Dear all,

I love Simutrans very much...got 2 questions:

(1)May I speed up the game? (x2 x3 of normal speed?)
(2)I upgraded from 8.14 to latest 8.16.2, loaded my save, seems vechicles have "introduction date" now, many new vechicles are being "hidden" and cannot buy anymore.....is there any method to disable this introduction date? (i.e. I can buy a 2010's train in whatever year like 1900)

Thanks all!

1) There is a timelapse mode, but it's abit unstable. Use the comma and full stop keys to speed up/slow down. Find more details here:

2) You can turn the timeline off. in config/simuconf.tab there is an entry:

Code: Select all

# Enforce vehicle introduction dates?
# 0 = all vehicles available from start of the game
# 1 = use introduction dates
#
use_timeline = 1
Just modify the last line to look like this:

Code: Select all

use_timeline = 0

What do I do if there is no such line?

Edit: I tried adding it to the simuconf.tab file under "######program stuff#####" but it didnt work. :\

simuconf.tab can be found in the simutrans/config folder

If the line is missing, you're installation is probably too old and doesn't support the timeline yet. The latest release 0.84.16.4 seems to be quite stable, I recomment to use it. The simucoinf.tab from that reales includes the timeline config setting.
