The country and aircraft fields will be used to match squadrons that are found against the squadrons being used. The country should be spelled exactly as it would be in a faction file. Factions that use Combined Joint Task Forces nations will have access to all squadrons with matching aircraft. The aircraft should match the key (**the value in quotes**) of the aircraft found in `plane_map` in [planes.py](https://github.com/pydcs/dcs/blob/master/dcs/planes.py) or `helicopter_map` in [helicopters.py](https://github.com/pydcs/dcs/blob/master/dcs/helicopters.py). Note that for modded aircraft these are currently defined in [db.py](https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/blob/develop/game/db.py#L159-L165) instead. If the code moves and that link becomes out of date, search for a section that looks similar to:
```python
plane_map["A-4E-C"] = A_4E_C
plane_map["F-22A"] = F_22A
plane_map["MB-339PAN"] = MB_339PAN
plane_map["Su-57"] = Su_57
plane_map["Hercules"] = Hercules
plane_map["JAS39Gripen"] = JAS39Gripen
plane_map["JAS39Gripen_AG"] = JAS39Gripen_AG

The `role` field is currently non-functional. The `role` field will later be shown in the UI as information for the player.

The `players` field operates the same as the `pilots` field, but the created pilots will be created as player pilots.
#### Aircraft in 4.x and newer
The aircraft should match the variant name of the aircraft as specified in the unit data file. For more information about variant names, see https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/wiki/Custom-Factions#aircraft-and-ground-unit-names.
#### Aircraft in 3.x
The aircraft should match the key (**the value in quotes**) of the aircraft found in `plane_map` in [planes.py](https://github.com/pydcs/dcs/blob/master/dcs/planes.py) or `helicopter_map` in [helicopters.py](https://github.com/pydcs/dcs/blob/master/dcs/helicopters.py).

### Generated squadrons
A squadron will be generated for any aircraft that does not have any predefined squadrons available.
