Hi all,

Here are some fixes for V0.112 on the experimental branch.
I may have gotten carried away with some graphics tweaks.

Additions

• Added stop-gap cheat to make applique armour purely aesthetic. This is planned to be removed with addon structures.
• Trees are now affected by wind.
• Added experimental graphics setting to enable tracks to push grass down.
• Added muzzle flash effect for medium size cannons.

Fixes

• Spare tracks and external fuel barrels now have reasonable mass again.
• Attached part mass wasn't being considered in the physics sim, it is now.
• Fixed name validation issues with faction creation.
• Fixed AIs only moving up to a certain point in the new Fields by themselves.
• Fixed armour view not disabling correctly when returning to the main menu.
• Fixed track end wheel mount selection GUI not updating correctly to the currently selected mount.
• Removed holes in new Fields map border.
• Stopped the game locking up when trying to play with tracks with no roadwheels (broke again in V0.112).
• Shell ground impact visual effects now scale with shell size.
• Reduced black pixel artefacts on cannon muzzle flash effects.
• Fixed not being able to place on track panels after armour view has been enabled.

Changes

• Adjusted all external armour mass.
• Made external armour mass and thickness more accurate when scaled.
• Changed grass shader, looks better and runs better.
• Game version now permanently displayed.
• Adjusted wind for all levels.
• Tweaks to "The Crossroad" lighting and fog.
• Track resistance is no longer inversely proportional to roadwheel diameter.
• Added more smoke to engine fires.

Optimizations

• Disabled attached part model merging. While it saved CPU performance, it threw a wrench in GPU rendering. The multi-threading improvements are still working.
