As a result of using fast-forward, AI flights are already oriented towards SPLIT, which slows things down during mission start. The escorts tend to go all over the place because of this...
Drop custom kneeboards in SavedGames/DCS/Retribution/Kneeboards as you would normally do, i.e. using the necessary folders if kneeboards are aircraft-specific
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
- Pretense: Extra friendly zone connections - Add connections from each zone to this many closest friendly zones, which don't have an existing supply route defined in the campaign.
- Number of cargo planes per side
- Number of AI SEAD flights per control point / zone
- Number of AI CAS flights per control point / zone
- Number of AI BAI flights per control point / zone
- Number of AI Strike flights per control point / zone
- Number of AI BARCAP flights per control point / zone
- Number of AI aircraft per flight
- Number of player flights per aircraft type at each base
- Number of AI cargo planes per side
Implemented CAS helo mission handling for Pretense. Implemented separate pretense_air_groups container for storing/referencing Flight objects. Tweaked the supply costs of SAM sites and Command centers. Will no longer generate player air starts at roadbases either. Restored the missing DEAD flights to Pretense. Removed spawning of frontline units and moved the JTAC spawning to pretensemissiongenerator.py
* Change indentation of register_special_waypoints (put out of loop)
* Added Strike Targets as F-15E Mission Target points (Set/Mission 1)
* Set up check for ASM : only if non-human flight lead. Add targets to the kneeboard.
* Generate multiple sets (i-e M2.1) for situations where the number of points is more than 8.
Added check condition to kneeboard (otherwise, may result in multiple writes).
* Change name of register_special_waypoints to register_special_strike_points
Add register_special_ingress_points method for special IPs and add to the appropriate classes
* Add changelog entry for Tomcat's IP wpt
* Avoid depending on client slots for special wpts injection

* Unlimited fuel for AI flights. For player flights, included at startup, for AI flights with join/split, applied at join/split.
