I have seen too many reports of players who don't have any vehicles available for FIRS cargos
and/or that FIRS breaks the default vehicles.
It's irresponsible for FIRS not to fix this.
So future versions of FIRS will require specific vehicle grfs to be loaded, otherwise FIRS will disable itself.
This will require players to have in their grf list:
- at least 1 known-working ship grf
- at least 1 known-working road vehicle grf
- at least 1 known-working train grf
- at least 1 known-working plane grf
Of course, the player can freely add further grfs, as long as they also aren't in the list of known-incompatible grfs.
Hopefully this can also be ported to the FIRS forks like XIS etc
This will prevent any new vehicle sets from supporting FIRS as the authors won't be able to test them with FIRS. We can probably find a solution to that.
I am aware already that players think FIRS disabling with e.g. CZTR is because I want to force people to use my grfs.
To avoid this perception,
FIRS will not work with Iron Horse, Road Hog, HEQS, FISH or Unsinkable Sam , unless a specific parameter is chosen.
But I do need a list of suitable grfs that FIRS is
known to work with.
What are your suggestions?
Please don't just campaign for your favourite grf. It needs to actually be proven to work with FIRS. Also I need specific versions / grfids. Thanks!
