Increased Treefall Animation Rate ("The 'Timber' Mod!")

Description
Increases treefall animation rate from 25 FPS to 60.

This really bugged me, as it was the only thing in the game that updated at a reduced frame rate. This may have been done as it could be expensive to compute for the old, low-powered CPUs from the XBox One and PlayStation 4, as this game was made to work on those systems.

The trees now animate smoothly, and should not be very hard for modern computers to compute - especially given that the game is just over three years old at this point (this point being February 2023).

Please enjoy! (I know I do especially for this one!)

Confirming this mod works with the update. This mod is fantastic and should have been built into the main game

This has bothered me the entire time I've played MW5, and I'm shocked that seemingly nobody else changed it until relatively recently if it's not that costly performance-wise! I did some quick and dirty testing on my 5950X to check, and didn't notice a significant performance cost with the mod enabled vs disabled while felling trees (at comparable ranges for on/off) - but now trees don't suck so much. Thanks!

Well, now I cant go back to NOT having this mod now. So thanks for that, I guess. :)

@GarbageMan - Sure could, but that could make for a lot of different versions of the mod. (I could make 90Hz, 144Hz, 165Hz, 180Hz, and 240Hz versions, as well, for instance. It could be a lot.)

I may do something with this with Mod Options if I learn how to do it someday, but, for now, this is not something I'm currently interested in doing. (60 FPS looks great as is, and calculating the way the trees are programmed to make them refresh at framerates above 60 could be very computationally expensive. I decided to be conservative and stick with 60 FPS as a compromise.)

Thanks.
