Random Thermals Update

Before the thermals where in fixed positions across the map, and you could predict where one was going to be. To make the gameplay more dynamic thermals now populate randomly across the terrain. Each thermal spawns at a different strength, and when active is forming clouds above it. This makes it a bit more challenging and keeps you on your toes looking for that next big thermal. You can also fly far across the map as the thermals randomly populate around you. In theory you should be able to fly off the map ;) Here is a video of making it to cloud base: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_p_rHj-sbA

All fixes:
-Make thermals spawn randomly within a 2000 meter radius of the player's position.
-Increases thermal strength and made thermal strength more random.
-Fixed Playstation controller not working.
-Removed cloud artifacts on the satellite data terrain.
-Fixed particles not rotating with the thermal.
-Fixed issue where you can’t navigate the options menu with a xbox / playstation controller.
-Adjusted paragliding spot camera so it starts in front of the glider and you can watch the glider pass.
-Thermals drift in wind properly.
