S&D Fixed Wing

0.0.6

GERAN-2 AND FP-1
- They can be shot down. Where the bullet lands decides what breaks:
  - a hit in the nose sets the warhead off in the air;
  - a shot-out engine glides down;
  - a broken wing spirals in;
  - a broken tail tumbles;
  - a broken body falls apart.
- The warhead is safe from the moment it is loaded on a launcher until its climb-out ends. Bullets, blasts and shrapnel can't set it off near its own crew.
- Enemy AI now shoot at launched Geran-2 and FP-1 flights during the climb-out and the final dive.
- Shrapnel is cut back to vanilla artillery scale: deadly within about 15 m, wounding out to about 30 m (the FP-1 reaches a little further). It used to reach 80 m.
- Big fireball explosions that every player can see.
- The Geran-2 engine is louder and can be heard up to 6 km away. The engine sound now stays with the airframe in flight.
- New paint on the Geran-2 and FP-1: fresh-from-storage finish, with heat tint, soot and oil detail around the engines.
- Airframes now appear straight on the launcher cradle instead of dropping onto it, including on the Ural.
- The Hornet and Lancet can be shot down too (2 to 4 rifle rounds per part).

CONTROL STATION
- New mission planner laid out like a real drone ground station: a status bar, the airframe list with state and power, an attitude display and readouts, a route table with grid, leg and bearing, a range summary, checks before the launch, and messages.
- The station's own screen now shows the planner instead of a stretched texture, and its status lights glow.
- Repainted station: olive case, black faceplate, worn from use. (STAGED)

STABILITY
- Loaded launchers saved in a world stay tensioned when a busy server starts slowly.
- Deleting a Ural straight after it fires no longer deletes the Geran-2 in flight.
- Airframes waiting on a launcher are no longer removed by the server's clean-up.
- Bad input from modified clients is rejected, and planner and launcher actions are rate limited.
