    - Rain (ambient and windshield) and thunderstorms
    - Wing damage
    - Wheel damage
* Windshield rain overhaul
* Opening the baggage door displays a window which allows weight to be
  added. Baggage will be displayed if the weight is high enough
* ASI now shows the IAS instead of the CAS
* Adjusted stall horn volume to sound to about 5-10 knots above stall speed
* Carburetor heat toggle now drops RPM as expected
* Oil consumption and management have been implemented
* Refactored fog/frost system: air flow now depends on airspeed and
  engine RPM. Supports overhead air vents, windows, and doors. Humans
  add extra heat and humidity.
* Preflight inspection improvements:
    - Added "Preflight Inspection" checklists and tutorial
    - Pitot tube can be clicked to add/remove a red "remove before flight" label
    - Nose wheel can be clicked to add/remove chocks
    - You can tie down the wings and tail to the ground. It will hold
      the aircraft even with full engine power.
    - Each fuel tank can randomly get contaminated with water. Samples
      from the fuel can be taken to test for contamination.
* Added GPS 196 device
* Fixed glass reflection in external views
* Improved lighting, including better looking navigation lights (and
  depending on viewing angle) in ALS
* Improved textures of instruments, primer, cabin air/heat levers in cockpit, and flap lever
