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.

Cleanup and reword refuel waypoints
- rename Stopover back to CargoStop
- precise some waypoint naming
Cleanup and refine airlift and airassault waypoints
- Drop Off and Pickup now correctly worded
- Helo waypoints now represent LandingZones for pickup and dropoff
Forbid planes from air assault.
Make air assault drop-off non-optional.
There is always a drop-off location for troops.
Add docs explaining what the assault area is.
Add error handling for cargo drop waypoints.
Document some airlift waypoint behavior.
Remove unnecessary refuel waypoint in airlifts.
Remove CTLD logic from Airlift flightplan for AI
Add Ingress Point to AirAssault FlightPlan
Add simulation halt at AirAssault ingress
Remove AirAssault completly from AutoPlanner
Remove unneeded LandRefuel from Airlift
Clarify cargo waypoints for AirLift and AirAssault
- Add the new airassault mission type and special flightplans for it
- Add the mission type to airbase and FOB
- Add Layout for the UH-1H
- Add mission type to capable squadrons
- Allow the auto planner to task air assault missions when preconditions are met
- Improve Airlift mission type and improve the flightplan (Stopover and Helo landing)
- Allow Slingload and spawnable crates for airlift
- Rework airsupport to a general missiondata class
- Added Carrier Information to mission data
- Allow to define CTLD specific capabilities in the unit yaml
- Allow inflight preload and fixed wing support for air assault
This allows unique identification across saves. The front-end needs to
be able to differentiate the first carrier in game A and the first
carrier in game B, but because carriers (and other non-airfield CPs) are
assigned IDs sequentially, collisions were to be expected. The front-end
can't tell the difference between a reloaded game and a new turn, so we
need to ensure different IDs across games.
This is a handy cleanup anyway, since callers constructing CPs no longer
need to manually track the CP ID counter.

These should be uncontrolled rather than late activation so that they
are present in the parking area as OCA targets. This bug was introduced
as a mistranslation when I was moving from strings to StartType.
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/1695
This is the first step in a larger project to add play/pause buttons to
the Liberation UI so the mission can be generated at any point.
docs/design/turnless.md describes the plan.
This adds an option to fast forward the turn to first contact before
generating the mission. None of that is reflected in the UI (for now),
but the miz will be generated with many flights in the air.
For now "first contact" means as soon as any flight reaches its IP. I'll
follow up to add threat checking so that air-to-air combat also triggers
this, as will entering a SAM's threat zone.
This also includes an option to halt fast-forward whenever a player
flight reaches a certain mission-prep phase. This can be used to avoid
fast forwarding past the player's startup time, taxi time, or takeoff
time. By default this option is disabled so player aircraft may start in
the air (possibly even at their IP if they're the first mission to reach
IP).
Fuel states do not currently account for distance traveled during fast
forward. That will come later.
