Removed always True "event successful"
Add `AirWarEvent` as the primary game `Event` applied to every miz
Cleanup of `FrontLineAttackEvent`
Change `Operation.is_awacs_enabled` to two bools for each side red/blue
Currently controlled by whether an AWACs is available for the faction
(and only ever true for Blue)
Generated units are added to this during mission generation so we can
map destroyed units back to the data that generated them. Currently only
implemented for aircraft as a proof of concept.
Previously we were trying to make every potential flight plan look
just like a strike mission's flight plan. This led to a lot of special
case behavior in several places that was causing us to misplan TOTs.
I've reorganized this such that there's now an explicit `FlightPlan`
class, and any specialized behavior is handled by the subclasses.
I've also taken the opportunity to alter the behavior of CAS and
front-line CAP missions. These no longer involve the usual formation
waypoints. Instead the CAP will aim to be on station at the time that
the CAS mission reaches its ingress point, and leave at its egress
time. Both flights fly directly to the point with a start time
configured for a rendezvous.
It might be worth adding hold points back to every flight plan just to
ensure that non-formation flights don't end up with a very low speed
enroute to the target if they perform ground ops quicker than
expected.
Weather and exact time of day information is helpful during mission
planning, so generate it at the start of the turn rather than at
takeoff time.
Another advantage aside from planning is that we can now use the wind
information to set carrier headings and takeoff runways appropriately.
Reasonable ground speed depends a lot on altitude, so plumb that
information through to the speed estimator.
Also adds calculations for ground speed based on desired mach. I don't
know if DCS is using the same formulas, but we should at least be
pretty close.
We estimate the longest possible time from mission start to TOT for
all flights in a package and use that to set the TOT (plus any delay
used to stagger flights). This both cuts down on loiter time for
shorter flights and ensures that long flights will make it to the
target in time.
This is also used to compute the start time for the AI, so the
explicit delay option is no longer needed.
Especially considering the button in this position used to be how
players added client slots, confirm that they in fact want to launch
an AI-only mission before launching, and guide them toward the new UI.
Mission planning has been completely redone. Missions are now planned
by right clicking the target area and choosing "New package".
A package can include multiple flights for the same objective. Right
now the automatic flight planner is only fragging single-flight
packages in the same manner that it used to, but that can be improved
now.
The air tasking order (ATO) is now the left bar of the main UI. This
shows every fragged package, and the flights in the selected package.
The info bar that was previously on the left is now a smaller bar at
the bottom of the screen. The old "Mission Planning" button is now
just the "Take Off" button.
The flight plan display no longer shows enemy flight plans. That could
be re-added if needed, probably with a difficulty/cheat option.
Aircraft inventories have been disassociated from the Planner class.
Aircraft inventories are now stored globally in the Game object.
Save games made prior to this update will not be compatible do to the
changes in how aircraft inventories and planned flights are stored.
