Vlak voor het weekend hebben de ontwikkelaars van het OpenTTD Team een nieuwe versie van het spel OpenTTD aangekondigd. Het gaat om versie 0.5.1, die afkomstig is van de derde release candidate van de 0.5.1-tak en vanaf deze pagina gedownload kan worden voor Linux, Mac OS X, Windows en MorphOS. 'Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe' borduurt verder op het idee van Transport Tycoon Deluxe, waarop de opensourcevariant van de game op is gebaseerd en tevens voorzien is van nieuwe en verbeterde features, waaronder grotere levels en multiplayer. Hoewel OpenTTD open source is, heeft het spel wel enkele bestanden nodig van een originele kopie van Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Die bestanden bevatten auteursrechtelijk materiaal en kunnen daardoor niet zomaar gebruikt worden in het opensourcespel. Welke veranderingen doorgevoerd zijn in OpenTTD 0.5.1 kan je hieronder lezen:
