Development Update: Rendering DSKY digits

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Recently I have started to play around with how the digits on the DSKY are rendered.

The AGC and the LGC is one of the central pieces of hardware you need to work with when playing any Apollo mission. In the (short) video above I will show that this first iteration of this change looks like and what it means.

The changes can be found on the alpha-floor branch with the following changelog:
- DSKY digits 2.0 has been added to the AGC and LGC.
- Apollo Moon Map legend and minor coloring changes.
- CSM VR Mission pad visible when not in VR has been corrected.
- TrackIR sensitivity bug in the CSM and LM corrected.
- Long Press on the EMS increase and decrease, and for the Attitude Set Control panel added. Hold mouse button to adjust instead of spamming the mouse buttons.
- AGC Light Test changes.
- AGC warning light bulb color corrections.
- Apollo VR: Use motion controllers as joysticks for attitude and translation control.
- CSM: Possible to use the NUMBERS selector to change brightness of the DSKY rendering.


The update is based on the following video from CuriousMarc with some changes and refresh rates after a good discussion on it with thewonderidiot on Discord. I recommend you to watch this video if you think this is interesting:
