__________________________________________________________

Still to fix:

- Some buildings are still a little too "glow in the dark" at night.

These are converts from AussiePak1 which were toned down, but could use some better lighting.

- Lost the edge grass facade functionality in the 10.20 betas. Bug report submitted.
