    --Release notes--
    - Migrated all 2012/2013 models up to 3ds Max 22 and re-linked all objects, recreated all animations and materials
    - Fixed a gap in the windows on the Arriva Merwedelingelijn Abk1
    - Removed white stripe from wheels
    - Fixed a texture issue (fuzzy yellow line) on the nose of the ODEG Abk wagon
    - Fixed the missing blocks in the windshield for the windshield heaters (external view only)
    - New driver figure
    - New scharfenberg coupler model and fixed the coupler geometry so the ‘coupled’ version isn’t mirrored
    - New bogie and wheel geometry and textures
    - New region-correct fonts and colours for the destination boards
    - Fixed some axle decals
    - New higher resolution window frame textures on the passenger windows
    - Fully re-built UIC codes with consist numbers and names (where necessary) coded into every UIC code so they’re now a common format across every version of the GTW – DMU and EMU
    - Two new names on the DMU Achterhoek versions
      -- 10256 = PIET OUDOLF (letter W in the numbering convention)
      -- 10370 = PIET MONDRIAAN (letter X in the numbering convention)
    - One new name on the EMU Vechtdallijn version
      -- 10525 = REINIER PAPING (letter O in the numbering convention)

    - New Qbuzz EMU version
    - New Blauwnet DMU version
    - New Arriva Nevenlijnen ‘Teal’ DMU version
    - New Arriva Limburg DMU and EMU versions

    Art - Cab
    ========================
    - Made new texture for all warnings and buttons in the cabs to clean up the old, ‘noisy’ buttons that were hard to read
    - Made cabview windows less “foggy”
    - Corrected the cab tempomaat / cruise display to be correct to the real train
    - Added train number, clock and traction block indicator to the multi-function display
    - Corrected cab MFD to use the correct font
    - Higher resolution / new, clearer hand-created textures for cab displays and GSM-R
    - Fixed the overhead lights and speakers in the cabviews. The speaker was originally a light and the lights were originally air vents. Oops!
    - New illuminated instruments for night, and new more accurate desk reading lights
    - Corrected one of the brake meters to now correctly read up to 12 bar

    Art - Thurbo
    ============
    - corrected the inside passenger door colour from red to dark grey
    - corrected the shunting light to be the left light instead of the top light
    - corrected the colour of some of the lights / buttons in the cab
    - added new UIC codes to one side of each driving wagon
    - removed a lot of screen information in the cab to comply with new SBB license conditions

    Art - Capital Metro
    ===================
    - updated external colours and swapped MAN power unit for DEUTZ
    - added some geometry and texture changes, new brake lights, new side reflectors etc.
    - 4 new destinations – MvKalla, Broadmoor, Special Event, Do Not Board
    - updated cabview to be much closer to the real thing with new geometry and textures, new bell control button, new brake lever
    - added destination pre-setting

    Art - ODEG
    ===================
    - changed RB33 end station to Potsdam Hbf to reflect current schedules

    Audio
    =====
    - Fixed a missing cross-linked pantograph sound from another train
    - EMU engine ventilator audio now only plays when pantograph is up
    - EMU pantograph sound modified so it shouldn't play every time the train comes into view
    - Horn sounds re-done with loop points
    - Miscellaneous bogie and wagon sound changes
    - New control sounds for many of the cab controls, recorded from cab ride
    - Moved the traction motor sound to the engine wagon instead of the passenger wagon (!)
    - Removed the ‘voices’ from the Thurbo PZB emulation
    - New 'at speed' cab sound effect for general wind/rail noise, recorded from cab ride
    - Removed the 'crash' sound and replaced it with a schafenberg coupler sound, for coupling
    - New (irritating) cab wiper sounds 🙂

    Blueprints
    ==========
    - Excluded miscellaneous blueprints from the content browser (like smoke, lights, drivers etc)
    - Add all Dutch freeware routes to consist blueprints for the Dutch GTWs so they can now show up as AI and quickdrive consists automatically
    - Changed reverser from percentage to A-0-V in the HUD
    - Fixed some brake controls that were not set to ‘apply to consist’
    - Corrected all brake blueprint data to be consistent with other ChrisTrains models
    - Updated dynamic braking blueprints
    - Re-wrote and simplified the combined throttle / brake controller. It now has correct notches for 10% (tempomaat), 0% (off), -10% (brake 1) and -20% (remcrit) with linear control outside those ranges.
    - Fixed an error in the motor wagon blueprints where the train brake and dynamic brake controls were missing (!)
    - Reduced camera sway/jolt movement in the cab
    - Made second camera view in cab tilt slightly downwards
    - Flipped the motor wagon in the consist blueprints – it was in backwards originally

    Scripting
    =========
    - New ATB-EG and ATB-NG functions to match all other recently-updated trains
    - “E” shortcut now zeros out throttle/brake controller
    - MUCH more prototypical performance under acceleration and braking, from newly-collected real-world test runs of EMU and both types of DMU from various drivers across the Dutch networks. You know who you are - Thank you !
    - Updated logic for manual use of pneumatic brakes – now correctly overrides throttle control and requires manual throttle reset in order to gain traction again
    - Added holding brake when stopped
    - Emergency brake now requires correct reset procedure with pneumatic brake handle and optionally ATB-release (if triggered by ATB)
    - Added throttle smoothing/averaging
    - Added dynamic brake smoothing/averaging
    - If the reverser is set to 0 it now requires a throttle reset before power can be applied
    - New scripting around the re-written throttle/brake handle
    - More efficient code for cruise/tempomaat display function
    - Added a traction block indication to the MFD
    - New, up-to-date headlight functions including new high/full beam headlights - the headlights in the GTW are now based on the driver being in the cab. There is no longer an "off" position
    - New, up-to-date driver figure logic
    - Pantograph animation logic now much more efficient – doesn’t try to continuously animate pantograph every frame
    - Cab lighting now visible from outside when cab lights are on
    - New controls for passenger area lighting. Passengers are not present and wagons are now unlit when parked.
    - Corrected the cab braking / traction meter in Dutch and German versions
    - The second set of rear lights on the Capital Metro version actually function as brake lights in the real train – added that functionality to the model
    - New local master destination list for all Dutch versions with massively expanded range of stations and messages, and destination pre-se
