Forcegroups were not loaded correctly from preset groups during faction initialization. When a user created a new game and directly after that created another game with different factions the Forcegroups for the preset groups were still reused and therefore units which were not accessible by the faction were accidently available to the new faction.

This will allow to automatically calculate the orientation of TGOs which are required to head to the conflict if the campaign designer has not defined a specific heading in the campaign miz. This is for example required for silkworm, scuds or some SAM systems like the SA-11.
Added the should_head_to_conflict property to the TGO
Instead of giving an error when a mission type which was added to the squadron is not defined in the Ai autoplanner db for the aircraft the user should be able to task the aircraft accordingly.
- Moved logic from TGO to TheaterGroup and Unit, cleanup
- Fixed an issue with wrong radar threat zone calculation
- Correctly handle dead and alive units in threat calculation (dead units are no more threats...)
- Fixed wrong air_defenses threat zone used for planning (now uses aa-capable tgos instead of all tgos for the CP)
- Remove the might_have_aa property from TGOs and actually check if there is any aa-capable unit present (this is needed as with the recent tgo refactor all type of TGOs can also have anti air units if they have some defined in the layout)
Updated the UH-60L loadout for version 1.3.1 and added the UH-60 to the following factions as per #2176
Israel-USN 2005 (Allied Sword)
Israel 2000
Israel 2012'ish
* Fix suicide SEAD flights (diving to the SAM)
additional fix for #2152. This sets the Target Waypoint ALT to the Ingress ALT for non player flights. Player flights will have the target waypoint set to 0 AGL so that they can slave weapons or TGP to it.
* Add GroupAttack to SEAD so that they suppress more
Now the user can override special skynet properties from the unit.yaml of the main Radar of the sam site. Which unit needs these overrides can be looked up over here: https://github.com/walder/Skynet-IADS/blob/develop/skynet-iads-source/skynet-iads-supported-types.lua
- fixed wrong exclusion of groups with the first unit dead but still able to participate
- added some exception handling in the lua script for groups which skynet is not able to control. preventing scripting errors
- factor out own class for the iadsnetwork within the conflicttheater
- This class will handle all Skynet related things - no specific group_name handling necessary in future
- make iadsbuilding own TGO class because SAM & EWRs are Vehicle Groups. IADS Elements dont have any groups attached.
- added command center, connection node and power source as Ground objects which can be added by the campaign designer
- adjust lua generator to support new iads units
- parse the campaign yaml to get the iads network information
- use the range as fallback if no yaml information was found
- complete rewrite of the skynet lua script
- allow destruction of iads network to be persistent over all rounds
- modified the presetlocation handling: the wrapper PresetLocation for PointWithHeading now stores the original name from the campaign miz to have the ability to process campaign yaml configurations based on the ground unit
- Implementation of the UI representation for the IADS Network
- Give user the option to enable or disable advanced iads
- Extended the layout system: Implement Sub task handling to support PD
- cleaned up the generation
- created special class to handle the serialization
- improved string escaping: Replace OS Path separator with normal slash and allow the usage of a single quote in unit names by changing the delimiter to double quote instead (1797)
- adjusted unit_name generation to prevent scripting errors with unescaped characters
* Improve Ingress WP attack tasking and update pydcs
- Updated the Attack Tasking of SEAD, DEAD, Strike and BAI to match the pydcs changes
- Changed DEAD, BAI and SEAD AttackGroup task to expend=auto. This solves an issue where the AI uses all Ammo on one single target as we defined the expend param to All instead of Auto which is used by default.
* Set Expend=All for SEAD Ingress
This ensures that the AI will only do one Attack Pass and also really suppress the Target what they are expected to do.
- Filter the list of available aircraft by bases and only add aircrafts which can be operated
- Only enable the accept button when a base is selected
fixes#2127
- This adds the information about the modulation of the RadioFrequency.
- Updated all Radios with the capabale modulation
- Show Modulation on Kneeboard
- Defaulting to AM Modulation as this is also the default used by pydcs.
- Force AM Modulation for JTAC tasking
We currently do not force the modulation in the code anywhere other than JTAC. Pydcs defaults to AM (modulation=0). So this change is more a preparation for upcoming features which allow to use more frequencies like VHF FM or similar.
- now stops the thread when manually submitting results
- added check for mission_end state on debrief update to prevent creating another waiting thread when the mission is already over
- also fixed an issue when manually submitting but canceling the file open dialog.
closes#2165
Added AntiShipMissile unit class and updated the hy_launcher unit as well as the silkworm layout to differentiate clearly between missile (scud, v1) and antiship (silkworm)
fixes#2159
SEAD flights will have the Search and Engage Group Task instead of the current AttackGroup task when the flight has ARM weapons in the Loadout. This resolves an issue with AI not able to attack a SAM when skynet is used. This is due to the RADAR not emitting and the AI therefore just diving into the SAM.
Non-ARM Loadouts will still use the AttackGroup task. This ensures that for example the ADM-141 TALD used by the F-14s will work correctly
A user would be able to sell a complete damaged TGO for the price of a new one as the value calculation function was not taking care if the unit was dead or alive. This fix now only takes alive units into account for the actual value of the tgo
- Add additional naming method to naming.py
- JTACs now use the ALPHA_MILITARY. So first JTAC is called JTAC Alpha, 2nd JTAC is called JTAC Bravo and so on
