Change damage calculations for the wheel so that it uses the speed of the first wheel that we find that has impacted but the up of the SRV instead of the speed of the SRV and the up of the car
Help text for 'Steering left button' and 'Steering right button' both read 'Button for steering left in SRV'
Stop SRV debris falling through ground

Prevent tiny planets from having a combination of basins, large scale deformation, europa linae, rifts and craters which add up to a depth greater than the radius of the planet itself
Changed the bindings of the X52 pro to deal with the issue of not being able to scan. Hard points now deploy by default when a trigger is used and other controls are put in line with the normal x52
Ensure that a pilot is present in a ship and SRV in all instances
Reduced the intensity of the texture and related lights of projectors in the Corvette cockpit to stop them interfering with the compass
Raised the floor of the low poly Sidewinder cockpit in the external ship to avoid clipping with cargo bay/SUV hold. Blacked out section of diffuse under the chair to aid the change
Corrected Diamondback landing gear volumes
Added correct shadows for Federal Assault Ship and Federal Gunship
Drive Spool up time starts at 1.0 in open play in a surface landed ship fixed
Fixed collision on the Type 9 and adjusted landing height to make disembarking easier

Fixed hitcheck issue with Sidewinder convex hull being backwards
Stop ship landing gear collision being in the wrong place for the first few frames
Extra capping on landing pad bases
Fixed offset one of the garages not allowing SRV access
Increased detail of collision mesh around the approach aprons for the the large and medium landing pads, so if the player manages to drive the SRV up there it will react to the geometry better
Adjusted landing volumes for Vulture
Adjusted landing volumes for the Federal Gunship
Updated the Imperial Fighter's default colour scheme
Fixed broken UVs on Viper MkIV's utility hardpoints
Changes to smooth out jerky camera motion from the inertial simulation during supercruise transitions - Primarily aimed at Orbital Cruise to Glide transition
When dropping to Glide make sure the Normal-space Ship is told about its above-normal starting velocity to prevent glide being interpreted as a huge instantaneous acceleration
Slight change to the speed curve in Orbital Cruise so that the players ship will naturally tend towards 2.5k/s a little more strongly in the last second, so we get a much smaller speed discontinuity
The temporary placeholder ship used during the transition now inherits velocity correctly, removing speed/FOV discontinuity at both ends
Changes to Cockpit Orbital Hud so that when players try to steer back towards the planet they understand what is going on:
When below the drop out height but leaving the planet, mark the whole bottom half of the pitch gauge red
Fix the altimeter so it displays usefully at these altitudes
Improved loading to reduce stalls during ident movie
Updated translations added

Turn on main engines by defaultso that dying while landed doesn't respawn you with a disabled ship
Networked the direction of the buggy turret
Add anti ship weapons to match anti buggy weapons in certain POI scenes and appropriate trespass zones
Improved surface details by adding more bump from the normals close up and reducing tiling at distance due to the alpha not being faded out at the same time as the normal

Fix disappearing blue circle for POIs
Fixed skimmers at illegal POIs not having bounties

Made some of the smaller POIs only visible in the buggy
Don’t render no fly zones on the scanner if you’re in the SRV
When evaluating the terrain for flatness when spawning POIs handle the case when one of the ray casts hits an edge of a triangle and goes through the mesh without hitting it
