Auto Credit Based on Vikram123's [CLOSED] Light CAS Challenge

Light CAS aircraft inspired by Czech L-159 Alca and L-39 Albatros.
It is supposed to be fictional successor of those planes. L-79 Tuhýk ("Shrike" in english) is slightly smaller than L-159 with similar weaponary and more modern looking cockpit.

In cockpit, you can manually select pylons you want to use, or drop everything you have on them.

Controls:
A1 - deploy weapons from selected pylons
A2 - drop everything from pylons
A5 - eject
A7 - position lights
A8 - open canopy
VTOL - flaps
Trim - trim

Used mod: Variterra Archipelago

Things I used from other people:
Tatra 815-7 - screenshot
HUD 1P free to use (by dhtv587) - HUD I used in the cockpit
Pigpen - cockpit displays

My friend found an issue I didn't notice while testing. For some reason elevators didn't conect to rotators and instead reconected to fuselage blocks. This means that visually they don't move.
You can find fixed version here
