	==~~Major Feature TBA~~==		==Trainz Living Ralroad==
	~~We'd love~~ to ~~tell you~~ all ~~about the new feature right now~~, ~~but you'll need~~ to ~~wait~~ a ~~couple~~ of ~~weeks before we're ready~~ to ~~unveil all~~ the ~~details~~.		Dynamically Created & Automated Operations!

			Living Railroad is a totally new, automated approach to running your railroad.

			Load up any route, and the Living Railroad Dispatch systems will dynamically query all available Industries, Passenger Stations, Train Vehicles and Drivers to create a list of potential Tasks.

			Tasks are then prioritized based upon which Industries require goods, which Locomotives and Rolling Stock are suitable and then AI Commands are automatically created and issued to each available Driver.

			The player can manage the Tasks and Drivers or choose to drive any train at any time.

			TLR is also fully supported in multiplayer and MPS sessions.

			Find out more on our [Trainz Plus Landing Page: https://info.trainzsimulator.com/trainz-plus]
			And our [Trainz Docs page: https://docs.trainzsimulator.com/docs/trainz-living-railroad]

			We'd love to tell you right now, but you'll need to wait a couple of days.

			=="Operations” Interface==

			The new Operations UI is a major unification and upgrade from the “Properties” and “View Details” dialogs. It includes:
			* '''Driver Control Center''' - updated user interface providing access to new dialogs (and now also available in S20).
			* '''Driver Details''' - view detailed information on the Driver, Train, current Commands, a Location map and more
			* '''Industry Details''' - a completely restyled UI shows current commodity levels and processes, and can now be edited in Driver mode
			* '''Train Details''' - view Train details including any allocated driver, track priority, consist weight and length and current dispatch status
			* '''View AI Train Path''' - when selected, the current planned path for any AI loco show in the 3D world and mini-map
			* '''Focus Camera on Object''' - we’ve made it easy to jump immediately to any relevant object (Driver, Loco, Industry, Junction etc) from any of the Operations Dialogs.
			* '''Activities List''' - each of the new UIs shows a list of all activity that's related to the currently viewed item, and provides options to pause, cancel or show any activity.

			==Activity Logs==
			This is an entirely new purpose-built logging system providing detailed information about every aspect of your railroad operations. It includes:
			* '''Detailed logs''' - Player-readable information, avoiding the inclusion of unreadable or spammy debug output
			* '''World Object Search''' - New log list UIs which allow searching the log text or metadata, filtering by status, to particular world objects, etc.
			* '''Metadata tags'''- Each log has support for custom 'metadata' tagging, allowing a log message to reference multiple world objects (trains, industries, etc), players, assets, simple keywords, etc
			* '''Context menus''' - UI context menus driven by the log metadata (e.g. right-click a log to open a player chat, view a relevant object, etc).
			* '''Full localisation support''' - including over MPS, where the player can search server-stored logs in their native language
			* '''Script UI''' - A brand new script UI to add activity logs, including the ability to define custom metadata objects

			==GPU Clutter Effect Layers==
			We've reworked the Clutter Effects onto the GPU for improved performance and smoother fade-in/out

			==New Content==
			Trainz plus members also get early access to future Trainz Retail content. Including:
			* HST 125 (Major Rebuild) - Gold Only
			* Tornado - TP and Gold
			* The Blue Comet (Major rebuild) - Gold Only
			* Amtrak Superliners - Gold Only
