This gets us out of the business of maintaining our own icons. The
milsymbol library generates the SVG data needed to display anything
covered by APP-6.
There are some TODOs here but th behavior is flagged off by default. The
biggest TODO here is that the time spent frozen is not simulated, so
flights that are engaged by SAMs will unfreeze, move slightly, then re-
freeze.

Apparently it's a bad idea to try to make the core data pydantic models,
and those should really be treated more as a view-model. Doing otherwise
causes odd patterns (like the UI info I had leaked into the core type),
and makes it harder to interop with third-party types.
We don't have any sensitive data, but we do access the file system. On
the off chance that some phishing website decides to try to use
Liberation as an attack vector, prevent access to the API by
unauthorized applications. An API key is generated at each program start
and passed to the front end via the QWebChannel.
A possible explanation for the infrequent CTDs we've been seeing since
adding fast forward is that QWebChannel doesn't keep a reference to the
python objects that it passes to js, so if the object is GC'd before the
front end is done with it, it crashes.
We don't really like QWebChannel anyway, so this begins replacing that
with FastAPI.
Resolves#1964 but adding CTLD will require the use of Liberation plugins and thus are not included in this pull request.
- Implemented support for the UH-60L mod by =X51= Kinkkujuustovoileipa, Cubeboy, Jonas, JinxxDCS, Dorian, =X51= Parzival & =X51= Lawson.
- Because the standard DCS tankers will not fly below 160ish knots, the UH-60L mod team have included a modified version of the KC-130 tanker designed for refueling at speeds of 120-130kts.
Users can now add and remove squadrons with specific buttons. this also allows new aircraft types to be added as well.
- rebased existing PR to develop
- reverted observable and changed to signals
- changed the general concept so that changes only affect the ui data model and not the game directly. Game will only be updated on apply
- removed unused code
- adopt to review comments
- allow user to choose a predefined squadron preset (also alow none value to use the random generator)
- Reuse the squadron defs from the default assigner in the AirWing class
- allow user to re-roll the squadron nickname (also added new ui icons for the button)
It's rare with the current 5NM buffer around the origin, but if we use
the hold distance as the buffer like we maybe should it's possible for
the preferred join locations to fall entirely within the home zone. In
that case, fall back to a location within the max-turn-zone that's
outside the home zone and is nearest the IP.
Test cases:
1. Target is not threatened.
The IP should be placed on a direct heading from the origin to the
target at the max ingress distance, or very near the origin airfield
if the airfield is closer to the target than the IP distance.
2. Unthreatened home zone, max IP between origin and target, safe
locations available for IP.
The IP should be placed in LAR at the closest point to home.
3. Unthreatened home zone, origin within LAR, safe locations available
for IP.
The IP should be placed near the origin airfield to prevent
backtracking more than needed.
4. Unthreatened home zone, origin entirely nearer the target than LAR,
safe locations available for IP.
The IP should be placed in LAR as close as possible to the origin.
5. Threatened home zone, safe locations available for IP.
The IP should be placed in LAR as close as possible to the origin.
6. No safe IP.
The IP should be placed in LAR at the point nearest the threat
boundary.
