Adjustments and settings

Today's work was primarily to put all possible adjustments to the HUD into an INI-file. This way the adjusments and calibrations don't have to be med everytime the program is started. Additionally I have once again made it possible to use the ref. omk. button, but with slightly modified functionality. And I've also added the possability to tilt the HUD display at takeoff and landing. Since a HUD of this type has a very limited field of view, and much of the interresting presentation at takeoff and landing is positioned lower than you would like in normal flight, it is possible to physcally tilt the reflector glass of the HUD. But to get a proper presentation this has to be accompanyed by a similar tilt in the computer generated image. When the glass is tilted, a microswitch is pressed and the HUD-program gets a signal to tilt the image to a preset position... As simple as that.
