- Fixes ferry flights causing errors when "Nothing" is not available
- Logs a warning when a frontline stance is suddenly no longer available and uses defense stance as fallback which used to be the default. An investigation is still required to determine the cause of this...
The stock Tornado is capable of the SEAD task in DCS, but not the CAS task, so use SEAD for Tornadoes when flying SEAD or DEAD missions. Also, feel free to add to the list if other airframes should use SEAD as well for cosmetic reasons (would show SEAD task in the mission editor and F10 map in-game).
We want other pieces of country information (in particular the short
names). This cleans up a lot of code anyway.
As an added bonus, this now catches squadrons that used invalid names
which would previously be passed through to pydcs and... then I don't
know what would happen.
Probably the final Fix#97
Unused aircraft (assigned upon takeoff) would get claimed but since it's not possible to delete those flights after aborting, these flights wouldn't get released anymore. This should fix that issue, including a migrator change to correct the number of claimed aircraft per squadron.
Resolves#67
The problem turned out to be split-triggers with no actions, which occurs when a STRIKE flight has no escorts in its package. Added a guard for this so the trigger isn't pushed to the mission in such a case.
This makes sure that aircraft spawning in the air due to a shortage of parking spots, will have the earliest TOT possible. Flights with later TOTs should be generated first so that they remain at the airfield as OCA target.
Resolves#57
"_generate_over_departure" is the method used to generate flights in the air when no more parking spots are available. Pydcs changes were required as it turned out aircraft were trying to spawn on helicopter parking spots, which forces them to start in the air by DCS itself.
Should prevent mid-air collisions in most cases, though I'm still worried about "off map" spawns that can possibly collide, though an easy fix would be to manually use time-spacing.
Alternatively we need to treat it as a special case, assigning different altitudes to avoid collisions during the first leg of the flight if that turns out to be the case...
