* Adds the E-2C Hawkeye to the game.
It wasn't being imported from pydcs, and thus wasn't in the list of AWACS aircraft or prices.
Also adds it to the 1985 US Navy list, as that makes sense to do.
Updates .gitignore to ignore my VS Code settings file.
Addresses Khopa/dcs_liberation#709
- load plugins when loading a game
- moved plugins scripts to resources/plugins (for pyinstaller)
- removed vanilla JTAC and JTAC_smoke options and settings GUI
- call JtacAutolasePlugin in armor.py
- made a dictionary of INSTALLED_PLUGINS
- removed NIOD from the VEAF plugin
- the base LUA functionality has been implemented as a mandatory plugin
- the jtacautolase functionality has been implemented as a plugin
- added a VEAF framework plugin
The plugins have GUI elements in the Settings window.
This includes most of the briefing information in the kneeboard:
* Airfield info
* Waypoint info
* Comm info
* AWACS
* Tankers
* JTAC
There's more that could be done:
* Restrict tankers to the type compatible with the current aircraft
* Support for carriers
* Merge all relevant comm info (tankers, AWACS, JTAC, other flights)
into the comm ladder
This gives us a good start and a framework to build on. Very likely
that we'll want to split part of this (probably the comm ladder) off
onto a separate page once we start adding more to this, since it's a
pretty full page currently.
Also missing is any checking that the contents do not go beyond the
bounds of the page. We could add this if needed. For now the page has
enough room for about a dozen waypoints, which is quite a bit more
than most missions need.
