* Rename pydcs_extensions/f4/__init__.py (from pydcs_extensions/f4b/__init__.py)
Rename pydcs_extensions/f4/f4b.py (from pydcs_extensions/f4b/f4b.py)
* Rename pydcs_extensions/f4/f4.py (from pydcs_extensions/f4/f4b.py)
* Support for the updated F-4B/C mod
Updated the F4.py pydcs extension to match the updated F-4B/C mod and
reworked the standard payloads to add "clean" to new F-4B pylons 11 and
12.
This includes a workaround to allow Liberation to use the new VSN F-4B
weapons with combined 2x Aim-9js on pylons 3 and 9 underslung with bombs
on ters on new pylons 11 and 12. In mission editor the combined weapons
are selected in pylons 3 and 9 and their under-slung counterparts are
forced onto 11 and 12 using "required" arguments in the mod's lua. All
other pylon 3 and 9 weapons use "required clean" arguments. Liberation
doesn't have a way to force these linkages onto pylons 11 and 12 and
without them, even without clean, no weapons will load on 3 and 9 or 11
and 12.
The workaround for normal weapons on the F-4B is to set the standard
load-outs to "clean" on pylons 11 and 12. This allows all normal weapons
to work on pylons 3 and 9 so long as pylons 11 and 12 are left as Clean.
It also allows Clean into the Liberation dropdown so it can be selected
later if necessary.
The workaround for the 4 new weapons that combines pylons 3 with 11 and
9 with 12 is that the user has to use the matching pair on each set of
pylons. For example - if F4B_LAU105_AIM9J_2_BRU42A_MK82_3 is selected
for pylon 3, BRU 42A MK823 LAU105 AIM9J2 must be selected for pylon 11.
Failure to do this correctly doesn't crash liberation or DCS, the result
will just be either no weapons at all on either pylon or the underslung
weapons on 11 and 12 floating without a pylon attaching it to the plane.
When updating f4.py in the future, note that running the pydcs database
export doesn't pull any data for Pylons 11 and 12. Those matching
weapons / classes have to be manually defined in those pylons for the
F-4B. This is noted in f4.py.
* F-4 mod support update to 2.8.7.201
* Updated QGeneratorSettings.py and the changelog.
* Updated F-4B and F-4C loadouts.
* Added the Phantom to some additional factions.
* Changelog updated: Updated support for F-4B/C Phantom mod to 2.8.7.204
The pydcs export for the latest patch was identical, which means it's also supported.
* Migrator change for renamed F-4B/C folder

* Added F/A-18E/F Super Hornet AI Tanker mod support (Chiller Juice Studios SuperBug Tanker AI version 1.1).
* Updated F/A-18E/F Super Hornet AI Tanker mod support (Chiller Juice Studios SuperBug Tanker AI) to version 1.2.
* F/A-18E/F Super Hornet AI Tanker (version 1.2) support merged to Retribution.
* Updated the pydcs extension to version 1.4.
We don't need explicit configuration of initial points. The plane
automatically configures any steerpoint immediately before a target
point as an initial point.
Target offset points and aim points have not been implemented because I
can't find any information the describes their intent.
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/3088.
* Update MiG-25RBT.lua
Corrected naming conventions and capitalization.
* 1971 Alt History USA vs USSR Factions
My alt history factions for USA and USSR fighting in the Vietnam war
* Update VSN_F100.yaml
Remove SEAD Escort as it would require changes on client side
The manual for the legacy warthog usually calls these VHF 1/2 and UHF,
or VHF AM/FM and UHF. The AM/FM nomenclature is what I usually hear
people call them and it's clearer, so go with that.
For the A-10C II, that manual hasn't been updated for the AN/ARC-210
yet, so I'm not really sure what that ought to be called. The UFC calls
it COM 1 though, so I went with that. The alternative would be something
like VHF/UHF for the 210 and UHF for the 164, but I don't know if that's
actually better. Could be completely explicit and call them by their
full names, but that's probably less clear to people that aren't
fiddling with the radio implementation constantly (and even I confuse
the 164 and the 186 all the damn time).
The old DCS AI F-15E is sticking around because the two have very
different weapon sets for now, so it's probably better to use the AI-
only one for squadrons that don't expect players.
I've avoided renaming the old one (we probably should name it "... (AI)"
for clarity) because the rename will break save compat. I have added a
_new_ name that new campaigns can use though.

* Implemented support for Chiller Juice Studios F/A-18E/F/G Super Hornet mod
The Chiller Juice Studios Super Hornet mod works like this: it changes the stock F/A-18C Hornet into F/A-18E/F/G Super Hornet / Growler. The exact variant is selected with argument 999 in the livery description.lua, which is why I chose to add the three variants in the FA-18C_hornet.yaml. This way, we can use the squadrons mechanism in Liberation to select the appropriate variant by specifying the correct livery for the squadron.
Current properties injected are wingspan / width and the custom ordnance added by the mod.
Added F/A-18E/F/G banner by Schmokedpancake and F/A-18F icon.
Resolves https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/2681
* Added a separate loadout file for the Chiller Juice Studios F/A-18E/F/G Super Hornet mod. Currently only replaces the FPU-8A fuel tanks with FPU-12s.
* Added the possibility to use the AI variant of the F/A-18C in campaigns, allowing different loadouts and in the future, the Super Hornet mod alongside legacy Hornets in the same campaign.
* Updated Chiller Juice Studios F/A-18E/F/G Super Hornet mod support to version 2.0. Removed the 1.x version property and pylon injection since they are no longer necessary, since 2.0 adds the Super Hornet variants as separate aircraft. For the same reason, removed the AI-only F/A-18C from the faction files (still retained the aircraft yaml, loadout files and icon/banner in case someone still wants to use it).
Includes F/A-18E/F/G banner by Schmokedpancake, loadouts by @sgtfuzzle17 and F/A-18E/F icons.
* Added Super Hornet, Growler squadrons and Growler banner by @sgtfuzzle17
The squadrons include the model of the airframe in their name, so they can be referenced directly from campaign yaml files without the risk of conflicting with the same squadron of a different era, flying a different airframe.
Also updated the E and G model icons.
Resolves#77

The latest DCS update both added support for preset radios (two both
A-10C modules!), and re-ordered the legacy A-10C's radios so we can use
the VHF radio for intra-flight.
After this patch, the legacy A-10C will use VHF for intra-flight, the
new module will use one AN/ARC-210 for intra-flight and the other for
inter-flight comms, and both modules will have preset channels assigned.
Updated the VSN F-4 mod support to v2.8.1.01 Standalone + 29Jan23 Patch, which adds the land based F-4C variant. Includes banner by Datoneslav (used with permission) and the official VSN logo (also used with permission).
