Version 2018.3
--------------

**Features**:

* Improved 3D models and textures of all levers, toggles, seats, magneto keys, EGT gauge and attitude indicator
* New recess casings to all panel instruments
* Improved labels of panel texture
* Added 3D models to cockpit:
- Alternate static source knob
- Glove pocket to panel (holds GPS device when not in use)
- Lighter hole
- Overhead panel light switches for red flood, gauge post, and white dome/courtesy lights
- Low Voltage LED
- Sunvisors
- PPT cables connected to the yokes
* New ammeter gauge matching the model used in the 172P
* Light maps for red flood, gauge post and white dome light
* ALS procedural lights (glare) for red flood, gauge post, white dome and wing courtesy light
* Light map illumination and procedural glare responds to available light and dims during daylight
* Re-positioned and improved 3D models and textures of all levers
* Added ambient occlusion map to all interior textures
* Added glass effect for gauges
* New sounds, including when clicking on the checklist, adding/removing control lock, mounting/dismounting GPS, opening/closing glove pocket, opening/closing the window latches, extending/retracting the water rudder cable

* Corrected the label of the OBS knob of the heading indicator
* Implemented a particle effect color and light manager for smoke and spray
* Adjusted P-factor effect
* Strobe lights are stronger now
