Updated SBS GRYPHON Mk.I Rescue Helicopter. Renamed vehicle from "SBS GRYPHON Mk.I Rescue Helicopter WIP" to "SBS GRYPHON Mk.I Rescue Helicopter".

Moved out of WIP to formal release.

Updated SBS GRYPHON Mk.I Rescue Helicopter WIP.

Enhanced the control setup so that the PILOT and FLIGHT ENGINEER can both pilot the helicopter.

Integrated controls for the HOLD ALT and HOLD SPEED to the chairs so that you don't need to click buttons (option still available).

Add Flight Plan as an Autopilot option. Moved some panels around to accomodate. Tweaked PID settings in order to try and smooth out AP based flight when it transitions altitude.

AUTOPILOT:
There are now two AP modes selectable from a panel in front of the pilot:
SP - Single Point
FP - Flight Plan

SP will fly to the WP entered in to the Active Slot number, come to a stop and then turn off AP.

FP will fly automatically from WP to WP in sequence until it reaches a WP that has been defined as the Last Leg (set using a new button in the AP Entry Panel area). When the Helicopter reaches the WP defined on the Last Leg it will come to a stop and automatically turn off AP (like in SP). NOTE: For SP every WP is considered to be Last Leg.

As part of the FP system I added another optional setting condition: "Maintain Transit Speed". When the toggle button is on any WP submited will inherit the "Maintain Transit Speed" request condition. The optional setting will specify that the Helicopter will not slow down at the WP but continue to travel at Transit speed (50 m/s). However unless the next WP is absolutely inline the Helicopter may need to slow down if it has to make a course correction. It will not be a complete stop and the chopper will inherit speed from the last leg.

Note: In order to run a FP from end-to-end make sure to cycle the Active Slot Number back to the first slot in the Plan before you Engage the AP (which is now labelled as "FBW - AP - Start Autopilot Program"). FP runs from WP Slot to WP slot in increasing order based on the slot number. When you hit "Start Autopilot Program" it will start at the Active Slot that is currently specified.

Add Button to SearchLight panel that will reset the lights to full front (0 Degrees off Centreline)

Updated SBS GRYPHON Mk.I Rescue Helicopter WIP.

Tweaked the PID values for the Ducted Assist Engines during AP. Previously the engines were powering up too fast and overshooting the requested speed such that the helicopter entered a state where it lost left on the SB side. The Ducted Assists Engines now reach max value slower and have an overshoot of only 5-7 m/s which will not put the helicopter in to an "dive to SB".

Tweaked the setup of the landing gear so that they will use a lot less electrical power when not in transition (i.e. they are stowed or deployed).
