Others
- Spanish translations

Version 1-20
------------
- Discord rich presence
Show to other Discord users what you're doing in OMSI. The name of the bus you're driving, the map you're driving on, the next bus stop time and name, passenger count and more.
- Driver seat adjustment settings are now unique to each bus
You can now adjust the position depending on the bus you're driving and only have that specific configuration for that specific bus.
- Hide all visible HUD items with a single menu item
For example if you're taking a screenshot you can hide all of AUXI's currently shown HUD items temporarily (note: this won't also hide AUXI's main UI).
- HUD items can now be locked
This means that they won't be able to take any focus from mouse clicks or mouse hovers while locked.
They will still show on the screen but can't be interacted with (except for Next Bus Stop as it has a button to skip bus stops).
- HUD items automatically lock if mouse control is enabled in OMSI
This means that HUD items won't potentially disrupt those using a mouse to drive in OMSI.
- Driver statistics entries are now capped at 250
Older entries will be deleted first if this cap is exceeded, a cap exists in the interest of maintaining an acceptable performance when viewing your driver statistics.
- Code modernisation, much of the code has undergone some tidying and modernisation work
- Showing or hiding HUD items will no longer also close the HUD submenu each time
- Changed autosave timer in AUXI from every 60 seconds to every 20 seconds
- Time synchronisation no longer shows the date and instead only the time
- HUD items no longer show on ALT+TAB (task switching)
- Reliable version detection of OMSI has been implemented. Only OMSI version 2.2.032 is supported!
- Updated translations
- Dropped Steamworks.NET as it's no longer required or used by AUXI

- Change the repaint of the bus almost instantly without needing to respawn the bus again

- Give your foot a rest on a long motorway/highway and enable cruise control to automatically control the throttle and maintain the current speed
- Note: This may not work well with buses that have a manual gearbox
- Note: Tapping the brakes more than 5% will deactivate cruise control
- Driver Seat
- Lean forward with an assignable hotkey, handy at junctions where you can't quite see the view you'd like. The amount you lean forward is also customisable per bus

- Dynamic weather modes now enforce the season on any map, applying the appropriate textures for that season (changes to this setting don’t take effect while a map is currently loaded)
- Changes in weather are even more gradual and are based on the update interval. For example, if the update interval is 10 minutes then when a weather update is fetched the weather will gradually change over the next 10 minutes from the current weather to the recently fetched weather
- Weather no longer needs to disabled in AUXI in order to change the mode
- Added some OMSI script variables for managing some features in AUXI, please see the manual for more details

- Fixed various bugs
- Updated translations
- Manual ver 1.3 ENG / ver 1.3 DE


Version 1-31
