VTOL and STOL capablities

This addon has LIMITED VTOL capabilities. (This is because of the limitations of OFPs engine). Experiment with this.
STOL is selected after engine started. In effect this capability gives a psuedo turbo-boost to take off, and uses a reversal of this for Short Landing

HISTORY
**************************************************************************************
THis project began in May 2002. The first addon (Version 1) was pretty rudimentary and was created in Truspace then converted to 3ds format then imported into Oxygen.
After Resistance was released and animation was possible the model was scrapped and out of the ashes the newer version emerged. Then Spitfire created a vtol script, which I thought would be jumped at by the community, but alas it seemed no one was interested except me. Thus the experimenting began, and is still ongoing.
So 12 months later (nearly) and the addon is still very much experimental.. Version 2.
