Summary0002902: Player engine loop uses forward velocity for volume
DescriptionIn hud.cpp, update_throttle_sound() uses forward velocity to determine what volume the engine loop sound should play at in most cases. Now that we have the ability to use semi-Newtonian physics (as in e.g. Diaspora), we should always use forward thrust to determine engine volume. Otherwise, we end up with no engine volume even when the engine should be working at full thrust.
