Helicopter Turbulence

As featured in Helisimmer: https://www.helisimmer.com/news/helicopter-turbulence-arma3

- Adds random atmospheric turbulence forces to all helicopters.
- Works with any modded helicopter, RHS, CUP etc compatible!
- Includes serverkey
- Scales based on weather (overcast and windspeed both generate more severe turbulence)
- Larger, heavier aircraft are less impacted due to their mass, however as they have a larger surface area the forces are also greater. This means each aircraft handles turbulence slightly different as the surface area/mass ratio is different.
- As an aircraft approaches its top speed, it becomes more stable.
- Client-side calculations, so the server will not slow down due to this in multiplayer.
- Only does calculations if the player is the pilot, so will not impact performance unless you are flying. Even then it should be minimal.
- Does not affect Rotorlib Advanced Flight Model.
- Doesn't affect AI pilots (they really need the help)
- CBA settings integration for various aspects of the mod.
- VTOL aircraft are treated as planes by the game, and require the Plane Turbulence mod.

The default flight model in ArmA is a ton of fun and has the right balance of realism and ease of use, it's almost perfect.
Almost.
Something I don't like is that the environment has no effect on the flight of your helicopter, that is if you're perfectly hovering you will hover forever. In reality, wind and random pertubations in the world will cause your helicopter to bob about a bit. This mod does that.

This mod adds slight turbulence to a helicopter based on both the mass and the surface area of the helicopter. Your helicopter will naturally bob, weave and change direction slightly due to the natural chaos of the atmosphere. If it's raining or is windy, this effect will become more severe.
In the worst weather, in the lightest helicopters, they actually can become difficult to fly. Littlebirds and Pawnees in a storm get tossed about like a leaf on the wind.



Known issues:
Does nothing for drones.
All drones still work normally, just without turbulence.
