Air-start AI fixed wing (non-VTOL) aircraft if the campaign is being flown in the South Atlantic terrain and the airfield is one of the Harrier-only ones in East Falklands. This will help avoid AI aircraft from smashing into the end of the runway and exploding.
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
The first ground object of a naval control-point isn't always the CV or LHA, but can also be a different TGO if 1 or more TGOs are linked to the naval control point.
The "no skynet usable units" exception would get triggered when an IADS-node would form its connections. If one of those connections contained an IADS unit that was dead, the exception would get triggered since we weren't skipping "dead connections".
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
