New features and changes
System

• Performance (fps) and map loading have been optimized to significantly improve the performance on all systems. In addition, the render and calculation processes have been corrected and optimized.
• Many new logfile entries have been added to locate and identify bugs/problems much more easily.
• Every addon has the option to bring its own addons.ini which will not be deleted by steam (during updates etc.).
• Missing or corrupted keyboard (hotkey) data will be announced with a corresponding error message.
• There have been solved some bugs within the memory management. These bugs caused bugs like „E_OUTOFMEMORY“.
• The OMSI-internal management of AI vehicles has been changed completely to avoid access errors and thread collision.
• The management of meshs and submeshs has been optimized to prevent bugs and improve performance.

The gamer and his bus

• The time of arrival and departure at the destination bus stop will now be displayed at the schedule.

AI traffic and humans

• Passengers are waiting for each bus (line), even if the schedule priority (options) is set to a low value. Consequently the passengers will wait for a user bus running on deactivated AI route.
• Spawning busses don't appear during the game if the spawn point is in line of sight. After setting time, even at visible spawn points busses appear for a short time.

Environment, map & editor

• Switches are now moving.
• Terrain shadowing has been corrected.
• Editor fps have been limited to 30 to keep ressources free for different processes.
• At a framerate of 10 or less the tile range will be reduced automatically.

Content

• New years and holiday fireworks is now everywhere, even beyond route 137.

GUI

• The options dialogue has got a new segmentation to provide more clarity.
• Autosaving is now optionally.
