* Added a separate Doctrine page in settings with the following new options:
- Minimum number of aircraft for autoplanner to plan OCA packages against
- Airbase threat range (nmi)
- TARCAP threat buffer distance (nmi)
- AEW&C threat buffer distance (nmi)
- Theater tanker threat buffer distance (nmi)
Implemented handling for the OPFOR autoplanner aggressiveness in objectivefinder.py vulnerable_control_points().
* * Added three new options in Settings:
- Autoplanner plans refueling flights for Strike packages
- Autoplanner plans refueling flights for OCA packages
- Autoplanner plans refueling flights for DEAD packages
Fixed a bug in faction.py where F-16Ds were not correctly removed from the faction when the F-16I/F-16D mod was not selected.
* Renamed Maximum frontline length -> Maximum frontline width.
We want other pieces of country information (in particular the short
names). This cleans up a lot of code anyway.
As an added bonus, this now catches squadrons that used invalid names
which would previously be passed through to pydcs and... then I don't
know what would happen.
Preferred aircraft per task are now determined by a ranking of weights
stored in the aircraft yaml files. To aid in visualizing the priorities
across aircraft, Liberation can be run with the argument
dump-task-priorities to dump a yaml file in Saved
Games/DCS/Liberation/Debug/priorities.yaml, which will show each task
along with priority sorted aircraft and their weights.
The current weights in the data were exported from the existing lists,
where each position from the bottom of the list was worth 10 (to allow
some games for less shuffling later).

* Removed AI varients SWPack - SWWeapon fix
The mechanism for how this bug arises is that the *WaypointGenerator*
uses the *FlightWaypoint.waypoint_type* to decide whether to generate
the waypoint in the .miz file using a *DeadIngressBuilder* or a
*SeadIngressBuilder*. This *waypoint_type* is set by
*ato.flightplans.<sead|dead>.Builder*, which is set when *ato.flight* is
initialised in the *Flight._flight_plan_builder* member variable based
on *Flight.flight_type*. When *Flight.flight_type* is updated when the
flight is changed from SEAD->DEAD, *Flight._flight_plan_builder* is not
updated in the development build, resulting in it continuing to generate
SEAD waypoints.
This PR adds *set_flight_type()* which sets the *flight_type* property
and updates *Flight._flight_plan_builder* and uses this function when
converting flight types. Ideally, *flight_type* should be made private
and only accessed through getter/setter functions that encapsulate this
behavior, but that would mess up any existing liberation save files.
This PR was tested by:
1. Opening the save file from Issue 2779 in the development build
2. Clicking "Take Off" and confirming that the Weapon Release Type is
"Guided" at the Ingress Waypoint as described in the issue.
3. Opening the save file from Issue 2779 in this PR
4. Converting the SEAD2DEAD flight from DEAD back to SEAD, and then from
SEAD to DEAD
5. Clicking "Take Off" and confirming in the mission editor that the
SEAD2DEAD flight has Weapon Release Type set to "Auto" at the Ingress
Waypoint.
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/2779.
Probably the final Fix#97
Unused aircraft (assigned upon takeoff) would get claimed but since it's not possible to delete those flights after aborting, these flights wouldn't get released anymore. This should fix that issue, including a migrator change to correct the number of claimed aircraft per squadron.
* Don't generate runway data for heliports.
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/2710.
* Remove dead code.
* 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
* Fixed a bug with the EA-18G banner not being visible in Retribution. Also added the Super Hornet variants to factions bluefor_modern and Israel-USN_2005_Allied_Sword.
* Corrected the descriptions for tandem-seat Super Hornet variants.
* Updated Chiller Juice Studios F/A-18E/F/G Super Hornet mod support to version 2.1
* Anti-ship loadouts are now named properly.
* Update changelog.md
* Update QNewGameWizard.py

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).
Restored the default patrol duration handling in PackageRefuelingFlightPlan. Desired tanker on-station time will now only apply to TheaterRefuelingFlightPlan.
