* A Bluefor EWR 55GS in the campaign miz defines an optional EWR site. There is no distinction between how close or far it is to a base, so it's possible that there will be many EWRs within an airbase.
* A Redfor EWR 1L13 in the campaign miz defines a required EWR site.
It would be a good future idea to limit the amount of EWRs within a certain distance from an airbase. That way there's no chance of 5 EWRs all at the same airbase. Even better if there were something preventing any two EWRs from being right next to each other.
No campaigns take advantage of this yet.

`Game.date` is actually the start date, not the current date. Not renaming to
avoid breaking save compat.
This fix won't have any effect on existing saves until they pass the turn
because this is encoded into the conditions generated at the start of the turn,
but it will fix on the next turn.

The tradeoff is that any flights that might have previously routed
_around_ a threat near the edge of the map may no longer do so as the
zones at the edge are significantly larger now.

1995 is a good date to pick if you want to date restrict all GPS weapons but still have all the laser guided options.

Official Navy docs have the 88A's IOC date in 1983. Also left a note on the B and C IOC dates if DCS ever adds the older models.

Generate a Carrier Group which comes close the the real Carrier Strike Group 8.
Under carrier_names in the faction simply add "Carrier Strike Group 8" as the first and only entry and enable super carrier.
* TRU as TACAN name
* Harry S. Truman CV
* 4x Arleigh Burke
* 1x Ticonderoga
* CV in the middle, Ticonderoga in a radius of 2 miles, Arleigh Burkes forming a rectangle
Still a work in progress (the missions don't actually perform their task, just orbit). Currently:
* AEW&C aircraft can be bought.
* AEW&C missions can be planned at any control point and at front lines.
* AEW&C will return after 4H or Bingo.
This is because all building objects have " object" appended to the end in the unit map, but not in the state.json. Therefore, we should now find destroyed building objects in the unit map.
Should fix#793.
DCS features a massive range of aircraft and land vehicles, and not all of them make their role(s) clear just from the name alone. What this commit does is add an "information" button (and resultant window) to the recruitment section. This should allow new players to understand what each unit is/does.
Current state - every aircraft has a country of origin and an introduction date for that variant. Some also have a small placeholder description, taken from ED's store page for that aircraft. There is also a placeholder picture (taken from a rejected image from my own personal photography) that will, in time, show a banner image of each unit.
Todo - add appropriate screenshots for each aircraft's banner, replace the placeholder text for each aircraft (this will take a while...) and add more data points for each unit type, such as a unit role (i.e. "air-superiority fighter", "multirole fighter", etc) or perhaps a list of weapons carried. I also haven't made a start on the huge number of ground units yet.
Limit the commit range of a BARCAP to halfway to the closest enemy
airbase so that they don't become offensive missions.
This has the side effect of largely reducing long retreats to hold
points from front line airfields, since the package can get much closer
without being at risk of engagement by an enemy BARCAP.
