Re: Simutrans Maps website Reply #35 – June 26, 2010, 12:25:31 pm With the help of a dark, dusty and forgotten place in the computer of VS I have uploaded 7 new North American maps including Tennessee, North America, Bay Area, Dallas, Lynchburg, Salt Lake City and Sunriver Mountain. The Tennessee map was made by Patrick N. but the authors of all the other maps remain unknown. Can anyone shine a light on their origin? VS and I think it might be Joker's, and we've contacted him, without an answer yet.Further there was a map of an unknown area, very likely in North America. Does anyone know which part this is? I've made two pictures with different water levels, most likely the last one is correct, or maybe it is something in between. Quote Selected

Re: Simutrans Maps website Reply #43 – July 21, 2010, 01:54:38 pm The map in question is now available as Sindor's map in the fantasy maps category. Further I've added the beautiful Russia map by AEO from topic http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=5599.0 in the European maps category (though it could arguably go in the Asian section). As a bonus I am going to try to write my first Simutrans blog about this. Wish me luck...Edit: blog done, comments are welcome! Quote Selected Last Edit: July 21, 2010, 02:19:45 pm by Combuijs
Re: Simutrans Maps website Reply #45 – September 04, 2010, 12:11:58 pm I created a map that uses all levels possible through custom maps, and I noticed that there needs to be a minor change to the tutorial.43 is water level -10, this is the lowest ground level possible.213 - missing from tutorial, but this is a real level, comes after 203224 - should be 223 after adding 213234 - should be 233 after adding 223 Quote Selected
