* fix airwing config not properly saving or loading
* add helper message to save function
* bugfixes
* remove unnecessary import used during testing
* yet another forgotten import
* change raise error to log warning
* Large aircraft ground spawns
Added the ability to add separate ground spawns for C-130 and other large aircraft to campaigns. Implemented on @holyorangejuice 's request.
Large aircraft ground spawns are added to the campaign by placing a C-130 on the ramp, just like an A-10 or AJS37 previously. Note: use the stock DCS C-130, so the campaign miz can be safely opened without the C-130 mod (or any other mod) installed. Not the C-130J player-flyable transport, not the KC-130J tanker included in the UH-60L mod etc.
Large planes (wingspan more than 40 meters, such as the C-130):
- First try spawning on large ground spawns
- Then try the regular airfield ramp spawns
Below 40 meter wingspan aircraft:
- First try spawning on regular or roadbase ground spawns
- Then try the regular airfield ramp spawns
- Then, if both of the above fail, use the large ground spawns
* Specify explicit black version 23.9.1 to fix lint error.
* Update lint.yml

Added new options in settings:
- Carriers steam into wind
- Navmesh to use for Pretense carrier zones
- Remove ground spawn statics, including invisible FARPs, at airbases.
- Percentage of randomly selected aircraft types (only for generated squadrons)
intended to allow the user to increase aircraft variety.
Will now store the ICLS channel and Link4 frequency in missiondata.py CarrierInfo.
Implemented artillery groups as Pretense garrisons. Artillery groups are spawned by the Artillery Bunker. Will now also ensure that the logistics units spawned as part of Pretense garrisons are actually capable of ammo resupply.
Fixed the Pretense generator generating a bit too many missions per squadron. Ground spawns: Also hot start aircraft which require ground crew support (ground air or chock removal) which might not be available at roadbases. Also, pretensetgogenerator.py will now correctly handle air defence units in ground_unit_of_class(). Added Roland groups in the Pretense generator.
Randomly chooses one of the liveries defined if present in the squadron's yaml, overrides entry for "livery" or whatever is chosen in the UI except liveries on flight-member level
* Roadbase and ground spawn support
Implemented support for roadbases and ground spawn slots at airfields and FOBs. The ground spawn slots can be inserted in campaigns by placing either an A-10A or an AJS37 at a runway or ramp. This will cause an invisible FARP, an ammo dump and a fuel dump to be placed (behind the slot in case of A-10A, to the side in case of AJS37) in the generated campaigns. The ground spawn slot can be used by human controlled aircraft in generated missions. Also allowed the use of the four-slot FARP and the single helipad in campaigns, in addition to the invisible FARP. The first waypoint of the placed aircraft will be the center of a Remove Statics trigger zone (which might or might not work in multiplayer due to a DCS limitation).
Also implemented three new options in settings:
- AI fixed-wing aircraft can use roadbases / bases with only ground spawns
- This setting will allow the AI to use the roadbases for flights and transfers. AI flights will air-start from these bases, since the AI in DCS is not currently able to take off from ground spawns.
- Spawn trucks at ground spawns in airbases instead of FARP statics
- Spawn trucks at ground spawns in roadbases instead of FARP statics
- These settings will replace the FARP statics with refueler and ammo trucks at roadbases. Enabling them might have a negative performance impact.
* Modified calculate_parking_slots() so it now takes into account also helicopter slots on FARPs and also ground start slots (but only if the aircraft is flyable or the "AI fixed-wing aircraft can use roadbases / bases with only ground spawns" option is enabled in settings).
* Improved the way parking slots are communicated on the basemenu window.
* Refactored helipad and ground spawn appends to static methods _add_helipad and _add_ground_spawn in mizcampaignloader.py
Added missing changelog entries.
Fixed tgogenerator.py imports.
Cleaned up ParkingType() construction.
* Added test_control_point_parking for testing that the correct number of parking slots are returned for control point in test_controlpoint.py
* Added test_parking_type_from_squadron to test the correct ParkingType object is returned for a squadron of Viggens in test_controlpoint.py
* Added test_parking_type_from_aircraft to test the correct ParkingType object is returned for Viggen aircraft type in test_controlpoint.py

We're still using mostly the same aircraft selection as we have before
we added squadrons: the closest aircraft is the best choice.
This adds an option to obey the primary task set by the campaign
designer (can be overridden by players), even if the squadron is farther
away than one that is capable of it as a secondary task.
I don't expect this option to live very long. I'm making it optional for
now to give people a chance to test it, but it'll either replace the old
selection strategy or will be removed.
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/1892.
Preferred aircraft per task are now determined by a ranking of weights
stored in the aircraft yaml files. To aid in visualizing the priorities
across aircraft, Liberation can be run with the argument
dump-task-priorities to dump a yaml file in Saved
Games/DCS/Liberation/Debug/priorities.yaml, which will show each task
along with priority sorted aircraft and their weights.
The current weights in the data were exported from the existing lists,
where each position from the bottom of the list was worth 10 (to allow
some games for less shuffling later).
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/2809.
We've actually been pretty good at getting this right in most of the
code base, but we've missed it in a few places. Python defaults to the
encoding of the current locale unless otherwise specified, and for a US
English Windows install that's cp1252, not UTF-8. I'm not brave enough
to change the locale at startup because I don't know how that might
affect CJK encoding users (or for that matter, non-Latin derived
alphabet UTF-8 variants).
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/2786.
Avoids choosing random squadrons during air wing configuration so that livery overrides takes precedence by default for a given aircraft type, unless the campaign file specifies a specific squadron. Users can still add a squadron manually which will automatically set the correct livery if they use a squadron preset.
Resolves#52
If the user's DCS directory is not configured correctly this will
degrade by not showing an icon. Otherwise (and typically) we get nicer
looking icons for each theater, and we don't have to make these for each
new map.
