*Introduction

This is the set of JR-Maglev.
Development of JR-Maglev was able to be begun by JNR (Japanese National Railways).
RTRI (Japan Railway Technical Research Institute) is furthering development now.
JR-Maglev is Maglev surfaces by the restitution by the super-conductive magnet, and it runs by LSM (Linear Synchronous Motor) promotion.
TransRapid and HSST (High Speed Surface Transport) are Maglev of a different system.
Research and development were furthered uniquely in Japan.
The technology for utilization is already established.
Research for mainly holding down cost now is advanced.
The add-on of MLU001, MLU002, and MLU002N, MLX01 is contained in this set.

The correspondence version of MLU002 and MLU002N is Simutrans 88.04.1 or more.
Since length is set to the other add-on, Simutrans 88.08 or more are the correspondence version.

The introductory years of this add-on are earlier than the introductory years of MaglevTrack which is contained in Simutrans as standard.
When timeline is being turned ON, even if add-on introductory years come, MaglevTrack thinks that it is hard to use since it is not introduced.
Moreover, since MaglevTrack which are contained as standard do not seem to be the U type track, such as JR-Maglev, appearance may not suit them as JR-Maglev.

Installation only puts the pak file of an add-on to use into simutrans/pak/folder ;-)

It checked operating by the following versions.
86.04.2 (Only MLU002 and MLU002N)
88.06.3 (Only MLU002 and MLU002N)
88.10.5
99.06
Operation by other versions is not checked.
The trouble which is not expected depending on usage's PC environment may arise.
I cannot have responsibility to the possibility of those troubles.
Please judge with responsibility whether this add-on is used by that.

About distribution of this add-on, as long as it is within the limits of the following conditions, you may carry out freely.
1: Don't carry out distribution for the profit purpose.
2: Change no contents and copyright notation of this zip file.
3: Distribute this whole zip file.
However, when putting in and distributing this add-on to the main simutrans game, on condition that the contents of the pak file are not changed, you may distribute with a pak file simple substance.

*About an add-on

payload is set up by the seat capacity on a design (there are some in which the seat is not installed yet in actual MLX01).

There are some which have set up the presumed value about some in which detailed data were not found.

Power is set as a fuel_cell.
However, "MLX 01-2" has set power as a diesel, in order to express the exhaust gas of a gas turbine engine generator.
