      • Graphics Detail tab has new setting - for far Vegetation/Objects geometry reduction, aka LOD bias
    • Horizons - far terrains on many tracks, great landscape views
    • PBS materials - with roughness and fresnel/metalness. WIP, can be improved
      • New vehicle materials - with more parameters and new look
      • Color changing paints, 3 colors (on Gui) at once depending on view angle

    • Settings for using cache and shaders debug, mouse capture and ogre dialog show.
  • New Material Editor

  • Moved translations to Weblate
  • Editor
    • Many terrains - new Gui buttons: < Previous, > Next, + Add, X Delete, top right (same for Roads)
      • Enter - goes to next terrain, while editing with brushes (outside Gui)
    • Terrain Brushes - new set, 169 total

    • New tabs Fluids and Particles with lists (Alt-X) for easier picking, colored names
    • Focus camera on current (object, fluid, road point, anything) - key \
    • Fluids quality (diffuse, refract (not done yet), reflect) keys 1,2 - to reduce rendering when many on track
    • Update now saves terrain heightmaps, so F5 won't undo after
    • Particles scale - new parameter for size e.g. for bigger clouds in distance (keys K,L)
    • Terrain circle cursor - same size far/near, animated
    • Grass layer color - can pick any, no ColorMap combo
    • Sky preview map shown on Sky tab

      • cfg or config forces showing Ogre dialog with screen and rendering options
      • Starting with ? shows help for all. In code search for Tool or references to MainEntryPoints::args
  • Bugs and notable missing features from SR 2.8, not yet present in SR 3.0:
    • Video options: Resolution, Vsync, Antialiasing, etc are not on Gui, but in Ogre dialog before start. No Limit Fps
      • Can't change them without quit. Also possibly alt-tab could require track reload on Windows.
    • Terrain shadowmap, Fluids: depth color, Refraction, smooth border. Grass deform, Trees wind.
    • HUD: minimap terrain or border, bad other position markers, bad in splitscreen: gauges, minimaps, digits etc
    • Editor
      • Slower road editing (~20 Fps not 60), added skip. Full Rebuild (B) takes quite long, columns need it
      • Bad reflection in editor F7 camera, less Fps (minimap RTTs don't skip, no terrain+road mode)
      • Object pick errors, moved Terrains bad edit cursor pos
    • On older PCs: slower track loading (e.g. 5 sec not 1) and few lags due to long shaders compilation etc
    • Generally lighting changed due to sRGB colors (also using gamma to fix 1.15)
      • Every color in e.g. sun, particles, materials etc needs adjusting when converting from SR 2.x (make it darker, more saturated)
    • Grass not lit by vehicle lights, particles are unlit
