Bugfixes:
- Rain effect compute shader would misbehave when camera was far away from aircraft.
- Legacy rain effect would misbehave when sim was paused.
- Fixed crash when using multiple monitors on Windows.

- Handle the case when minimums are set to 10,000 ft and the number goes outside the PFD box.
- Missing tire_skid_speed_mtr_sec broke XP11.26 compatibility.
- Fixed dark outline around windshield due to bad stencil masking in normal vector computation.
- Copyright on MFD should show build year.
- Build OpenGPWS with Garmin audio, not Honeywell.
- Don’t allow overflowing the approach minimums value.
- Disable all GL arrays before starting effects rendering to avoid crashes when arrays are left enabled by external code.
- Refined gear brake failure messages.
- Added check for O2 refill to only allow it to be done when the tank isn’t full.
- Fuselage & gear leg repair buttons shouldn’t be available when the parts are ok.
- Fuel caps shouldn’t be auto-closed when the user reopens the payload manager after leaving them open.
- Added crash sound when the aircraft falls on the tail or nose.
- Moved headset audio source position to right seat cushion to match visual model.
