[Private Beta] September Update

This update has been mostly about making the game prettier, namely vegetation, lighting and particles. I was deep in the hole for this one and there's many things that aren't on the changelog so you'll just have to try it out!

Features
-stages have real time ambient occlusion
-New trees, rocks, bushes and vegetation pass for all locations
-Swapped the vegetation shaders for ones that support instanced indirect, which is much faster than the previous way of rendering vegetation

Improvements
-improved gear ratios
-Group B, S, A have more even downforce between the front and rear wings which makes for more even jump flight and also less understeer when going high speeds
-redid the lighting for snow stages
-all strings are localized now
-readjusted braking power for all classes
-cars are using studded snow tires so increased the grip on snow a little bit
-nearly all the particles have been overhauled and now look much more consistent across all lighting and weather

Fixes
-manual & automatic were swapped
-weather effects that are attached to the car do not rotate with the car anymore (no more sideways rain)
-Photo mode works again
-Camera glitch between begin stage and racing
-quality & vegetation density settings were only being set with a quality setting was changed
-when coming onto the throttle the turbo blow-off sfx is stopped if it is currently playing
