In einstellungen_t::einstellungen_t() :

   // Revenue calibration settings

   min_bonus_max_distance = 4;
   max_bonus_min_distance = 256;
   median_bonus_distance = 0;
   max_bonus_multiplier_percent = 300;
   distance_per_tile = 2.5F;

I think the green line should use 0.25F instead of 2.5F. Although the default value is rarely used, it's better to fix it.

Last time I suggested you to move all the cost adjustments involving distance_per_tile to the following block of code :

Quote

            if(file->get_experimental_version() < 6)
            {
               min_bonus_max_distance /= distance_per_tile;
               max_bonus_min_distance /= distance_per_tile;
               // Scale the costs to match the scale factor.
               cst_multiply_dock *= distance_per_tile;
               cst_multiply_station *= distance_per_tile;
               cst_multiply_roadstop *= distance_per_tile;
               cst_multiply_airterminal *= distance_per_tile;
               cst_multiply_post *= distance_per_tile;
               maint_building *= distance_per_tile;
               cst_signal *= distance_per_tile;
               cst_tunnel *= distance_per_tile;
               cst_third_rail *= distance_per_tile;
               cst_buy_land *= distance_per_tile;
               cst_remove_tree *= distance_per_tile;
            }

However, this block of code is invoked only when EXP version > 1. For STD save games, these costs are not adjusted, causing serious losses. So, the correct way is to move this whole block of code together with its IF condition out of 2 levels of outer IF. That is, move the whole code block out of the following 2 nested IF blocks, and place it after them :

Quote

      if(file->get_experimental_version() >= 1)
      {
         file->rdwr_short(min_bonus_max_distance, "");
         file->rdwr_short(max_bonus_min_distance, "");
         if(file->get_experimental_version() == 1)
         {
            uint16 dummy;
            file->rdwr_short(dummy, "");
         }
         else
         {

Thank you very much for the reports; apologies for the delay in replying: I've been a little busy, not least with adding code to replace factories after they have closed down. I have implemented your suggestions, which will be in the next release. Thank you for your help :-)
