Changelog v1.2
###########################
- AutoCam - You don't have to worry about your camera anymore! Just tilt your Sixaxis Controller left and right and enjoy the ride.
You can still get your Free Camera by pressing 'Fire' two times.
- Cruise Control for the Snowboard. You don't have to hold down 'forward' all the time. Just go faster than walking
speed and it will go full throttle by itself. Hold 'back' to reduce your speed now.
- Bug fixed: Trick animations not showing right on client.
- Bug fixed: Removed camera lagging when being teleported.
- More minor bugfixes
