MSTS Improved Default Road Sections

I can't take credit for the solution, only the implementation.  The idea for the LinearMipLinear fix and -3 fix is probably almost as old as MSTS - I'm not even sure who thought it up originally.  All I did was apply it to the default road sections.  It greatly improves their appearance from a distance or at high angles of incidence (close to the road, looking along it).

Installation:
As in any situation, it's recommended that you back up the original files first.  To aid in this, I included a batch file entitled 'roadbak.bat'.  Place this file in the \Global\Shapes folder of your Train Simulator install and run it.  It should create a subfolder of \Global\Shapes entitled 'roadbak' and move all of the default road sections to it. 

The rest of the process is simply putting the 76 .s files in this zip file's 'shapes' folder into the \Global\Shapes folder.

That's it.  All routes (using the default road sections) will be affected.  Enjoy.
