Good day, today we have launched the revamped Website Experience, rebuilt from the ground up to provide a smoother and more intuitive user experience.

As this is a big jump in version (Version 4 to Version 6), should you spot any broken links, report them via Github Issues here.

Do note that due to work commitments, rectification works to the Broken Links will take awhile.

Design Changes

The design changes have been adapted from the Personal Website. The biggest change is the overall layout and user interface improvement, and how release links are being hosted.

Links are now housed under 2 JSON files for easier link maintenance - one for Stable Releases, another for Pre-Releases.

Update Indicator

To keep you informed of the latest updates, we've introduced a smart Update Indicator on the navigation bar. This feature displays a pulsing red dot next to OpenBVE, OMSI 2, or Labs links whenever there's a new update within the last 7 days.

The indicator automatically checks each page for recent updates and alerts you at a glance, so you never miss important new content, releases, or features.

Update Indicator on Navbar

Update Indicator - Red pulsing dot on navbar

How it works:

  • - The indicator checks for updates every time you load a page
  • - It appears on links to pages with recent updates (within 7 days)
  • - The red dot pulses to draw your attention to the updated content
  • - Hover over the dot to see a tooltip confirming new updates are available
  • - Click on the dot to navigate to the updated content. The page will automatically highlight the most recent updates.

This feature helps you stay up-to-date with the latest releases, improvements, and news across OpenBVE, OMSI 2, and Labs sections.

Thanks,
SMRTO
