Auto Credit Based on SigmaFrenchie's Rafale M

ALL CREDITS GO TO YpaYpafromCN, WHO MADE THIS PLANE. I ONLY ADDED SOME MODIFICATIONS

Changelog:

fixes:

-fixed rear landing gear having a stroke when stopped
-fixed the HUD not displaying various informations
-fixed front landing gear popping in front of the HUD when retracting
-reduced auto-roll (might still be present)

Additions/removals:

-Engines (AG8):

modified power and thrust to allow realistic top speeds (Mach 1.8 at 50,000ft, supercruise at Mach 1.4)
attempted to give a more realistic acceleration along with the top speed (still quite fast) CREDITS TO SILVERSTAR FOR HELPING ME ON THAT
removed VTOL nozzles in the jets to reduce lag
added airliner engines (with no power) to replicate the whistling of M-88 Engines.
added afterburners (>99% thrust)
inverted engine nozzles so they open up with throttle
added pushback (deactivate AG8+throttle up)

-flight performances

added assisted trim (use trim normally, and reset it once you're done; it should stabilize the aircraft. if needed, just repeat the operation)
added some fly-by-wire to the canards
changed flaps input (AG6)
removed roll from canards for more realism
changed canards elevation so they give the plane more manoeuvrability at low speeds while staying under ˜12gs
the plane now loses much more speed when taking sharp turns to replicate delta wing performances
reduced minimum take off speed from ˜150 knots to ˜110 knots
added autopilot (AG5)
added landing assist (extending the landing gear now gives the aircraft more stability)
various changes on landing gear/suspensions
drop tanks now change the airplane's drag even more; all 3 tanks now make up for 50% of the total fuel. (AG4 for Jettison)

-cockpit

the cockpit is now VR-capable
added sticks/levers etc
added a bunch of buttons
changed screens arrangement
added cockpit radar from Striderxxl
canopy is now closed by default

-appearance

added Marine Nationale roundels/text
little customization on the tail because yes
changed overall color scheme
added more navigation lights (AG8)

-weaponry (AG3)

changed the main gun stats in order for it to be accurate to the Nexter 30 cannon used on the Rafale (firerate of 2500 rpm, reduced spread, 1025m/s muzzle velocity, 125 burst counts...)
changed all armament to simple missiles in order to reduce lag
armament is now 4 MICA IRs, 2 Meteor BVRAAMs, 6 AASM 250kg (all with realistic ranges i think)
added Thalios advanced targeting pod (looks like it idk)
flares and chaff are now unlimited because fuck it

CONTROLS:

AG1: canopy
AG2: unassigned
AG3: arm weapons
AG4: drop tanks
AG5: Autopilot
AG6: flaps
AG7: landing hook
AG8: engines start/shut down+pushback; navigation lights
trim: trim
VTOL: unassigned
