I noticed beacons run when game is paused and also ignore simulation speed, always running at wall time. I remembered there are multiple other issues like this (props/water waves moving when paused) and I figured a way to tackle everything at once - I changed the time input for the entire scene update code (which is already consolidated into `GfxScene::UpdateScene()`) - instead of inputting wall time, I now input the adjusted simulation time, and I input zero if the game is paused or physics are globally paused. The particles had a custom code to correctly calc. sim. time and skip the update entirely when paused. I reverted all that, expecting the adjusted time input to fix particles, but that didn't work. I already researched this at RigsOfRods#3138 and figured to use `Ogre::ParticleSystem::setSpeedFactor()` - that did the trick.
Particles fixed: exhausts, cparticles, turboprops, turbojets, terrain object particles. Known issue: Particle time to live still runs on real time - this appears to be a bug in OGRE. Overview of changes: * Created helper `GfxScene::AdjustParticleSystemTimeFactor()`, applied to all particle systems in game. * Exhausts and CParticles moved from Actor (actor.h + simdata.h) to GfxActor (gfxactor.h + gfxdata.h). * Terrain object particle systems are now stored in vector<> in order to update their pace.

A few things are still running on wall time: Reflection+refraction water (didn't test reflection only and basic), HydraX caustics and wobbliness. Other than that (and, like in my attempt the sparks behaving weirdly) it's fine. |

@Miner34dev Thanks for the research, I've done a lot of water changes in #3142 so I'll fix these after it's merged. |

While fixing #3169 I noticed beacons run when game is paused and also ignore simulation speed, always running at wall time. I remembered there are multiple other issues like this (props/water waves moving when paused) and I figured a way to tackle everything at once - I changed the time input for the entire scene update code (which is already consolidated into
GfxScene::UpdateScene()) - instead of inputting wall time, I now input the adjusted simulation time, and I input zero if the game is paused or physics are globally paused.The particles had a custom code to correctly calc. sim. time and skip the update entirely when paused. I reverted all that, expecting the adjusted time input to fix particles, but that didn't work - they don't use that input. I already researched this at #3138 and figured to use
Ogre::ParticleSystem::setSpeedFactor()- that did the trick.UPDATE: I synced all particles to simulation time: exhausts, cparticles, turboprops, turbojets, terrain object particles.
Known issue: Particle time to live still runs on real time - this appears to be a bug in OGRE.
