New Horse! Notably, many translations updated. Thanks translators!
-------------
1.8.0 Release
-------------
Not savegame compatible with previous versions of Iron Horse.
*Features*
- add Aberdare 2-6-0 freight engine
- rebalanced power of early freight engines (previously for many routes it made more sense to use the equivalent express engine, as it had more power)
- re-balanced Cargo Sprinter for express freight
- lower power, but with very low costs
- with no wagons attached, Cargo Sprinter will reach top speed quickly
- 1 or 2 wagons can be hauled per Cargo Sprinter, but acceleration will be slower
- add as many Cargo Sprinters to the consist as you need, they're affordable
- add vehicle transporter car (no cargo graphics yet)
- covered hoppers now refit to rubber cargo
- refit support for FIRS Cassava, Edible Oil, Nuts and Vehicles cargos
- refit and cargo graphics for FIRS Phosphate
*Fixes*
- improved offsets for vehicles longer than 8/8
- Cargo Sprinter refits didn't match intermodal cars
*Language Updates*
- many languages

Fixed, thanks
Meanwhile...plans for Iron Horse...
Brit roster is mostly done.
- likely to add one or two pre-1865 engines
-
possibly an earlier generation of wagons
-
possibly add a second generation of narrow gauge wagons
- add more cargo graphics
Other
- future train type, maglev or similar, but current maglev tracks are ugly ugly ugly
- more rosters, not saying what, but we have plans
Screenshots posted here always help motivate more work.
Also feedback - positive or even negative (if presented usefully).

Very nice set! The game with this set was so much fun!
One thing that seems odd to me is that there is no 3rd gen tanker wagon for chemicals. Are you planning to include one?

Currently that's by design, there are a few of cargos (Oil / Chemicals, Livestock) for which there are 'speed limits', so no 3rd gen tanker or livestock wagons.
I could add a 3rd gen tanker. Is it really missed?

Now that I made some research on the topic it seems to me that it is reasonable to have speed limits on tanker wagons. I wouldn't mind having a 3rd gen tanker wagon, though.

Great set!. The only thing that is missing is at least one modern High-Speed Train (like TGV or ICE).

Screamer not enough?
(is 155mph, 6400hp)
Originally the plan was to add maglev for high speed, but that hasn't quite happened

Well the ICE goes about 200mph, the TGV is even a little bit faster. From 155mph it's more or less 33% difference.

A high speed Pax/goods maglev would make me a very happy bunny.

How to make it work correctly with Nutracks?
It doesn't recognize metro or narrow gauge rails.
Thermite is ok to use but it would be good to have more variety in speed/cost for rails and better graphics than default one.
Thank you.

I don't know
I tested with Nutracks r247 and got the same result as you - no metro, no narrow gauge.
It's a mystery eh?
EDIT: in the Nutracks parameters, try:
- 'automatic train set detection' off
- 'force..' on for all third rail and narrow gauge track types
That got me narrow gauge trains on narrow gauge, and metro trains on 3rd rail.
Someone who uses Nutracks might know a better way.

I keep automatic train detection on and just force enable Metro and narrow gauge if needed.

Forcing metro tracks allows bulding both metro trains and regular trains on metro tracks in Nutracks.
When using thermite tracks metro and regular trains are separated.

This behaviour of the trains is controlled by the railtype newgrf, not by the train newgrf
According to newgrf documentation here, NuTracks should have MTRO support.
https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/RailtypeLabels However NuTracks code on devzone doesn't appear to have the MTRO label.
So what NuTracks actually does with MTRO, I don't know.
There is a NuTracks thread here
viewtopic.php?f=26&t=47347
If anyone who knows NuTracks better wants to comment...Iron Horse railtypes are below
Code: Select all
railtypetable {
RAIL,
ELRL,
MGLV,
METRO: [MTRO, "3RDR", ELRL],
NG: [NAAN, NGRL, NLOW, NAAE, NBAN, ENLW, ENHI, ELNG],
ELNG: [NAAE, ENLW, ENHI, ELNG]
}
