Wreckfest Realism Overhaul

• Ground/Airborne Gravity & Aero Drag
  
• Vehicle Deformation & Damage Model (Armor drastically helps reduce deformation)
  
• Environmental Damage & Friction
  
• Particle System Re-evaluated
  
• Dirt Accumulation
  
• Skidmark Parallax

I have adjusted both regular and airborne gravity to be more realistic. You won't slide around on the track as much as before, making it feel like the vehicle has more grip. When landing jumps, the vehicle feels like it has more of an impact. You will run faster lap times than stock by a few seconds, due to this.

The damage and deformation model have been changed for NORMAL DAMAGE ONLY. Realistic, Intense and Extreme are untouched. It takes more destruction to destroy the vehicles now. Along with that, the deformation of the vehicles has been brought down to a less exaggerated level. This will give the vehicles a tough feel where the mechanical parts within it won't break as easy. Vehicles will look similar to what your local demolition derby vehicles look like when hauled off the field. Putting armor on the vehicle will greatly help it's deformation be reduced as it should and your armor pieces won't fall off as easy.

The damage that is taken when you hit a concrete wall or metal fence has also been reduced. Getting rolled over onto your side causes you to stick to the ground more initiating more tumbles and rolls. Vehicles no longer "float" when you hit them giving impacts more crunch and the change for you to actually roll over the vehicle you hit. Dirt accumulation on the vehicles has been adjusted so now it will take anywhere from 3-5 minutes before your car looks heavily dirty (was 1-1.5 minutes by default), the transition is very subtle over time.

Dirt and Smoke/Fire particle effects have been adjusted so they react more like they should in real life. Now there are no longer small plumes of dust under the wheels of the vehicles and instead large clouds of dust that slowly dissipate over time. This effect may reduce frames if you do not have very strong computer components, so please let me know if this is a hindrance and if enough complain I can move it into a separate mod. Smoke now lasts slightly longer and is about twice as large as it was before.

Skidmarks on dirt terrain now have a deeper rutty look to them, I attempted to get them to last longer but haven't figured that out yet. Hopefully soon if it is possible.
