Now, be advised: This is LABELLED as RC-1, because it is getting VERY
close to final, but a few more tweaks are likely.
But, if you want to find any bugs to get them solved before the final
release, THEN YOU ARE ALMOST OUT OF TIME... GET THIS RC NOW!
As well, I am asked about the TECHNO I listen to while coding, from
time to time... check it out here!

And now the new stuff for RC-1!
Oil and fuel pressure modeling improved: Now we simulate both the pump
and the over-pressure regulator.
This should lead to more accurate simulation of these systems. Be sure
to set the low and high oil and fuel pressure
green-arc limits in Plane-Maker to really get the best use out of
these systems, since the simulation I wrote does
tune the pumps to try to keep the pressures in the green-arc range!
New instrument: Select/engage vvi/alt, in the autopilot sel/engage
folder... This is used on the Bendix-King autopilots that used to be
popular.
Making the aircraft out of 1 obj in Plane-Maker will auto-position the
landing gear for you (rather than making you find the right dataref
to place the gear), which makes things a bit easier to generate
aircraft objects for airport scenery and the like, with the landing gear
already in the right place.
The 'x-mapped file ran out of memory' error that a few of you got
sometimes should be solved... give it a try now!
Memory use while flying is reduced as well.
Airplane named lights can be used for static aircraft - they will stay
"on" when used for a static plane rather than copying what the user's
plane does.
As well, there are new datarefs for airplane lights.
Panel drawing optimized slightly for a hair more speed.
OK grab it and test it!
