The manual for the legacy warthog usually calls these VHF 1/2 and UHF,
or VHF AM/FM and UHF. The AM/FM nomenclature is what I usually hear
people call them and it's clearer, so go with that.
For the A-10C II, that manual hasn't been updated for the AN/ARC-210
yet, so I'm not really sure what that ought to be called. The UFC calls
it COM 1 though, so I went with that. The alternative would be something
like VHF/UHF for the 210 and UHF for the 164, but I don't know if that's
actually better. Could be completely explicit and call them by their
full names, but that's probably less clear to people that aren't
fiddling with the radio implementation constantly (and even I confuse
the 164 and the 186 all the damn time).
The old DCS AI F-15E is sticking around because the two have very
different weapon sets for now, so it's probably better to use the AI-
only one for squadrons that don't expect players.
I've avoided renaming the old one (we probably should name it "... (AI)"
for clarity) because the rename will break save compat. I have added a
_new_ name that new campaigns can use though.

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

The latest DCS update both added support for preset radios (two both
A-10C modules!), and re-ordered the legacy A-10C's radios so we can use
the VHF radio for intra-flight.
After this patch, the legacy A-10C will use VHF for intra-flight, the
new module will use one AN/ARC-210 for intra-flight and the other for
inter-flight comms, and both modules will have preset channels assigned.
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).
Added support for F-16D Barak Block 30 and Block 40 variants. Still using F-16C Barak banners as placeholders until I snap some good ones from the two-seaters.
Resolves#78
Finished the F-104C mod support of version 2.7.11.222.01, which was included during a new export after the livery-scanner was introduced. Includes VSN_F104C banner by GLOBAL HAWK. Banner includes the official VSN logo by J.P. Ferré. Used with permission.
