0.8.4 Update - Cargo Ops and Story Expansion

This next update adds new visuals, cargo operations, and expands the current systems! At this point, I consider the underlying mechanics feature complete and only need to complete the story/squash the remaining bugs. 

Many thanks to Mykaela Nguyen Daley and Elegant Crow (Linked below) for their excellent work on helicopter models, buildings, and other vehicles. 

FEATURE AND GENERAL UPDATES: 

1. Cargo Operations - Use your gantry system to pick up cargo boxes and deliver your payloads across the islands. Your aircraft will be loaded down and harder to control, so plan your route carefully and prepare well. 
2. Tutorial Level Redo - Take your helicopter through some tests out on the open ocean and be introduced to the basic gameplay loop, as well as play around with cargo boxes with no limitations. 
3. Art Pass - New helicopter models/textures, new buildings, new ships, and various visual upgrades to the menus. 
4. Story Expansion - The main story beat has been finished, but there will be ten "epilogue" missions that will tell a smaller story focused on the remaining characters. 
5. Redid the weather effects on the helicopters, each one is affected according to their weight and power. 
6. Pilot manual expanded with pictures and increased readability 
7. Credit screen updated with new assets 

BUG FIXES: 

1. Fixed inconsistancies with different flight models not being affected by gantry and hook states 
2. Fixed Robinson scale 
3. Increased hook size to aid in pickups 
4. Cruise ship should look more natural as it travels around the map 
5. Pop up warnings now appear with the minimal HUD 
6. Fixed citizen positions on pickup missions to avoid collisions with pad that prevent them from loading 
7. Compression on imported pictures was tweaked to increase quality
8. Characters should now have their correct portrait when picked up
