- Description:
- OpenBVE is a railway train-driving simulator with an emphasis on in-
cab driving, realistic physics, braking system, and train safety
system modelling.
Technically, the simulator handles detailed per-car simulation of the
brake systems, friction, air resistance, toppling and more. In trains
supplied with 3D cabs, the driving experience is augmented with forces
that shake the driver's simulated body upon acceleration and braking,
as well as through curves.
Compared to other rail-based simulators, OpenBVE has its main focus on
realism -- not necessarily on user-friendliness. There may be a need
to study operational manuals for the routes and trains chosen, rather
than merely memorising a few keystrokes.
The simulator is designed to be backwards-compatible with existing
"BVE Trainsim" routes and cab interiors, allowing a wide range of
existing scenarios to be loaded by a single-program (BVE1, BVE2, BVE4,
and extended OpenBVE route formats).
OpenBVE uses OpenGL for 3D graphics rendering, OpenAL for positional
surround sound, and is written in the C# language. Note that binary
train extension plugins are not currently supported on Unix, because
these would require Win32 emulation.

the `Railway' and `Train' directories to ~/.config/openBVE/LegacyContent.
Have fun, and try not to crash!

Among the usual round of bug fixes and significant changes, it is
now possible to uncouple vehicles from the player train. Whilst
(probably) not immediately useful, it is another significant step
along the path of moving away from the simple linear world model.
While here, make ALL_TARGET subject to defined(WITH_DEBUG).

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

- Update OpenBVE to version 1.8.1.0, which now supports routes from the
legacy DOS simulator Mechanik, among other changes and bug fixes
- AssemblyInfo.sh (shell script) had been replaced with AssemblyInfo.tt
written in C# which means gdate(1) is no longer used and we can drop
the build-time dependency on the `sysutils/coreutils' port/package
