Build 144 (3/2/12, Junior Members +)

MUST START A NEW PROFILE WITH THIS BUILD

Increased threshold for engine vibe at high speed/revs

Added wheel helper shapes to vehicle actor to retain basic collision response for wheels.

Forces and damage resulting from wheel-to-wheel contacts are applied to vehicle.

Added support for factor (specified in data) to adjust the amount of effects applied on wheel-to-wheel contacts.

Game server protocol changes:

- Added support for alternative game server port received from the redirector. This will allow us to switch to Java-only server easily in the future

- The game will now request replies to be in the formatted text format. This argument is ignored by the PHP server as it does not support any other format, but will be required once we switch to the Java server

- Added handling of free trial login replies

Build 153 (16/2/12, Senior Manager)

Removed all statics from HDR control, these were causing interference between the rear view mirror and the main scene.

Build 154 (17/2/12, Team Member +)

Disabled other uses of key combinations required by freecam when in freecam mode, to prevent accidental debug information etc

Changed shake effect code to properly reflect requested frequency, by not resetting to a movement endpoint on whole tick boundaries

Pre heat brakes to optimal values based on vehicle

Added undertray scrape audio volume

Ensure newer Fanatec controllers cannot match to older Turbo S wheel

Add profile option to toggle HUD map on/off

Completed last few remaining free-camera isses which were effected by pausing and unpausing the game.

Changed call to camera callback when paused to use core tick rate (180Hz) instead of sub tick rate (30Hz) as basis for the timer value, this fixes the camera speed changing when paused

Added custom Depth of Field mode

Enable camera editing when paused

Reduced effect of wheel to wheel collisions (and chance of them happening to the player)
