Wonderful job . I noticed that the vehicles head lights do not illuminate the ground. Will they ever?  Thankyou.

They are not real lights, but just lighted textures (lightmaps), so they can't illuminate ground. There's definitely a performance cost when using multiple light sources, while lightmaps have zero impact on fps.
