Preview build for v0.1.51 (without rain for now) (Patreon)

Going to release it tomorrow unless there are some horrible bugs. Not a lot of changes, mainly just fixes. Trees receiving shadows are now optional and disabled by default, that should help with flicker (and I also tried to fix and improve shadow mapping, but just in case), also, found a neat trick to reduce that banding on trees with some dithering (comparison with 2x MSAA, and with 8x).

Also, added a replacement for photo mode app, with a few more helpful options:

Might be especially useful in replays, there it allows to adjust scene: change lighting (change time of day and spin sky to alter light angle), disable damages or dirt, hide driver, force headlights or brake lights on or off.

And if you want to speed up loading a bit, try a couple of new options in “New Behaviour” section, to cache generated grid and payloads of AI splines. As for the rain, still working on it, some previews should be ready soon. 

Thank you for support! And please stay safe.
