Scene: Rush hour at a major terminal, circa 1990.

Commuters swarm the electric multiple units arriving empty from the depot, their drivers simply changing ends before a quick departure back to the suburbs.

Intercity trains arrive behind unpowered Driving Van Trailers, then depart with the locomotive leading.

An overnight sleeper to the seaside reverses into the station under the watchful eye of its guard, the locomotive pushing from the other end.

What game is this? OpenTTD 16! Let’s discuss our latest visual improvement and an optional new gameplay challenge.

It’s April, time for a new OpenTTD version?

Sort of. We’re hard at work on features for OpenTTD 16, but in the meantime we’ve fixed a few bugs including a multiplayer desync triggered by train crashes.

Fixes incude:

• Don’t desync multiplayer clients when a train crashes
• When a helicopter runs out of fuel near the map edge, crash it within the map instead of the void (which crashes the whole game)
• Improve appearance of toolbars and main menu images/text with some non-default base sets such as aBase, biggui, and original TTD
