Audio:
* Added 'trajectory' param, based on car angles to camera
* Enabling new 'trajectory' parameter for directional trackside audio. Currently experimental settings only
* The Atom 3 SC limiter no longer beeps like an alarm on the limiter. I changed the supercharger profile so it's not audible at the limiter and also eq'd out a high frequency from the limiter sound samples
* The Atom 3 SC no longer shares engine audio assets with other vehicles
WiiU:
* WiiU fix for Late Anim Tick causing loading crash

Vehicles:
* Formula Gulf 1000: Fix for piece of cloth clipping through: changed position of feet on pedals , raised by 2 cm
* Ford GT40 MkIV: Removed errant space in filename that was breaking the custom liveries

Build 534 (7/8/13, Team Member+)
Render:
* Resource Management refcounting made threadsafe using Atomics on all platforms
* Removed refcounting/removetexture sequence on SetDefaultEnvmap - there was potential for this to be not threadsafe (one thread could increment the reference while removetexture was in the middle of deleting it, and the code was really just 'housekeeping)
Audio:
* Fix for gear wobble affecting frequency of engine sounds using a frequency multiplier
* Atom 3 SC and SP300R checked in with a fix to the octave pitch issue. I also fix the issue causing the Atom 3 SC engine not to play. Both now have gear wobbles
GUI:
* Added 2 new Pit Strategy screen text lines
Physics:
* GT Slick - GreenFlash: Changes to camber response and a significant rebalancing of the various grips. May be slightly faster than before
* FFB: Default tweaker based on the Zonda R file which got good feedback in last test
Tracks:
* Azure Circuit: New export
Vehicles:
* RUF RGT8: LODX model done
* Pagani Zonda R: Changed roll bar stiffness
* Pagani Zonda R: reduced bump steer on both ends. revised default setup for new tire
* Formula B and Caterham SP300R: Removed boost until a more accurate system is developed
* FG1000: Switched to new BAC Mono sound as a better placeholder
* BMW M3 GT4: Tweaks for red rim textures
* BMW M3 GT4: Added last 2 liveries + fixed #32

*KNOWN ISSUES* Ghost saving and loading seems to be broken at the moment. It is a server side fix we think, so will keep you guys up to date.

Build 533 (6/8/13, Team Member+)
WiiU:
* WiiU minor fix for initial small deferred target setup in BeginFrameTasks (also was missing MAX_RENDER_THREADS variant)
Render:
* Lighting fixes for Rear View Mirror when rendering in MultiThreaded mode
* DX11MT Fix Dynamic Envmap default envmap setting + don't overlap static/dynamic envmap rendering for now. Fixes flicker fences in main view
* (All platforms) DefaultEnvmap can be set per renderthread
* DX11MT fix for hang on race loading at night
Audio:
* Atom 3 SC incar and external engine set, plus an AI version.Including all the latest sound events such as int/ext gearshifts, backfires/splutters and distant based effects and roll-offs.There is no gear wobble - those wild octave pitch changes are somehow related. So I've removed this until the code guys can nail down the cause
Tracks:
* Derby: Crowds - fixed floating and cutting crowds, updated wrong positions
Vehicles:
* BMW M3 GT4: Added 16 user created liveries
* BMW M3 GT4: Added colour variations for rims + cpit paint
