[Zephyris]

Nicely done, little grfs like this make me happy

[ZxBiohazardZx]

maybe expand this with firs-set-like overhead buildings etc? (sheds/cranes etc from firs can be used)

Ahh yes, that'd look sweet. ISR always looks abit pants with FIRS cause of the different ground tiles, DWE Stations is closer but doesnt have as much variation as IRS. Personally, I think buffers should be next on the agenda, I might even have a crack!

[Kogut]

What about special no-track tile with buffer - now train hits buffer every single time.

Suggestion: removal of the crane from the dock so that they look suitable with passenger ships as well?

[Railwaymodeler]

May I suggest a non-track tile 'bumper' that is just the track leading off into the dirt or gravel? Many light industry sidings don't have a real bumper - instead just wheel chocks (Not likely to be visible in the game) and then just end in dirt or gravel.

A Hayes bumper would be nice otherwise.

like to report missing graphics when your have monorail and maglev. chips does not work here
and is it correct that chips gets put into default stations ? shouldn't it be in separate menu entries ?

[Yexo]

Known, too much work to fix right now.

and is it correct that chips gets put into default stations ? shouldn't it be in separate menu entries ?

Known, nobody has taken the time yet to code it otherwise.

[Dante123]

well, i have some experience with my own stations set, so i could help out a bit here

Suggestion: removal of the crane from the dock so that they look suitable with passenger ships as well?

Cranes are common even at purely passenger serving wharfs. How else do they load food, baggage etc on board?

If we had NewStations type support for docks, a ferry jetty would be nice though.
