Merge pull request #1183 from dcs-liberation/helipads

[WIP] Add possibility to add helipads to FOB control points

changelog.md

@@ -7,7 +7,8 @@ Saves from 4.x are not compatible with 5.0.
 * **[Campaign]** Weather! Theaters now experience weather that is more realistic for the region and its current season. For example, Persian Gulf will have very hot, sunny summers and Marianas will experience lots of rain during fall. These changes affect pressure, temperature, clouds and precipitation. Additionally, temperature will drop during the night, by an amount that is somewhat realistic for the region.
 * **[Campaign]** Weapon data such as fallbacks and introduction years is now moddable. Due to the new architecture to support this, the old data was not automatically migrated.
 * **[Campaign]** Era-restricted loadouts will now skip LGBs when no TGP is available in the loadout. This only applies to default loadouts; buddy-lasing can be coordinated with custom loadouts.
-* **[Campaign]** Squadrons now have a home base and will not operate out of other bases. See https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/discussions/1550 for details.
+* **[Campaign]** FOBs control point can have FARP/helipad slot and host helicopters. To enable this feature on a FOB, add "Invisible FARP" statics objects near the FOB location in the campaign definition file.
+* **[Campaign]** Squadrons now have a home base and will not operate out of other bases. See https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/1145 for status.
 * **[Campaign]** Aircraft now belong to squadrons rather than bases to support squadron location transfers.
 * **[Campaign]** Skipped turns are no longer counted as defeats on front lines.
 * **[Campaign AI]** Overhauled campaign AI target prioritization. This currently only affects the ordering of DEAD missions.
