Attempted to help mitigate performance issues with AI contrails by drastically reducing the particle count

Added FSReborn Phenom 300E (!!)

New (and improved) DRM system (!!)

Contrails now no longer require a supported plane, they now attach to any user aircraft (!!!)

Tweaks

Improved engine condensation [ 2024 ]

Changed wing fade spawn threshold [ 2024 ] (Might need more tweaking though. Next update I'll add a threshold slider since people have different preferences.)

Improved contrails [ 2024 ] (!)

Fixed strange engine condensation placement on the Inibuilds A340

Ingame Panel now WARNS YOU if the WASM module crashes, this will help with debugging (!)

Additions

Added IniBuilds A320 NEO V2

Added IniBuilds A321 LR

Added engine strake (chine) vortices

Added Zoned intensity for wing condensation [ 2024 ]

Tweaks

Tweaked wing fade spawn requirements

Contrails now no longer follow sim flag, instead relying on temperature (36-41 ℃ range, e.g 37℃ = low intensity and 41℃ = max intensity)

AI contrails now aren't blocky at the start (culling)

Reverted Fenix AOA requirements

New material for contrails [ 2024 ]

Cloud fade particles now don't just auto-correct after leaving a cloud, instead they remain for a very short while after leaving the cloud at a lower opacity (smoother animation) [ 2024 ]

Contrails now retain their temperature values, meaning that they will stay visible at the correct opacity even after dropping under 36℃ [mentioned in bugfixes]
