The SDL window wrapper code is finished for linux builds. Everything is working much better as far as I can tell. The only bug I have noticed is the keyboard still does not work if you have hardware accelerated mouse enabled. I'll look to resolve this issue tomorrow.
After I do a test in Ubuntu, I may push this fix to Linux users as another hotpatch.
For 1.18, I've added three new induction systems into the game. (Twincharger, Hybrid Turbochargers, and Variable Geometry Turbochargers.) I've also split up normal turbochargers into two catagory, fuel focused and power focused. Furthermore I broke them down into 5 "stages" of different power/costs.
I then balanced induction systems out some more.
I've also added E85(Ethonal) to the fuel types. This fuel type was actually popular in the 1900s, although it did die out with US prohibition it has started to make a comeback in the 2000s. (Although low gas prices may end up killing it, much like in the 1900s)
Fuel stats have also been balanced out. In particular Diesel engines are no longer overpowered and are more inline with their specific use. (Smoothness rating does help out quite a bit in this case.)
I've got 2 or 3 new engine types and one more fuel type to add. I'll then fix cylinderless engines/fuels, and then move on to cleaning up some of the issues with the engine stats.
1.18 is showing 26% finished. So I may not hit my Mid-Feb date, but worst case scenario if I'm running too late, I'll make a 1.17.5 Beta build for those who want to try the new stuff!
-SDL window mode (LINUX)
-Fuel and Induction system balancing
-Three new induction types, Turbos broken down into 10 "levels."
