0.14.5V------------------------------------
Features:
Skin friction drag now varies with Reynolds number; this means much higher skin friction drags at higher altitudes
Added simple attempt at handling hydrodynamic effects; not detailed, but objects in oceans move much less
Added color changing options for colorblind users
Tweak flap and spoiler deflection functions
Give spoilers faster deflection coefficients
Update to ModuleManager 2.5.4

Bugfixes:
Removed spontaneous aero-spline warp drive in some Linux64 versions

Ferram Aerospace Research v0.14.4.1

0.14.4.1v------------------------------------
Features:
Added changes to blunt body drag to make command pods more stable on reentry
Attempt to account for most inaccurate effects of part clipping

NOTE: This release is intended to support Realism Overhaul until it is 0.90 compatible; this release is NOT 0.90 compatible

Features:
Upgrade to ModuleManager v2.5.4
0.90 compatibility

Features:
Default ActionGroups now controlled throuhg dropdown menus rather than string entry
Stability Deriv tab now takes entry in terms of planet, altitude and Mach Number, not density, temperature and Mach number
Stability Deriv tab now accounts for reduced gravity due to high speeds

Contributed by HoneyFox:
Pitch damper now has an additional gain for greater tuning
Control surfaces can now be set to deflect in response to local AoA changes
Control surfaces are not On/Off for a given control direction; can be scaled from -100% to 100% for each

Contributed by Bitronic:
Full Tweakscale Support

BugFixes:
Fixed no shielding with some payload fairings (particularly resized procedural fairings)
Fixed aero tinting blocking tinting from other mods

Airspeed settings change readouts in cockpits

Bugfixes:
Fixed serious issues with the wing interaction code
Fixed an issue where wind velocity was applied in the opposite direction that was expected
