Some minor bug fixes:

• Avoid a black screen when there is an error initializing audio.
  
• Reduce the collider radius of the weight part.
  
• Fix a bug where the driving camera zoom would be affected
  by zooming in the map or editor while playing online co-op.
  
• Avoid generating side jobs to one of the wind turbines
  where there is not enough flat ground to have a delivery zone.
  

This patch fixes a bug where monorails could be connected to any station, resulting in a floating train.

Hello!

This small update adds an oft-requested feature: the ability to set the start state of parts like the Hydraulic Cylinder and Motorised Joint!

The start state can be changed from the inventory by right-clicking the part.



Here's the complete list of changes:

• The start state of some parts can now be set in the inventory. For example you can set the hydraulic cylinder to start extended, or a hinge to start at 90 degrees.
  
• The hydraulic cylinder now extends to 3 units instead of 2.8.
  
• Fix a bug where the grappling hook would disconnect when playing co-op and the host player fast travelled.
  
• Fix some visual glitches with the grappling hook.
  
• Fix a bug where the grappling hook winch sound didn't play on net clients.
  
• Fix a bug where the clipboard 3D preview wasn't positioned correctly.
  

Thanks for all the feedback!

Ian.
