Today two new maps created by Alan Robinson were added to the Simutrans Maps website. They represent the New Zealand North Island in two formats: 512×832 and 2048×3328. The required water levels are -2 and -8. The huge one is currently the largest Simutrans map available through the website.
As Alan will tell you the maps are based on DTED level 0 data from data.geocomm.com

Simutrans in Facebook
Mar 5
Facebook by Ruben F. Castro
Firstly, we have recently created a Facebook Simutrans fan site, that contains several screenshots and the official logo too. Now you can list Simutrans under your games in your facebook profile and colaborate with images, comments or videos in the wall.
On the other hand, some time ago several people already created a Facebook Simutrans fan group. There are no admins in the group and it’s not very crowded indeed but we expect to boost it with the new fan site. Anyway, the group has 168 members, so it’s growing slow but sure.
We hope you to join us in Facebook in order to promote the game and reach to more potential players.

Simutrans 110 released
Feb 15
This is the first version incorporating multiplayer and tons of bugfixes and improvements. Due to network mode, the development team had to have this long break. The next releases will come more frequently.
Some changes and new additions have been included like the default savegame format (now bzip2), skins and interface, timeline for headquarters, new features related with winter graphics and drag-and-drop bridges. The main feature added is the multiplayer mode.

Long time ago, we launched a survey to define the profile of the Simutrans average player and recently the results have been published at the wiki. Let’s take a look…
As many of you know, the development team is working hard on the multiplayer mode. In fact it’s available in nightlies since several months ago. So, now it’s time to play with other players around the world but what do you exactly need?
There’s an official list of active server with games and paksets avaliable. You just need to check the list and join a game or register a new server in case you want to create a new game. The list is updated quite often.
At the International Simutrans forum, there’s also a game servers board where you can announce your servers, with all details and you can also use the threads as changelogs, in case people has problems joining the game or with the status of the server. You can also use that forum to propose new competitions or hosting games with other paksets.
In case you want to join a game, you can follow this short tutorial. In case you want to set up a server, there’s another helpful tutorial. In brief, you need to download the nightly, register your server at the official servers list and the follow the instructions.
