Many thanks to prissi for compiling a release of pak128.Britain 1.09 to go with the new simutrans executable 111. As this is the first release in a year, there are quite a few fixes/changes from 1.08, too many for me to remember but I will try to summarise below:
– many more snow images
– planes
– basic narrow gauge
– more ships and trains
– more citybuildings and attractions
– some player colour stations
– player barriers

A new version of Simutrans-Experimental is available today: Simutrans 110.0.1 Experimental 9.6. This version addresses the long-standing issue of network play between computers running different platforms.
There have also been some general bug fixes, and one or two small feature changes, but it does not yet incorporate all of the latest changes from Standard, as the priority was to fix the networking. It is anticipated that these changes will be incorporated into the next version.
Today a mere 7 maps were added to the Simutrans Maps website.
Six of them were made by uci with the use of ETOPO data. The maps depict Europe, Japan, the Strait of Gibraltar, the Grand Canyon and Mount Fuji.
Further on Statto has made stunning map of the Zurich area, with lakes, rivers and mountains.
