Smart City Plan 1.09 Update

Smart City Plan update 1.09 is now available.

This update adds performance improvements, small graphics changes, minor bug fixes and a few gameplay adjustments. Details here:

• [h2]Performance improvements[/h2]
  
  The game now runs on average about 25% faster on most systems - the rendering pipline has been optimized quite a bit.
  You can notice this easily if you zoom out over a large city: The framerate won't drop that much anymore. Also, the game now runs much smoother on very slow systems.
  
  
• [h2]Adjusted graphics[/h2]
  A lot of minor changes to a lot of buildings and modules have been made. Your city might now look a bit different now after this update.
  Specifically, the ground for a lot of buildings - which was always concrete gray is now a bit changed for quite a few buildings.
  
  
• Fixed a bug causing the Football Stadium not to be displayed sometimes when placed at unusual places
  
  
• Adjusted the population growth for cities larger than 8000 slightly
  
  
• Changed fire spreading algorithm a bit to be not that aggressive anymore
  
  

Please note that although this update makes the game engine faster, we are also working on a further performance improvement which will specifically target systems with large resolutions and/or older graphics drivers.

Thanks for all the feedback so far, further feedback is welcome as always!
