Sound:

Bug Fixes:
-Fix for potential leak when default shadow material was created twice without removing the first copy - only occurred when non-default shadow settings were used, and only effected one small object, so nothing major, just ensures that we have a clean exit. Code tested on all platforms

Vehicles:
-Focus RS: Disabled backfire flames
-Staro SRS: Disabled backfire flames
Build 398 (4/2/13, Senior Manager)
Bug Fixes:
-Fixed a DX11 only leak - a render target which needed a resolve buffer would leak the resolve buffer on destruction. Only known problem case was main buffer phase 3 render target, so was in fact only ever leaking on exit from game
-Added some safety checks to exit code - no impact on normal usage, but helps with debugging exit code as it prevents invalid memory access via a zeroed pointer when focus switches to and from the app
-Fixed incorrect object type in HUD data file
Camera:
-Remapped R/F keys for up/down to Y/H in order to remove conflicts with pause menu keys etc
GUI:
