I've just about finished an improved Nasal tutorial system with take-off,

to cause the engine to fail in a non-restartable way.

Hi All,
Two small updates for the c182 and c310 to put back in the flight surface
animations.
I've also corrected the VRP for the c310 which was set to 0,0,0. I've set
it to the AERORP, which looks about right (the wheels are now on the
runway) but is basically a guess.
