- Move cursor state to a world direction so the offset updates as the craft turns, not on mouse input alone
- Move cursor aim tunables from separate TOML files into Config, under cursor_aim sections
- Pilot banks by a level-wings cursor angle and pulls a level-turn rate, capped by live lift and measured control rate
- Measure each cursor-flown node's steady pitch rate from control torque over pitch damping
- Accumulate maximum stall-limited lift per tick for the pilot's turn-rate and bank limits
- Bump mod version to 0.4.2
Shift-right-click a block in improved_aerodynamics:flappable to make it a flap.
G/H step the node's flap lever UP/TAKEOFF/LANDING; flaps slew to the configured
angle, add lift and drag and raise the stall angle, and retract above a max speed.

Pitch input becomes a rate command; the computer measures the pitching torque
without its own surfaces (airframe stability, thrust line, weight offset) and
cancels it with dynamic inversion, so relaxed-stability craft stay controllable.
Replaces trimAuthority with flightComputer* config values.

Virtual stick cursor steered through the gun reticle, server-side virtual pilot
using measured control responses, client cursor/camera handling with look-ahead,
free look and scroll zoom.

Follows the ship matched to the selected radar contact (true position and
velocity) and extrapolates the last contact when no ship is loaded, so
notching or the radar speed gate no longer removes the pipper.

Draws where the shells of the first light autocannon come down and, for the
selected radar target, a lead pipper. Uses the same ballistics as Warium's
LACFireScript (muzzle speed, barrels, drag 0.99, gravity 0.05).

- Add vectored afterburner nozzle block with AzureLib model, deflection, throttle and afterburner state
- Drive nozzles from the vehicle control node and map pitch, roll and yaw to differential deflection
- Add afterburner toggle key and packet, linked to the control node
- Replace Warium exhaust effect entities with improved flames, particles and sounds when exhaustStyle is improved
- Add /aero seedgen to measure the air ceiling for the air placeholder
- Upgrade Warium VS to 1.1.7 and make the lift use horizontal speed
- Derive lift slope and induced drag from each wing's aspect ratio, found by grouping connected wing blocks across short span gaps.
- Give stabilizers and vertical wings their own parasitic drag from the stabilizerDrag config.
- Replace designSpeed with a fixed lift constant and a liftScale multiplier.
- Make auto trim hold the altitude the craft has when the pilot releases pitch, using nested altitude, climb and attitude loops.
- Add /improvedaerodynamics (alias /aero) to list, read and set the main config values in game.
- Route Warium and Futurism force queues through smoothed per-substep delivery
- Evaluate wing, stabilizer, control surface and air brake forces every physics substep
- Add optional improved flight model with angle-of-attack lift and stalls
- Add auto trim toggled by a client key and a server packet
- Add config options, translations, and mixin plugin version gating
- Bump mod version to 0.2.0 and bundle Futurism 0.0.4 as a compile-only dependency
