- gained 12fps from various performance improvements!
- 2mb taken off file size
- Took out Advanced camera (It was not being used)
- Cleaned up weapon scripts

They were game specific - my code had reduced performance but I updated it and removed a whole lot of unnecessary stuff, putting performance up near that of stock tge

Nice addons James. A little off topic but do you have a link to the PhysX SDK? I'm registered on there and looked at every logical place but can't seem to find it.
