We don't need explicit configuration of initial points. The plane
automatically configures any steerpoint immediately before a target
point as an initial point.
Target offset points and aim points have not been implemented because I
can't find any information the describes their intent.

The old DCS AI F-15E is sticking around because the two have very
different weapon sets for now, so it's probably better to use the AI-
only one for squadrons that don't expect players.
I've avoided renaming the old one (we probably should name it "... (AI)"
for clarity) because the rename will break save compat. I have added a
_new_ name that new campaigns can use though.

Updates the filename of the F-16A banner so that liberation can read
it.
Updates the F-16A.yaml resource file to add BAI / CAS / antiship
mission types - since the 15A is capable of these.
Updated the F-16A payload provide more capability - primarily adding
jamming pods to the centerline, moving the fuel tanks from the
centerline to the inner wings, replacing the AIS_ASQ_T50 on the
wingtips with 120Bs, and changing the CAP loadout to have 120Bs on
pylons 8 and 3 so they fall back to sparrows on historical campaigns.
The manual for the legacy warthog usually calls these VHF 1/2 and UHF,
or VHF AM/FM and UHF. The AM/FM nomenclature is what I usually hear
people call them and it's clearer, so go with that.
For the A-10C II, that manual hasn't been updated for the AN/ARC-210
yet, so I'm not really sure what that ought to be called. The UFC calls
it COM 1 though, so I went with that. The alternative would be something
like VHF/UHF for the 210 and UHF for the 164, but I don't know if that's
actually better. Could be completely explicit and call them by their
full names, but that's probably less clear to people that aren't
fiddling with the radio implementation constantly (and even I confuse
the 164 and the 186 all the damn time).
My earlier tests were not accurate enough. It turns out that yes, DCS
does still do some channel clobbering with these, so fix the radio
selection to account for that.
I also fumbled some copy paste between the A-10Cs so the A-10C II
channel assignment ended up in the wrong section doing nothing...
The latest DCS update both added support for preset radios (two both
A-10C modules!), and re-ordered the legacy A-10C's radios so we can use
the VHF radio for intra-flight.
After this patch, the legacy A-10C will use VHF for intra-flight, the
new module will use one AN/ARC-210 for intra-flight and the other for
inter-flight comms, and both modules will have preset channels assigned.
- Add the new airassault mission type and special flightplans for it
- Add the mission type to airbase and FOB
- Add Layout for the UH-1H
- Add mission type to capable squadrons
- Allow the auto planner to task air assault missions when preconditions are met
- Improve Airlift mission type and improve the flightplan (Stopover and Helo landing)
- Allow Slingload and spawnable crates for airlift
- Rework airsupport to a general missiondata class
- Added Carrier Information to mission data
- Allow to define CTLD specific capabilities in the unit yaml
- Allow inflight preload and fixed wing support for air assault
Resolves#1964 but adding CTLD will require the use of Liberation plugins and thus are not included in this pull request.
- Implemented support for the UH-60L mod by =X51= Kinkkujuustovoileipa, Cubeboy, Jonas, JinxxDCS, Dorian, =X51= Parzival & =X51= Lawson.
- Because the standard DCS tankers will not fly below 160ish knots, the UH-60L mod team have included a modified version of the KC-130 tanker designed for refueling at speeds of 120-130kts.
Kneeboard improvements:
* Optional (aircraft specific) metric speeds/distances/altitudes.
* Heading to waypoint.
Fuel still needs to be converted to metric, but good enough for now.

In game this is an E-2D, but the ID of the aircraft in the game data is
E-2C. Presumably it was repainted at some point in a DCS update.
This adds a variant but doesn't delete the old one to avoid breaking
campaigns and factions. I moved blufor modern to the E-2D but the rest
of the factions are too old so we'll let them pretend.
