CHANGES TO V3.1
**********************

BUG FIXES / OPTIMIZATIONS:
————————————
- Fix/Renaming of various cars individual number-ID schemes (via v3.1 installer script/code), where different car models were sharing same number-ID and causing conflicts/bugs of all sorts.
- Fix/Renaming of some classes name-ID scheme (via v3.1 installer script/code), where these affected ones would not work with dedicated servers.
- Fixed the Escorts and Capris steering wheel texture bug that happened when both cars encountered on track.

- Fixed the mapping of the side mirrors on the Porsche 911s.
- Fixed a bug on the Porsche 911 IROC speedometer, where the digits were not in correct order.
- Fixes on default GTR2 tracks missing or broken normals in the track meshes, leading to certain ATI GPUs (and some Nvidia GPUs) rendering affected areas as large black patches (bug fixes by Greg ‘unseen’).
- Fixed the AIW bug on “Magny-Cours Club” track, where the car was dropped from the air into grass if skipping outlap in Time Trial (new AIW version by ‘Dangerous Beans’).

- Fixed fuel filler in the boot (trunk) lid position for the GTAm 1750/2000, GTA 1300 Junior’WB’ and GTA 1600 #66006.
- Fixed unmatching dashboards (internal to external and vice-versa) on some Alfa Romeo GTAm 1750/2000.
- Various overall fixes for all the Triumph TR4 versions (repositioned seats in ext.view, resized instruments to fit bezels, s-wheel cowl/column in ext.view, fitted dynamic dirtscreen).
- Various specific fixes for the Triumph TR4 Coupe Sebring #63036-37-38 (fixed instrument lighting and chassis glass no longer clipping track textures in ext.view).
- Various specific fixes for the Triumph TR4 Roadsters #67071 and #67074 (fixed headlight illumination, headlight glass that breaks away on collision, added interior mirror in ext.view).
- Fixed the seat travel on C3 L88 #11 and #12 preventing seeing through the roof when braking.
- Fixed the Jaguar MkII wheels, including centred discs and front discs moved outboard, and also repaired front right caliper.
- Fixed headlamp tape appearing on Lotus Elite #43 when lights switched on.

- Fixed the Ford Escort 1968 Goodyear tyres (changed to GoodYear A-type G4, where A-type is tread pattern (all weather) and G4 is compound).
- Separated the Ford Escort TC FVA from the regular Escort TC, as they differ too much in performance.
- Improved “Anderstorp-North” and “Magny-Cours Club” tracks (conversions used now are by ‘Dangerous Beans’).
- Improved horizontal seat adjustment on DeTomaso Panteras (can go more to the front now).
- Improved vertical seat adjustment on the Porsche 906s (can go a litle higher now).

- Fixed the front collision feelers (re-positioned) for Porsche 906 longtail and 906-E.
- Added missing parameters (in the .CAR files) necessary for endurance-racing driver-swaps (between Player and AI) on Pit-Stops.
- Fixed error in suspension steering arms for Corvette Grand Sport and some other C2s.
- Improved (more accurate) physics for Mini Cooper – your saved setups will require changes. Engines more reliable.
- Separated the Mini Cooper 1275S Group 5 from the other Minis (Group 2), as they differ too much in performance.
- Improved the Abarth TC1000 engines tolerance at high revs.
- Updated P&G Launcher, which includes improved player-profile patching, among other features.

GRAPHICS:
————————————
- The Mini Cooper #69030 (Britax) received wide wheels and arches.
- Updated Ford Escort models (TC and RS) with new details, such as the side quarter window and lower roof line, and also rollcage for the Escort RS.

- Improved sparks, brown-dust and white-smoke effects textures (external contribution from ‘Petty’).

SOUNDS:
————————————
- Small corrections (improved looping) in mid/high RPM in-car sound samples for the Porsche 914/6, 911 ST2.5, Ford Escorts TC and RS, and 60′s Alfa GTA.
- Small adjustments in engine sound samples crossfading/transitions of Porsche 911 ST2.5, Lotus Elan, Ferrari 250GT SWB, Corvette 427 and 60′s Alfa GTA.

- Subtle increase in volume (+1.1dB) of transmission-whine SFX sound samples.
- Subtle improvements in environmental rain sounds (in-car rain stereo sfx is louder +1.1dB, and external rain sfx is now in Mono-channel as required).
- Engine sounds volume parameters adjusted (low vs high RPM range) to provide better dynamics.
- Readjusted blends between low and high speed brake hiss, and the sound samples have also been updated.

UI / HUD / OPTIONS:
————————————
- Fixed a showroom bug on the Porsche 906, where its wheels were floating.
- Fixed a small nomenclature issue with the Gulf GT40 tyre file.
- Separated the Triumph TR4A from the TR4 (description only) due to some diferent aspects (IRS on one, live-axle on the other).
