Simutrans 124 Released

The long awaited Simutrans 124 is finally here! This version comes with a lot of changes, although the most visible ones are the improved support for anti-aliasing of fonts and some reworked windows. Under the hood, many less visible changes were made to allow this to be the first stable Android release - which means you will be able to play online now on Android too!

Note for macOS players on Steam: Due to the new directory structure, paksets installed through Steam may not show at all. You can use the in-game installer to workaround this.

Highlights of this version

• Improved anti-aliasing of fonts, now using TrueType fonts by default.

• Reworked main menu and option windows.

• Reworked list windows, they are now checkered lists easier to read.

• The minimap now changes if you are in underground mode.

• The new directory structure allows the players to install paksets if they don't have admin rights.

• Fixed loading of heightmaps.
