- Fixed power handle to be off for rolling starts
HUD
- Fixed HUD station stop progress bar
- Added HUD view menu options for changing to next/previous car (useful for gamepads)
- Added HUD view menu options for changing cabs (useful for gamepads)
GUI
- Improved controls configuration screen colours to show which element is active in order to make keyboard and gamepad navigation easier
- Attempted to fix a possible crash in the main menu career options
- Fixed train interior views to remember the last position and viewing direction in some cases
- Added interior view tilt angle setting (defaults to 15 degrees)
Train editor
- Fixed train editor to not spawn new vehicles on top of old ones
- Fixed the train stopping option to stop some vehicles properly
- Fixed train editor to play sounds
- Fixed a possible audio related crash in the train editor
- Fixed a possible crash when exiting the train editor
Miscellaneous

- Fixed various pathfinding failures
- Fixed a problem causing some objects (like speed limit signs) to be missing or look wrong when doing multiple runs without restarting the game
- Changed vehicle database to match vehicles also by name in addition to the vehicle GUID. This should help preventing modded timetables from breaking down if the GUID of a train mod changes on the Workshop
- Reduced chance of heavy fog and overcast sky
