Added

Flight Model:
- Realistic Flight Dynamics (it's pretty nifty).
- Realistic Engine Simulation.
- Flight control actuators.
- Realistic force based slat simulation (spring and gravity).
- Stabiliser trim.
- Wing vapour effect.
- Cockpit shake effect.
- Basic wing overstress.
- Damage to engine and aerodynamic surfaces (physically simulation only).
- Realistic suspension.
- Differential brakes.
- Compatibility with all carriers.
Systems:
- Fuel system:
  - Zero and negative g effects on fuel flow.
  - Boost pump, Engine pump and Wing pump failure effects.
  - Emergency transfer is simulated.
  - Caution panel ladder lights for boost and transfer.
  - Fuel panel switch functions.
  - Bypass switch can bypass the wing tank in case of wing leak.
  - Flight refuel switch no longer bypasses wing tank, this enables/disables external tank flight refueling.
- CP-741/A Bombing Computer:
  - In range light illuminates when within a distance that pulling up 45 degrees would release the bombs.
- AN/ARC-51A UHF Radio:
  - Radio with VOIP (thanks TheRealHarold)
  - Salute option and Request Launch options to radio menu.
- AN/ARN-52 TACAN and AN/ARA-63 MCL:
  - TACAN for moving objects (tankers and ships) and portable TACAN stations.
  - Manual Carrier Landing (MCL/ICLS) system and its bit test.
  - Note for TACAN and MCL/ICLS: The method used relies on the mission file. This means for a TACAN or MCL to be detected the unit (or unit with the same unit name) must exist in the mission file. Replacement objects can be spawned in to replace dead units however they must have a name which contains the original name to be correctly found by the TACAN and MCL system. This method should work 99% of the time with regular missions however if you run into trouble it is worth checking the following conditions:
    - Unit with TACAN/MCL exists in the mission file (placed in editor).
    - Equivalent unit with a name which contains the original name of the unit placed in the editor (for example UNIT3 would find a unit named UNIT3_OTHERSTUFF, if UNIT3 needed to be respawned).
    - Unit does not share a channel regardless of X or Y band.
- AN/APG-53A Radar overhaul:
  - Radar can cast many more rays per frame.
  - Gaussian beam shape is simulated using monte carlo sampling.
  - Range lines can now be lit by the reticle knob, and are now drawn on top of the radar returns and remain visible.
  - Updated screen simulation and storage to be more realistic.
  - Updated radar reflection values for cities and other reflective terrain features.
  - Ships can be detected by the radar.
  - A Legacy Mode option in special menu is present allows might save users with older CPUs some performance.
- AN/ASN-41 Navigation Computer:
  - System now integrates from starting position functioning correctly.
  - Integration happens in D1 and D2 only, set to D1 or D2 to have the correct position. Switching to STBY will pause the integration.
  - The AN/APN-153 Doppler Navigation Radar is vital to preventing drift. Minor errors are introduced for sensors producing drift over time. Average drift is about 2 - 3 nautical miles per hour. Drift will increase with heavy maneouvering.
- AFCS and APC:
  - Re-wrote AFCS and APC for EFM integration.
  - AFCS rolls out when disabling heading mode.
  - AFCS test (cursory implementation, the indicators do not function correctly yet).
  - Stability Augmentation Switch (yaw damper).
- Catapult Power Mode toggle for carrier launches - DEFAULT mode supports the Stennis and Supercarrier. A new mode, AUTO makes speed and mass calculations when launching from aircraft carrier mods (for example, the HMAS Melbourne) more realistic. (Default: 'LCtrl+U').
- Oxygen system (hypoxia is enabled).
- Air data computer AXC-666 for AN/ASN-41 and CP-741/A, no external functionality, but this lays some ground work for more realistic simulation.
Weapons and Loadouts:
- SUU-25 Parachute illumination pod for night ops.

Changed

General:
- Menu icon.
- Menu screen.
- Updated installation and troubleshooting instructions.
Flight Model:
- Surfaces, horizontal stab, elevator, vertical stab, rudder, to not use beta, as this previously caused an ill defined wind axes to body transformation at high beta values causing the lift/drag values to be inverted.
- Significantly increased slats lift.
- Increased induced drag at high AoA (unrealistic negation of lift and drag caused by the issue above at > 90 deg AoA or beta).
- Increased wing drag onset at > 40 degrees AoA.
- Beta calculated per surface rather than using the overall airframe beta. This fixes some edge of the envelope nastiness
- XY moment of inertia to match real value (effects tumbling).
- Slats lift increased slightly.
- Engine damage has now more dynamic effect.
- Improved ground handling and break handling.
- Slow release for brakes when using keyboard rather than instantly going to zero. This allows the brakes to be feathered below the point where the wheels lock.
- Overhaul centre of gravity modelling.
Systems:
- AFCS will not engage with rudder uncentred.
- Re-wrote AFCS for EFM integration.
- ILS mode on TACAN has been changed to A/A and functions as such.
- Changed radar to be compatibile with SRS pull request.
- ASN-41 Navigation Computer:
  - AN/ASN-41 error was being cancelled due to mathematical operation. This has been rectified. The drift will now be significant (1-2 nautical miles per hour, depending on manoeuvres).
  - Slew knob can be used to change the destination coordinates in STBY, D1, and D2 modes.
  - Push-to-set knobs no longer change coordinates in D1 and D2 modes.
- Fuel System:
  - New bypass switch will bypass the wing tank in case of wing leak.
  - Flight refuel switch will no longer bypass wing tank, this enables/disables external tank flight refueling.
Animation:
- Rudder pedal animation no longer tied to rudder position.
- Updated mirror code for better rear visibility in mirrors.
- Lowered default cockpit view to allow visibility of the zero mil position.
- Nosewheel castering adjusted to match animation.
Textures:
- Textures renamed to be standardised, to prevent all known mod conflicts.
- Roughmets, weathering, normal maps.
- Wheels and gear.
- Cockpit textures (in external view). (thanks JP Gabobo)

- Weapon Function Selector labels.
- Canopy seal.
- Gunsight. (thanks Sport)

Liveries:
- Standardised livery lua files.
- Improved inaccuracies and naming across liveries.
Inputs:
- Keybinds recategorised.
- Improved keybinding names.
- Renamed fuel pressurisation.
- Updated default controller bindings for Warthog throttle and CH Fighter Stick.
- Moved keybinds to increase EFM maintainability: this unforuntately destroys all your existing keybinds.
- Aligned controls indicator to bottom-left (friendlier for VR).

Missions:
- Quickstart missions weather updated for 2.7.
- TACAN and MCL training mission.
- The radio manual frequency now starts at the channel 1 preset.
- Enabled cockpit lights by default between the 1700 and 0500 hours.
