* 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.
There doesn't appear to be any reason for us to be poking at
implementation details here aside from changing the name from "unit" to
"building" for that case. Just iterate over the known strike targets.
Making this change uncovered some latent type errors.
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/2564.
Troops must be dropped inside this zone or they won't attack the target.
The zone needs to be drawn in the map so players don't break the flight
plan by accidentally moving the drop waypoint outside the DZ.
I've move the API for doing this out of `PatrollingFlightPlan` in favor
of a mixin so this is no longer presented as `engagement_distance` by
the flight plan. I don't love that it's still the `commit-boundary`
endpoint, but it's fine for now.
I don't know why mypy wasn't able to catch this. pycharm is also
struggling to understand this class.
The timing for these doesn't work. Sweep RTBs at the same time the
package reaches its TOT. The tanker won't be on station until 1m30s
before the package reaches the refueling point.
