[VELOCIPEDE]

Build 426 (14/3/13, Senior Manager)
Render:
* Shader error message given more detail
* Fix for lods on reflection
* Improved cloud env map settings for performance + setup new face offset for this map.
* Reduce cloud env map resolution - it's only ever convolved so 128x128 is way more than enough for low to high reflections

* Fix clearing of the convolve render-target - the convolve renders to the whole quad and the clear is no longer needed for SLI/XF
* Add 'face offset' support to the CDynamicEnvmap class - allows each envmap to have a unique face offset so they aren't all rendering the same faces each frame which causes peaking loading
Enviroment:
* Added AddKeyLight and RemoveKeyLight methods to EnvironmentManager for main menu usage
* Add cloudenvmap place holder setting for when the viewsettings are re-enabled again
HUD:
* Fix for HUD 'lite' not working

* Solitude Rennstrecke: New export
* Solitude Rennstrecke: New AIW
* Moravia: Exported sitting crowds + crowds placement

Build 428 (18/3/13, Senior Manager)
Render:
* Fix for missing opponents in Rear View Mirror Bug + fix for obscured mirror issue
* Applied the same early out rendermode pre-resolve to the main mesh rendering - this saves around 60% of calls the primitive rendering sequence. (On Bologna this saves ~3500 matrix multiples and eliminates more trawling through render code that will never result in a drawcall).

Build 432 (21/3/13, Team Member+)
