A mizdata file is associated to a DCS Liberation control point, which is usually an airbase.
Mizdata files are located in directory ./resources/mizdata/<map name>/<control point name>.miz
Mizdata files are located in directory ./resources/mizdata/[map name]/[control_point_name].miz
These files contains :
- Preset location for SAMs/strike targets
- Preset offshore locations
- Preset location for coastal/defense (Silkworm missiles sites for modern scenario, or Artilery Bunker for WW2)
- Preset location for Factory/Power Plant (for future use)
- Maybe more stuff later

# About locations to pick :
Try to spread them out around the control point area, but do not put them too close together. Otherwise we might end up with overlapping icons in the DCS Liberation software if two locations are too close from each other have been picked.
Also make sure the picked locations do not overlap with locations from another Control Point !
Here is an example for Mozdok :

# Offshore locations
These are represented by Oliver Hazard Perry class ships, USA country.
Maybe more things in the future.
These are used to generate starting locations for ship group or oil platform sites.
Spread them in the sea, near the control point (if the control point is a coastal one) :

# Coastal defenses site
These are represented by Iranian Silkworm Missiles launcher, on the coast, with their heading in the direction of the sea (this is important, so we'd be able get the generation of these site right). You don't need them on non-coastal control points.

# Factory / Power Plant Location
These are represented by a single "Workshop A" static structure, country USA in the mission editor.

Please try to give them a name if you can, we might use these later as well to name objective realistically :
