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.

- 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.
