Requisiti minimi e info utili + Build notes

[VELOCIPEDE]

Build 547 (22/8/13, Team Member+)
GUI:
* Added missed delete of camera sphere area
* Updated MainMenu UI and sprites
* Fix for livery name in vehicle model select screen
Tracks:
* Azure Circuit: New textures
* Volusia: Add textures for nascar media building and interior

*KNOWN ISSUES* The new UI isn't great on 3 screen set ups yet. But the game works, so rough with the smooth?.

Build 546 (22/8/13, Team Member+)
Physics:
* Tires: hooked up memery tracking hook
X64:
* Added x64 script loading from sep dir. Added loading of 64bit sg's from pakfiles
Steam-based multiplayer WIP:
* Fixed Steam includes
* Steam-based sessions now set their name to a Steam lobby attribute
* Implemented session browser. No filtering yet
* Host no longer sets Steam's "lobby not joinable flag". Marking lobbies as not joinable makes them disappear from Steam browse lists, which we do not want during development. But it also means that Steam will now let players join logically unjoinable lobbies via its overlay, so this change will need to be reverted closer to release
Render:
* Implemented missing DX11 line draw
Common:
* Various memory leak/trace fixes
GUI:
* New source sprites and background images used by the updated UI
Audio:
* A new Racer V8-RS incar and external engine sets, plus an AI version. The incar is from the same source as the old one but a wider array, greater details and more dynamic. The external engine set is from trackside recordings and I'm very happy with the results - I hope you like them. Update also includes the latest sound events such as int/ext gearshifts, backfires/splutters and distant based effects. The trajectory and roll-offs are copied from the Capri and are working very well!
Career:
* Changed names of placeholder Career data to make it easier to distinguish them from Season data
* Refactored ChampionshipManager to handle multiple sets of data for Career as well as Seasons, and mode setting. Career events can now be launched soon (only launches first in sequence for now, will be working shortly)
Tracks:
* Azure Circuit: New textures
* Volusia: New terrain mapping and textures, new road lines and trackedges, vertex painting applied, dirt overlay added, seams overlay added, another type for asphalt, CSM tweaks, merged latest stuff from JanP and TomasT,add textures for spectator area
* Eifelwald: New export
Vehicles:
* Mitsubishi Lancer: Animation files. Changed wipers animation speed. Fixed LODX Door Glass not getting glass effect. * New Wiper animation and mask. Updated Windows and Windshield materials
* BMW M3 E30 Group A: More tuning of default setup and applied lots of info from the spare parts catalog and homologation papers
* Ford MkIV: Added Liveries 15+16
* Ford MkIV: Added Liveries 11-14

Build 549 (27/8/13, Team Member+)
Render:
* Fix for bad coords
* Fix for missing return.
* Fix for missing brace on DX9 triangle draw.
* Additional new pixel definition variable
* Added in new index buffer tyep to handle point lists

* Split up the environment data into 4 section which we can load and unload separately therefore allowing us to be able to control the systems data more. The sections are, Base Render data (rendertargets etc..) , Weather condition data , Level Data (skyrings etc) and Lighting Data. All render and weather data is now loaded as a boot phase and kept as persistent throughout the entire game. This will help load times to track and also reduce memory fragmentation when loading and unload textures
Career:
* Career Calendar updates, fix to map not displaying, linked up record panel (wip).
Audio:
* All new BMW M1 Procar incar and external engine sets, plus an AI version. Update also includes the latest sound events such as int/ext gearshifts, backfires/splutters and distant rolloffs and trajectory. Listen for the carburetor opening up and hear the air getting sucked in

Weather System:
* Change to code so the decompression buffer uses what ever space is left in the main buffer

Sink junior member, perchè non riesco a correre online? É normale. Cmq dopo un anno che non lo provavo, devo dire che a livello di fisica\ff è diventato molto piacevole e coincolgente
