A new version of Simutrans-Experimental is available from to-day: see here (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=1894.msg19644#msg19644). To download the Windows binaries, go here (http://simutrans-germany.com/files/upload/simutrans-experimental.zip). Linux binaries are expected to be available from the morning of the 28th of June onwards: see here (http://www.43-1.org/~simutrans/simutrans-exp/) for the download page. Please note that new configuration files (see here (http://simutrans-germany.com/files/upload/simutrans-experimental-config.zip)) are
required for this release if the translation texts in the depot window are to work properly. This release incorporates a number of fixes to bugs identified since the previous version was released, as well as incorporating all the latest improvements from Simutrans-Standard, including particularly this week the much anticipated
underground slopes patch. Please note also that
German translation texts are now available for Simutrans-Experimental: thanks to Bernd Gabriel for that, and for his good work in providing fixes and improvements for this version.

Testing and feedbackThanks to all those who tested the previous version and submitted bug reports: many of the fixes listed above would not have been possible without that contribution. Further testing and feedback is very much appreciated, including bug reports, results of testing the game balance, comments on how the new features of Experimental alter gameplay, and any other thoughts and suggestions. Please post feedback in the forum. Happy playing!
