Build 975-978 (08/04/15) -220.1 MB
 
VR:
* Fix for occasional Oculus left eye flickering bug
* Shadows enabled and mostly working with Oculus Rift
* Oculus Rift add support for head-tracking when using Attached Camera's
 
Render:
* Fix for incorrect exposure selection when Helmet Rendering is turned off (either via Show Helmet GUI or option or when running with Oculus Rift)
* WMD-6608: Fixed occlusion system query code to prevent repeatedly adding and removing the occlusion scene graph query to and from the list of queries held by the scene graph - this resulted in a crash due to thread synchronisation in it's old form
* WMD-6582: Render - Cars with small LED do not cast impostor reflections. Fixed - this was caused by code which prevents a large lens flare being created for small LEDs, as the imposters were set to only create where a lens flare was. Now the imposter decision is separated from the lens flare one.

* HttpInterface wip: Added more per-player information to the status page (refid, user id and link to Steam profile). Implemented base http api support classes, working independently (with JSON-based responses) or from within the html-based GUI (redirecting back to any page when done). Added /api/session/kick endpoint, and hooked it from a kick button on the status page
 
Online/Multiplayer:
* WMD-5860: PC - Online - Terminal damaged cars remain on track

The outcome of this is, that results sent to DNP now respect the possibility of participant finishing the race and then being disconnected/leaving etc. - added new metrics event OnParticipantFinished fix for WMD-6358
Characters/Animations:
* Driver anims art: Created gear to animation
* Driver anims art: Formula gulf gear shift update
 
AI/Pitstops:
* WMD-6609: Protect AIPredictions from bad waypoint accesses
* Allow switching Crew back to Player control in pitstop visits. Also per StephenVs request disabling the functionality to switch player int Time Trial + fixing related behaviour. fix for WMD-6611
* Rolling starts: Tested road limit values are no longer projected forwards as the projection is done on the racing line and don't take into account future racing to center line offset change. Immediate road limit values should be quite sufficient for following the center line. As predicted speed is calculated on the racing line, we lower this result to 70% on the less optimal for curves center line so we can take the sharp corners without suffering offroad understeering

* Fixes WMD-6641 and WMD-6595: Replace InitPitStrategy with SetDefaultFuel (which calcs in AIPitValues the default fuel) and SetDefaulTyres so as to not have to recreate new tyres through the heavy NewTire call everytime Fuel is needed. In Vehicle class, add parameter updateHDWheels to control if skipping propagating new tyres to HDVehicle wheels from Vehicle NewTyre in an effort to remove redundant HDVehicle::NewTire call.
 
Physics:
* WMD-6168: Record wheel spawn event, so it can be processed in DNP highlights replay. Allow physics actor to be created with specified index.

Gameplay:
* Various code changes to support WMD-6216 (Gameplay/Physics - Exploits are possible without the player getting penalised sufficiently): 1. Cut track timer is now dynamic according to severity of the cut / 2. Cut track timer now accumulates in the event of multiple cuts in quick succession (however we no longer increase the cut count towards DQ'd) / 3.Timer correctly resets so that it works consistently after triggering previously during a lap / 4. Extended physics interface so that the cut track timer and other app functions now access time estimates between waypoints at a per participant level (thx physics/AI team)
