In these months I was fortunate to have witnessed a huge work of refinement on the engine that has removed the concerns (which many of us have expressed, on the forum and on discord) about the apparent slow progress and the excessive thinning of the release of updated versions.
The novelties of the next version seem so substantial to be worth the waiting time necessary.

The automatic creation of buildings (from the OSM data) and their display in very high numbers and without apparent slowdowns is the most evident result, clearly illustrated by the images and videos of Acetone and Cameni.

But not only!!

Along with the buildings, the data of road routes, airport runways (and even grass fields ... of small airfields?), the river routes and the location of the lakes are also imported.
A new pipeline (currently undergoing testing) has been studied and implemented which, in my opinion, speeds up all the engine actions considerably.
A patient (and, I think, exhausting) work has been done to refine the soil data to correct its imperfections.
Further refinements on the ground, rocks, grass display, tree set and optimal adjustment of their heights ...
The introduction of "human" pilots in vehicles with realistic movements is being tested.
(by browsing through the plugin, I noticed a reference to a "game/pfnn" folder ... and this excites me!).
And then ... work on the water ... with wonderful results.
The waves of the sea swell and "foam", the lakes have calm waters, the large rivers flow calmly and create earthy islands in their loops, the streams have agitated waters and the bottom strewn with rocks ...
