openOMSI 0.2.38

openOMSI 0.2.38

Early release, expect bugs. openOMSI needs an original OMSI 2 installation to run; it contains no game content.

New

• Wheels, pedals and joysticks set themselves up: a device nobody has set up is set up by itself as soon as it is used (a force-feedback wheel at once), in the game and on the launcher's Game controllers page: its X axis steers, every axis resting at an end of its travel is a pedal - throttle, brake and clutch in the order the device lists them, turned round when it reads the other way - and a joystick or a wheel with combined pedals drives with its Y axis. The set-up is saved like one made by hand and a notification says what was set up; before, such a device only steered and the pedals had to be set up by hand. Gamepads keep their ready-made layout.
• The game controllers page is back and redesigned: live axes, buttons given by action, the step-by-step setup and the force feedback test (#2347, by @thibautgnt).
• A live performance panel, compact or detailed (Settings, Interface): where each frame's time goes, what holds the frame rate back, the processor's load and the last stutter (#2329, by @thibautgnt).
• The Alt quick menu is a compact grid of icon tiles off the screen's edge, see-through and in the game's language; Time and weather share one tile, Refuel and Wash have their own (#2327, by @thibautgnt).
• The bus picker lists one row per model with its versions folded under it (#2326, by @ThiBot77).
• Current weather (METAR) and the weather cycle can be chosen again in the launcher, with the airport (#2313, by @ThiBot77).
• Buttons that set the start to the current time and date are back, on the computer and on the phone (#2334, by @thibautgnt).
• On a wide screen the Drive page spreads over two columns and the bus preview is taller (#2325, by @thibautgnt).
• Drop-down lists drawn by the launcher's page, no longer as wide as their longest entry (#2314, by @ThiBot77).
• The end-of-trip notice and other in-game messages in French (#2330, by @ThiBot77).

Performance

• The roundabout search is 2-5 times faster at loading a map, finding the same roundabouts (#2331, by @ThiBot77).

Fixes

• A line shows its two ends: the launcher names a line by the first and last stop of its longest trip ("137 - Stadtgrenze - Falkensee Bhf"); it listed the termini of every short working and depot run one after another, which read as all its stops.
• Mod buses have their 3D preview again (the EN92, the GN92 and other big buses): a bus whose preview was still loading when the launcher closed or a game started was taken for one that hung the launcher and left out for good. The launcher now lets the preview helper end in order and clears the mark itself; previews left out by an older version are tried again after every update (#2352, by @SpicySpaceman); a bus whose preview fails no longer shows the bus chosen before (#2349, by @SpicySpaceman).
• The bus preview no longer takes graphics memory from a game started from the launcher on small graphics cards (#2343, by @thibautgnt).
• The version is right on macOS and Linux too: the launcher's About window and bundle, multiplayer games, the dedicated server's listing, plugins and the radio's requests said 0.1.0 or 0.2.33.
• The launcher's sliders: the knob sits on the end of the coloured track; it stood beside it, by up to half its width.
• The Drive page follows the computer's clock when the real time or date is on (#2312, by @ThiBot77).
• The Time and Weather windows opened from the Alt quick menu take the keys and the mouse again (#2354, by @thibautgnt).
• A livery's tinted windows on an alpha-tested layer are blended, not drawn black (GPM C2) (#2339, by @ThiBot77).
