0.8.3 - Mission System and Rescue Ops

This next update adds a mission system which includes pickups/dropoffs, search and rescue, rescue hoist ops, and cargo delivery. Meet a cast of unique characters and learn more about the islands. Maybe something sinister is lurking just beneath the surface?? Missions are not complete and only about 1/3 done. I will continue to add story content in the coming weeks. 

FEATURE UPDATES: 

1. Mission system - 10 out of 30 missions are added. Search for missing citizens and rescue them with a cargo hoist. Deploy your cable to citizens, deliver cargo to isolated locations, and take various colorful characters to where they need to go. 

2. Tutorial Level - Take your helicopter through some tests out on the open ocean and be introduced to the basic gameplay loop. 

3. Story - Added story context with the missions and weaved in the tutorial/menu systems to be consistent with that. 

GENERAL UPDATES: 

1. Menu are redone to be more informative and intuitive. Graphics settings are expanded and presets have been added. 

2. Minimal HUD added, with the option to switch between them in the hanger 

3. Added aircraft lights and tweaked sound levels. 

4. Physics ticks have been increased, leading to more reliable behaviors around terrain. 

BUG FIXES: 

1. Physics inconsistencies have been fixed (hopefully).

2. Damage is more predictable.

3. Re-instanced foliage to bring more consistent performance. 

4. Removed redundant/unnecessary transparency calls which were bogging down the simulation.
