Hello Pioneers! We have a new update for you all. Plenty of fixes and improvements here for you to jump on board with! [list] [*]When the boat runs aground, it was teleported to some nearby position with sufficient depths that the server located for you. Now the boat keeps track of its own positions and when you press "help me please" after you've run aground, the boat is teleported back in its footsteps. [*]When the camera was in orbit mode, changing the angle to look up from below the waves would not only limit the camera to stay above the water, but also move the camera closer without zooming in. This is now fixed so the camera stays above the waves but the distance to the boat doesn't change. [*]When the camera is in orbit mode, the focus point can now be moved with the WASD/arrow keys and by dragging the mouse while holding down the right mouse button. [*]When the camera is moved away from the boat, it will be detached from the boat and can then move around freely. [*]The World edits are ordered on publication date so that the terrain heights from the latest edit will overrule earlier edits for the same region. [*]Only published World edits are now applied. In the previous version published Word edits by other users + all your own world edits were applied, but this was confusing. [*]The 2 featured races that are shown in the main menu, will now also contain user-organized races. [*]Tall buildings were rendered behind the sky layer [*]There were background processes that downloaded detailed maps, while they could use an already downloaded low resolution map instead. [*]The size of the wait cursor has been reduced and it will appear less frequent [/list] Happy Sailing! The Sailaway Team
