Test Patch E4 - FPS increase and KB steer test

Hello Racers,

Here's a new test patch...

- It can now take advantage of Hardware Vertex Shading
- It provides some new keyboard steering methods.

Hardware Vertex Shading

This patch can improve frame rate significantly if you have a high end
graphics card. This is achieved by making use of Hardware Vertex
Shading. In old versions, this could be attempted by turning on "HTL"
but the performance was poor because of a flaw or bug. The new version
is known as "HVS" and can be turned off using the line "Use HVS 0" in
the cfg.txt. HVS is switched on by default when you run this patch.
The HVS status is visible in the Options...Graphics screen.

NOTE : when HVS is used, "simple car" and "simple track" will cause a
reduction in frame rate because they do not take advantage of HVS.
So these options are not recommended and will be switched off when you
run the patch for the first time.

Keyboard Steering TEST

Three new keyboard steering methods have been introduced.
The old version, which has a reputation for being too helpful, is still
available for now, and is known as "two way limited stabilised".

I'm hoping that some of the new versions will be considered acceptable to
keyboard users and wheel users, because they don't catch skids at all or
as well - depending on the version that is selected. If we can find an
acceptable steering method then the old one will not be allowed in future.

The four keyboard steering systems in this test patch are :

"no help" - keyboard steering translates directly to physical steering.
the user can steer too far, forcing the car to understeer.

"one way limited not stabilised" - the total amount of steer available
INTO the corner is limited to the maximum slip angle, taking into
account the front wheels' direction of motion. Steering in the
direction OUT of the corner is limited to the maximum slip angle but
disregarding the direction of motion. No skid correction is provided.

"one way limited semi stabilised" - as above but there is a certain
amount of skid correction provided. The neutral position is between
the two limits. The skid correction is not perfect because one of the
limits does not take into account the direction of motion. The user
must take some skid correction action.

"two way limited stabilised" - this is the old controversial keyboard
steering. The steering limits into AND out of the corner both take
into account the direction of motion of the front wheels. The neutral
position is between these two limits, and provides perfect skid control.
The user does not need to take any action to correct a skid.
