- The SA-8 LD unit hat the SA-13 unit name as variant. The Layout tried to create a SA-13 SHORAD Site but actually used an SA-8 LD unit instead with zero threat range. This resulted in a yellow marked GroundObject on the map
- Cleaned up the treat and radar range functions a bit
This is briefly moving us over to my fork of pydcs while we wait for
https://github.com/pydcs/dcs/pull/206 to be merged. The adaptation is
invasive enough that I don't want it lingering for long.
- completly refactored the way TGO handles groups and replaced the usage of the pydcs ground groups (vehicle, ship, static) with an own Group and Unit class.
- this allows us to only take care of dcs group generation during miz generation, where it should have always been.
- We can now have any type of unit (even statics) in the same logic ground group we handle in liberation. this is independent from the dcs group handling. the dcs group will only be genarted when takeoff is pressed.
- Refactored the unitmap and the scenery object handling to adopt to changes that now TGOs can hold all Units we want.
- Cleaned up many many many lines of uneeded hacks to build stuff around dcs groups.
- Removed IDs for TGOs as the names we generate are unique and for liberation to work we need no ids. Unique IDs for dcs will be generated for the units and groups only.
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.
Rather than polling at 60Hz (which may be faster than the tick rate,
wasting cycles; and also makes synchronization annoying), collect events
during the tick and emit them after (rate limited, pooling events until
it is time for another event to send).
This can be improved by paying attention to the aircraft update list,
which would allow us to avoid updating aircraft that don't have a status
change. To do that we need to be able to quickly lookup a FlightJs
matching a Flight through, and Flight isn't hashable.
We should also be removing dead events and de-duplicating. Currently
each flight has an update for every tick, but only the latest one
matters. Combat update events also don't matter if the same combat is
new in the update.

This appears to be incompatible with pyinstaller. I get the following
when trying to run the executable generated with pyside6:

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.
We want the scud to not be culled, but we should still cull things
nearby. Rather than making the scud the center of a 2.5km unculled zone,
just exclude missile objectives from culling.
