* Don't generate runway data for heliports. 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 --------- Co-authored-by: Dan Albert <dan@gingerhq.net> Co-authored-by: Raffson <Raffson@users.noreply.github.com>

About DCS Retribution
DCS Retribution was forked from DCS Liberation, which is a DCS World turn based single-player or co-op dynamic campaign. It is an external program that generates full and complex DCS missions and manage a persistent combat environment.
DCS Retribution will rely heavily on Liberation in the near future, and possibly in a more distant future as well since Retribution will attempt to stay backwards compatible for as long as possible. Therefore, the patreon link will keep pointing to Khopa's account until further notice.
Currently, Retribution supports the following new features:
- A livery selector in the air wing configuration dialog
- Support for campaigns with quad-point triggers
- Support for the F-15D 'Baz' mod
- Support for the Su-30 mod
- Elementary end-game mechanics
- Variation in flight-size for BAI/ANTISHIP/DEAD/STRIKE main flight (randomize 2/3/4-ships)
- More performance options
- Various bug-fixes (including a fix for the zombie carrier)
- And more... (See changelog)

Special Thanks
First, a big thanks to shdwp, for starting the original DCS Liberation project.
Then, DCS Liberation/Retribution uses pydcs for mission generation, and nothing would be possible without this. It also uses the popular Mist lua framework for mission scripting.
Excellent lua scripts DCS Liberation/Retribution uses as plugins:
- For the JTAC feature, DCS Retribution embeds Ciribob's JTAC Autolase script.
- Walder's Skynet-IADS is used for Integrated Air Defense System.
Please also show some support to these projects !
