Re: [Crrcsim-devel] Updates to src & models

[<luc...@li...>]

Dear developers,

I've pushed a few bug-fixes of my recent updates, following very helpful 
comments and advices from Joel Lienard.
Now everything should work fine, although I had to de-activate again the 
change of video resolution on Win32 (but window resize is working).

Kind regards,

Luca
