Simutrans got planes!!!

Breeze646 · Post by **Breeze646** » 24 Jul 2006 16:03

I just downloaded the most recent verson and they have planes!!!

Also they got Monorails.
Maglevs in the 64 verson.

Monorails can go above the buildings so basicly they are more like a Elevated Rail System so there's no need for a Subway now!!!

Also you can build Highways too. Divided.

You can build Canals too.

Simutrans is starting to be beter then Loco. Just a few graphic improvements and voila. It's beter.

Also Simutrans now has Traffic Lights too!!!

Is it also true for the 128 version?

Planes are there since 88.00 and PBS since 88.10.5 or so. Trams and Monorails/Maglev are older though. This aqplies for all sets.

Thanks for the reply. I wonder if the movement issues have been corrected as well - haven't played Simutrans for ages though I never argued that it's a great game.

The current discussion is more found in forum.simutrans.com.

The moving algorithm is rather the same as in TT, but the rails show curves, so the optical alignment is worse. (Although there is also a set of straight diagonals rails instead of curves). This more noticeable in the 128 set, but not easy to change without introducing lot of new images.

Since 75% graphics are handdrawn, such extra view would be a lot of work for eyecandy, this was the result of the discussion. Well, lets see if the new engine for OTTD will have more views ... Their graphics are also looking quite nice.

Well, thanks a lot for the reply. Surely I'll give a try - the new monorails and planes are surely worth it!

In the 128 verson there is just the monorail and airplanes but in the 64 verson they have maglevs and monorails and airplanes.

I sure think it's great now. I always liked it though.

Downloader 8!!!

The new usage of the PBS system could make it easier for a TTDPlayer to use Simutrans. Need to test Simutrans again ... great work prissi! So when do we get Multplayer?

I would like some Multiplayer system!!!

But untill then I'm playing with my friends by using the Player Changer Feature. Since I know the most about it. I'm the "Human". No one is Public Service but the Public Service has sort of gone Bankrupt though...

Well, the problem with multiplayer is the currently not fixed frame rate and my complete lack of network programming ability. Also, I am too lazy to get to the point of rewriting the simwerkz.cc for the use with a network. Furthermore some dialoges need also a network enabling.

Two persons have been working on the network, although I never heard something from them lately (or rather in the last four months). I would be open to anybody to give it a try ...

Okay well I signed up on your forum for Simutrans. Well really I've been signed up for a long time but I just didn't do anything. I added my avatar from this account to it so you should be able to reconize it.
