Fix physics on modern computers
The player's truck seems to have a tendency to get stuck on terrain frequently when running the game at high FPS. Limiting FPS to 60 seems to fix this. Unfortunately V-Sync and NVIDIA's FPS limiter doesn't seem to work with this game on modern systems (Windows 10+). d3d8to9 fixes this.
