Development Update May 2020

Greetings to all!

It's over a month ago you got a last update of the development progress.
Lets get an update!

The progress for the new version 0.7 is almost done, there are just some small things which need to be done technically. At the moment I am writing a documentation for the Editor. About 60% of the documentation is done. Almost all articles where written, but some of them need some polishing.

New Discord Channel:

There now exists a Discord Channel for the Libre TrainSim community. It would be great to welcome you there! -> Click Here

Let us see what has been done so far since the version 0.6:

• Rails with slope and tendency: Rails can now change their height, and can tend itself.
  
• Outer View of Trains: You can now see the train from the outside. Animation of doors and of the pantograph where added too:
• Autopilot: From now on you don't have to drive the train yourself. You could press Ctrl + A, sit back, and watch the train driving itself.
• NPC Trains: You are not anymore alone! 
• Intelligent Signals: Signals can now be activated by driving over, and recognize under the hood the signal after them. That makes it a lot easier for track creators.

• Shadows, better materials, and lights:  From now on the materials of the objects look a bit more realistic. Also lights of the train and shadows of the sun where added:
• New Metro Track (WIP): Parallel to the writing at the documentation I create a new track: An metro track with 7 stations. Here's a teaser:

Also some smaller things where fixed and got improved. But for now that was enough.

Thank you for reading, and hopefully we will see us all in the next version!
