Added a new option in settings: Convert untasked OPFOR aircraft into client slots. This option will essentially convert the campaign into a sort of team vs. team engagement. There is still no way to plan the OPFOR missions, and there are no guarantees that there even will be any untasked aircraft available for players.
Split the Disable idle aircraft at airfields setting into Disable untasked BLUFOR aircraft at airfields and Disable untasked OPFOR aircraft at airfields.
- Plan number of aircraft more accurately
- Fine-tuning ingress waypoint tasks
- Add lineup waypoint for STRIKE flights, 10NM in front of ingress on the same heading as the target
Restores handling of TheaterGroundObject targets in antishipingress.py
This is needed when anti-ship missions are planned against other ship groups than NavalControlPoints (carrier groups or LHA strike groups).
* Roadbase and ground spawn support
Implemented support for roadbases and ground spawn slots at airfields and FOBs. The ground spawn slots can be inserted in campaigns by placing either an A-10A or an AJS37 at a runway or ramp. This will cause an invisible FARP, an ammo dump and a fuel dump to be placed (behind the slot in case of A-10A, to the side in case of AJS37) in the generated campaigns. The ground spawn slot can be used by human controlled aircraft in generated missions. Also allowed the use of the four-slot FARP and the single helipad in campaigns, in addition to the invisible FARP. The first waypoint of the placed aircraft will be the center of a Remove Statics trigger zone (which might or might not work in multiplayer due to a DCS limitation).
Also implemented three new options in settings:
- AI fixed-wing aircraft can use roadbases / bases with only ground spawns
- This setting will allow the AI to use the roadbases for flights and transfers. AI flights will air-start from these bases, since the AI in DCS is not currently able to take off from ground spawns.
- Spawn trucks at ground spawns in airbases instead of FARP statics
- Spawn trucks at ground spawns in roadbases instead of FARP statics
- These settings will replace the FARP statics with refueler and ammo trucks at roadbases. Enabling them might have a negative performance impact.
* Modified calculate_parking_slots() so it now takes into account also helicopter slots on FARPs and also ground start slots (but only if the aircraft is flyable or the "AI fixed-wing aircraft can use roadbases / bases with only ground spawns" option is enabled in settings).
* Improved the way parking slots are communicated on the basemenu window.
* Refactored helipad and ground spawn appends to static methods _add_helipad and _add_ground_spawn in mizcampaignloader.py
Added missing changelog entries.
Fixed tgogenerator.py imports.
Cleaned up ParkingType() construction.
* Added test_control_point_parking for testing that the correct number of parking slots are returned for control point in test_controlpoint.py
* Added test_parking_type_from_squadron to test the correct ParkingType object is returned for a squadron of Viggens in test_controlpoint.py
* Added test_parking_type_from_aircraft to test the correct ParkingType object is returned for Viggen aircraft type in test_controlpoint.py

- Fixes ferry flights causing errors when "Nothing" is not available
- Logs a warning when a frontline stance is suddenly no longer available and uses defense stance as fallback which used to be the default. An investigation is still required to determine the cause of this...
The stock Tornado is capable of the SEAD task in DCS, but not the CAS task, so use SEAD for Tornadoes when flying SEAD or DEAD missions. Also, feel free to add to the list if other airframes should use SEAD as well for cosmetic reasons (would show SEAD task in the mission editor and F10 map in-game).
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.
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.
