- the dead zones were not adjustable by the user but now are
- the axes visible in game now match the options screen
Optimisations:
Decreased CPU used when drawing tyres
- reduces CPU used by official GTR cars by around 7%
- smaller optimisation for suspension parts

- saves 4 extra subobject switches for most cars
An optimisation specially for external views
- avoid begin/end scene when drawing env maps/shadows
Tiny opt when drawing driver (avoid some integer maths)
Tiny opt (set projection matrix only once per frame)
