Wet weather:
* RainFX ready


Graphical Fixes:
* Shaders with alpha channels - transparency issues sorted
* Building on the outside of Sunset corner was misplaced over the wall/fence


Graphical Updates:

INSTALLATION

CM Users - drop zipped file onto install icon.
Non CM and Non SP users - install the shader in the link above if you dont have it, and then install the track.

IMPORTANT:
DELETE existing version in tracks folder before installing new version if the last version you had installed was 0.8.0. or 0.8.1


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUILD NOTES:
- Updated Pit Exit position
- Updated AI line and hints file (still wip)
- Texture optimizations
- Optimized track structure refactor
- Minor kerbs update in two off-racing line sections
- Graphics enhancements
- Additional props
- Invalid track surface has very small amount of damping to slightly penalize going off track, tried to make this feel more natural. LMK

KNOWN ISSUES:
- Grass mesh still needs to be cleaned up at kerbs edge, so AI L and R lines will have artifacts in some areas. (AI Linehelper can fix this for now)
- This is the next major task I plan on tackling.

THANKS:
@RowanZa AI hints
@Fanapryde and @ndv99 for corner names

0.8.2.1 Build Notes:

Installation

If youre NOT running Content Manager of Shaders Patch, install this:

PerPixelMultiMap with Emissive map

Adds a 5th slot, txEmissive, to ksPerPixelMultiMap, that's multiplied by the ksEmissive setting. Lets you go from this to this: (artist's conception, not representative of the actual parts of the taillights that are brake-related) To install...
