the depot (new tabs, retirement, redraw errors), so I may have introduced many new errors
- citycars can now change with age
- support for station building added
- atomatically build a support for post offices (and station buildings) on slopes

New pak64 (needed due to new factory settings and citycars):

Sounds good

*attempt at getting some people to be impressed*

Just downloaded the game. Looks very nice, but:

• I can't see the terrein because of the trees
• The interface is so much different then what I'm used to

but graphics look really nice, keep up developing

[prissi]

The trees are hidden by " (Shift 2)

And I found the TTD user interface very overcrowded and counterintuitive. But that really depends on what one knows.
