Ahh, thank you for spotting that omission, and just in the nick of time, too, as I was about to upload and distribute 0.7. I have added concrete elevated tracks (without new graphics for the time being: until somebody has time to draw any, they will look like brick viaducts) for the next release, the .dat file for which is reproduced below. Thank you for the report!
Yeah, that's one of my dreams.
1) Adding cities to the heightmap including number of inhabitants, this could be independant of pak
2) Adding rivers to the heightmap, but this would very likely depend on pak
3) Adding factories and attractions to the map, including factory linkage, but this would certainly be pak-dependant
I have ideas how I would like to implement this (about the same format as makeobj uses), but no time to work on it. And the real developers are very busy with network functionality. But maybe one day...
I realize now that I didn't mention it, but adding cities and factories roads would also be another desirable for me too. Unfortunately, I realize that they would probably all be dependent on the pak; in addition to what you mentioned about paks having different or no rivers/factories, I think the cities would also depend, since different paks have different city buildings, city roads, and even town halls... but there's no reason we couldn't vary some of the other map properties after having locked in the pak!
[ simutrans [dot] us (site down, do not visit) ] is not down; however, there was a server move nearly a week ago. Perhaps your ISP's DNS has not updated?
The new IP address is 70.38.8.153, although you'd have to modify your hosts file to use that information - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file
By the way: This forum runs on that same IP, so it's very strange that you might see the forum and not that subdomain.
