Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon 4.4.8 - fresh install Tpf2 - normal vanilla version works (random maps or workshop maps)
Beta version 28030, it loads 100% - black screen with message bottom right first texture compression - some seconds later, error message:
File Name: res/shaders/terrain/terrain_common.vs
0:29(2): error: `return' with wrong type ivec2, in function `getTileOffset' returning vec2

I've suggested this but what would you say if you added a feature in which you can place airport terminals at 90* to the runway heading, like at the old Kai Tak Airport or something like that? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kai_Tak_Airport#/media/File:Boeing_747-467,_Cathay_Pacific_Airways_JP10362.jpg
Would certainly be interesting and would allow with a second runway on the other side of the airport terminal section realistic parallel airport operation :) @weber.basil

... And they removed those hapless masts of airport headlamps, which every large plane cuts off with its wing. Or they enlarged the modules accordingly and moved the maneuver path away, or planes coming up to the sleeve pass through the wall of the terminal building.

two suggestions:

I sometimes like to add a wagon to all trains of a line, so no replacement but a maintance of all trains.
I can add a wagon for each train in the same window but what I miss is a click of all trains together and then add once the wagon for all trains. Usually all trains of a line are the same and to add it seperate for each train takes a lot of time.

Another idea, if you want two or more locomotives for a train, all locomotives but the first are added at the end of the train, wouldnt it be better by default always at the top? Or give us a right icon for the last wagon/loco of the train, becoming then the first part (and a left icon for the first part becoming the last part).

Working fine, thanks for the update. No crashes and good performance.

1. At the "add stations" moment, the city names disappear on the map, and this is the moment when we need them most.

2. Animation of arrows / line direction during preview / editing on the map is unnecessary, causes unjustified loss of FPS, especially when there are many of them and they cannot be excluded from the preview.

3. When editing a line, I want to see only the line I am editing. For example, when I have 120 colored lines all over the map and they all mix together, it's difficult to find it. There should be an on / off option for each line in the line manager. The filter - trains / cars / planes / ships - is insufficient.

Please take this into consideration.

Found a few edge cases with the clone feature.

1) Cloned train vehicles don't recognize stations on the line that are accessible if the line path is set to an alternate terminal, though a separate purchase does.
2) On boats, if there's no quick water path due to a bridge, it will still clone from the near depot but take the longer way around even if there's a closer depot to the first terminal.

Just edit the file "YOURSTEAMLIBRARY/steamapps/common/Transport Fever 2/res/shaders/terrain/terrain_common.vs" and change Line 28 : "vec2 getTileOffset() {" to "ivec2 getTileOffset() {"

This file edit works great. Thank you very much.
Danke Dir, funktioniert hervorragend.
