-Set track radius, length and incline to create perfect curves or straights
-Easily link up splines - with auto generated smooth transitions
-Extended spline lengths
-New Spline Type with procedural models
-Changed season to "spring"

Hello everyone!

The new spline system is slowly coming together so on May 20 there will be a first demo version in the beta branch!

Features:
-Easily create good looking track - no more fiddling
-Set track radius, length and incline to create perfect curves or straights
-Easily link up splines - with auto generated smooth transitions
-Extended spline lengths
-New Spline Type with procedural models
Note: new splines are not compatible with the old splines

See you!

changelog:
-adjusted couplers/draw bars to improve coupler stability when going around tight curves
-unique world id is saved to the savegame when there is none yet

Currently the new spline system is under development.
Therefore the coming beta-branch update is going to include a pre made railroad track along with a simple train setup.

We opt for the following benefits with the new system:
-fix bouncing client cars when driving or riding trains
-better FPS performance for server and client
-longer trains
-higher speeds for all trains
-longer splines and easier spline handling

We will inform you about the coming release date of the next beta branch version.
Thank you!
