New boat update!

Even though the title of this game is Powerboat VR, there was actually only one real offshore powerboat in the game - the Typhoon.

This update goes a little way to balance this by adding an new Powerboat - the Vortex V390.

It is a V shaped powerboat so provides a totally different experience to the Typhoon.

Other updates...

1. Changed the font on the main menu
2. Split the "Swap Boat" pages into 3 sections to cover Pleasure Boats, Offshore Powerboats & Commercial Boats.
3. Added the Vortex to the boat swap pages
4. Updated the Vortex's "Rooster Tail" generator and the other wake/splash generators to use a different particle system. I think it looks a bit better.

Next update will add a larger boat into the Pleasure Boat category for transporting people around the different islands and hopefully add some new races around Menorca.

Races will initially be more suited to the Offshore Powerboats as they will be longer courses, but I will add some shorter courses for the likes of the Fury Extreme to whip round!

The next phase of development will be to add a new island (probably either Long Island or Manhattan) so that I can setup some longer logistic routes. I've redone the "Road Map" post in the forum so you can see an approximate list of things I will be adding.

Once this is in place I will be pushing the RealWorld Beta "out the door" and into the official build.
