Iron Horse trains - releases

[Lurkmore]

Going to report a bug I noticed

Playing in Tropic, using In a Hot Country.

Narrow Gauge random flatbed cargo doesn't show farm cargo loaded in one direction.




edit: also doesn't show in any "straight" directions it seems, see second image

Images are missing?

Loads on my end. Wonder if it's an issue the site I used to upload them.

Let me edit it in.

It's working now, thanks for editing it.

Iron Horse 3.20.0 now on Bananas

3.20.0 Release

Not savegame compatible with Iron Horse releases before 3.20.0.

Changes

• changed vehicle availability parameter settings
  • removed parameters for 'Simplified gameplay' and 'Wagons-only mode'
  • added parameters for 'Engines' and 'Wagons', both with the following options:
    • 'All', 'Simplified', 'None'
  • this allows players a little more control over which engines and wagons are available
• rebalanced which engines are available for 'Simplified' setting, removing some but including others, to better cover core gameplay
• 'Simplified' wagons no longer includes Sliding Wall Vans, Scrap Wagons or Mineral Wagons
• added narrow gauge Rock Hoppers
• adjusted appearance of narrow gauge gen 3 Hoppers and Aggregate Hoppers, to make them more distinct

Docs

• update Code Reference page - mysys no longer relevant for Windows, and some other deps have changed

Fixes

• added pluralised group names for wagon variant groups that were missing them
• removed unintended curve speed bonus for ELRL (AC electrified rails)
• fixed missing cargo sprites for narrow gauge Plate Wagons

\o/

Glad to see an unexpected upgrade to simplified and wagons-only mode. Even when I want different engines, it's hard to give up Horse wagons -- I use wagons-only mode fairly often with NARS.

Playing the game for a bit.

Money balance is quite good. I do make money with FIRS4, but not enough to expand as fast as I can add tracks and trains
