AI:
-fixed AI cars slowing down near garage locations of remote vehicles in multiplayer.
-fixed AI slowing down for cars in pits for some tracks (brianza)

-fixed ai slow downs when only ai on a client (ie, when you’re connected to multiplayer game and turn control over to ai)

-improved ai handling of front-wheel drive cars
UI/HUD:
-added new toggle gizmo for RFM page for virtual mods to show up in RFM spinner

-tried to autojoin the server after downloading and installing it’s mod.

-fixed tracks coming up with wrong handedness in cases where starting grid is 3-2-3-2 (or really any, as long as at least 2 cars are next to each other in all rows) instead of standard 2-2-2-2. (was causing ai cars to violently swerve when skipping formation laps & other problems)
-Some changes made to speed up selecting a different mod (hopefully this doesn’t break anything).
-fixed possible thread-safety issue
MULTIPLAYER:
-changed dedicated server caption to be the base directory to help server operators distinguish between multiple servers on a single computer.

-Improved replays of parts falling off vehicles.

However, this sometimes causes a side effect in replay/multiplayer of a tire spinning unnaturally in order to move to the correct orientation.
