Xbox 360 Stuff Pack [v3.2 Beta]

NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED (2005) - XBOX 360 STUFF PACK
Version 3.2 Beta

This mod will try to make your game look more like Xbox 360 release of NFSMW (2005). This is beta release of new version, meaning that something may not look or work exactly as intended.

Key changes:

Xbox 360 shaders ported to PC version, although with various tweaks and workarounds because of missing graphical features:
_____Car Shader, which supports noise flake on metallic paints, normal maps (fake depth technique), radiosity (imitation of Ambient Occlusion) and visible sun specular
_____Visual Treatment filter, which gives more accurate Xbox 360 look
_____Xbox 360 sky, which has more depth to it thanks to horizon gradients and support for unique overcast clouds
_____Sky bloom which closer to sunset and during sunset emmits special bloom (blue during pre-sunset, red during sunset)
_____Reflections in building windows are distorted/transfomred in Xbox 360 way
_____Xbox 360 harsh shadow filtering
_____Xbox 360 water, with reflections and distortions
_____Xbox 360 trees, which have more vibrant autumn colors, especially during sunset
_____And other changes...

@ICERIG the contrails are already in the game, but the game doesn't actually render them due to missing code

Fix please: If you look at the trees they have the old motion blur from the game and at the end of rockport some trees can be seen through a mountain
We need: Darker tunnels, car wind effect (from nfsc), shadow in location( shop, car lot, garage, main menu), xbox 360 water and more.

@elaymm4 So I'm actually not getting too big of a performance hit in Windows, but in Linux using Wine, the game is limited to 30 FPS. It won't go any higher, and I have a GTX 1080 in my laptop with the latest proprietary driver. Using an older version of the tweaks script fixes this (I'm using the one from here: https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/828 though it has some of its own issues because it's an old version.

This is awesome. It'd be great if we could get the particles from the 360 version, but it's already been stated that it'd be hard, if not outright impossible to do that. The only alpha issues I'm having are with the trees on Camden Tunnel Road, between Rockport and Camden Beach (they disappear in the sky, as noted in the CURRENT BUGS section). Any idea what causes this?
