[Private Beta] Early August Update



This fresh build has quality of life improvements, controls changes, and... CAMERA SHAKE!!

Features
-shift-stacking. Now you can go through gears a lot quicker without having to shift individually into each
-quick restarts. Restarting is immediate, no more reloading the stage. Let me know if you encounter any issues
-added a setting to cap the framerate
-added camera shake. Shakes when hitting stuff, landing jumps, shifting gears.
-added camera shake setting
-all default AI times are now based off of 10 minutes/stage instead of the minutes before. Working on updating these times as you guys play more of the stages.

Improvements
-blocked logs in chicane cut on Finland 1
-cars in main menu have wheels pointed straight
-tweaked logging truck controls to be less floaty
-group 2 4th gear is a little longer
-Drivetrains now deliver power for each of the AWD, FWD, RWD drivetrains.
-closed off corner cuts reported by players
-camera fov and pitch increase with speed. Tried to go on the subtle side
-made some small optimizations to scripts. Maybe saved 0.02s off the cpu update time
-Reduced differential a little for all cars, less overcorrection behaviour
-Fixed the waypoing generation for all stages, since the soemthing had changed in the road plugin
-Improved waypoint generation logic: Waypoints in intersections are placed in-between the last and first waypoints of the road in the connection so there's less weird resets
-made dead tree colliders taller in Finland stages
-changed the way the vegetation masks are generated for roads which ensures that there will be no more grass on the roads anymore
-trying to go out of the map in Rally School & free roam will get you shot back to the centre of the map, Motorcross Madnesss style

Fixes
-locked cars played in say Daily challenge don't have the black shader anymore
-fixed tree colliders in norway
-time chaser menu: only refreshes leaderboards every time you change between dry weather and wet weather
-added missing waypoints for recovering car to Sardinia 2
-comparing leaderboard times is now correct due to casting both times to int in milliseconds
-wind is the same strength in all stages now (it was very strong before)
-damage is now reset between time chaser stages when using the same car
-Sardinia 4 road no longer overlays terrain badly @Deliverator
-The 504, 2002, t22 cars have a bit more ground clearance now @Raymi
-fixing missing cones and fences in rally school
-damage to car should be repaired between rally events in career now
