extra500: version 5.0.0

Drag chute indicator

C182S: adding simulation cabin fog, frost and heat

jeep: added some missing files and Livery fixes.

Cessna 182S:
detailed simulated fuel and engine systems by Bendikt Hallinger - needs correct priming according POH;
fully simulated Davtron 803 by Benedikt Hallinger;
oil management by benih;
winterization kit and engine preheater by Bendikt Hallinger, Gilberto Agostinho and Heiko Schulz;
Start-up States by Benedikt Hallinger;
fully simulated Audio-Panel by Benedikt Hallinger;
new livery with custom registration by Benedikt Hallinger;
engine and fdm tuned to POH - less than 5% difference of fuel flow numbers, power, climbrate and airspeed from POH by Heiko Schulz;
improvement in GUI by Benedikt Hallinger;
many smaller bug fixes and improvements by the whole C182S-team;

F-14: 3d model; connect pilot handle to canopy frame for animations.

(otherwise it gets left behind; not sure where this handle is connected - it might be something that was changed with revisions to the aircraft, however this is a better place for visibility so here it will stay. I've seen photographs of what looks like the handle attached to both the canopy and the windscreen frame)

F-15; V1.8 requires 2017.2

* hardpoint and armament locations corrected; better launch animations
* improved radar simulation, support for RWR, RCS simulation (thanks pinto)
* better TEWS simulation; detects emissions based on aircraft properties (MP)
* support for new redout/blackout system (ALS supported, requires ALS filtering turned on)
* Gear damage by landing at too high descent rate. Each gear can be damaged individually
* AI wake turbulence supported
* Aerodynamics drag model for missiles, tanks (on hardpoints)
* Improved autopilot (thanks Joshua Davidson (it0uchpods))
* Aerodynamics model for ground effect added, NASA-TM-104278, p228
* F15-D canopy improved
* AOA gauge improved; added max / min needles (reset every flight)
* gauges for engines, fuel now need electrical power
* HUD reworked to have better combiner models, recalibrated and runtime performance improved.
* HUD now has DLZ
* radar can be powered off
* added takeoff trim switch support (simply trims to a generally good value)
* changed missile firing order to match aircraft
* Improved missile simulation (thanks Leto)
* CFT
* Chaff and flares added
* PTC retuned

F-14: 2016.1 compatibility fixes

- include emesary files from 2018.1.
- ACLS won't work without the updated carriers from 2016.2 or later.
- add missing (2017.3) string function truncateAt.

F-14: V1.5 release

* radar improvements, RCS simulated, RWR improved, selection,
* carrier landing improved on speed by rework of flap and slat aerodynamics.
* carrier landing: overspeed arrestor wire simulated; small overspeed lessens efficiency, large overspeed breaks wire, takes 60seconds to repair.
* Wingsweep control (throttle quadrant) added
* Nose gear kneel for cat launch and extend
* Revised flaps schedule to better match aircraft.
* Flaps lever in throttle quadrant can now be set to any position. flaps and slats adjusted to be as per aircraft.
* Added chaff / flares Q
* Revised eye point (based on measurements from photos); better for carrier approaches
* Hardpoint and armament locations corrected; better launch animations
* Keybinding "S" for smoke, smoke works on multiplayer
* added lock shoot lights to canopy.
* AIM54 simulated
* HUD: Fixes armament type indication. added lock circle
* Added support for launcher previews and new splashscreens

bugs fixed;
* prevent engagement of launchbar in air
* afterburner sound fixed

improved graph.PlotProperty.setPath()
