**Release 202412.01**
Pulled some code from @atcz, @marcos2221, and @Queton1-1.
Added some features developped internally by the Virtual European Air Force (VEAF) team.
Changelog:
- VEAF: multipart AA Systems / AA crates stacking features
- VEAF: hardened legacy code to make it more resilient (less errors)
- Queton1-1: Allow units to CTLD by aircraft type and not by pilot name
- atcz: Use crate headings to spawn units
- marcos2221: multiple crate capability for mi8 and ch-47
- atcz: added pagination to the radio menus
- atcz: smartly used decimals to facilitate having a lot of units to load in our crates
- atcz: added lots of vehicles to transport
- VEAF: use DCS events to register pilots with CTLD
- VEAF: it's now possible to allow both sling, conventional (DCS, CH-47 only for now) and simulated sling (CTLD) loading at the same time, letting players choose
- VEAF: units capable of conventional loading (CH-47) now have the crates spawned at their 6-o'clock
- moved smoke marker randomly away from the JTAC target
- atcz: updated the soldier type for troops transport
- updated the cargo + troops load report (details the weight)
- Overhauled crate number/weight system to make it easier to add new units
- Added short range SAM for red and blue
- Added NASAMS and BUK SAM mid range
- Added S-300 SAM long range
- Fixed Hawk component count for rearming
- Use true heading for unpackAASystem
- Only create sub-menus if there are more than 10 items.
Allows players to create systems using as many crates as they like
Example : an amount X of patriot launcher crates allows for Y launchers to be deployed, if a player brings 2*X+Z crates (Z being lower then X), then deploys the patriot site, 2*Y launchers will be in the group and Z launcher crate will be left over
- Set the crate heading to the helo heading when dropped or unloaded
- Use the crate heading when spawning units
- Set the crate heading to 0 if not specified
- Default heading for spawnCrateGroup was 120, but this is radians which is 35.49 degrees. Changed this to 120 degrees.
