Mission planning has been completely redone. Missions are now planned
by right clicking the target area and choosing "New package".
A package can include multiple flights for the same objective. Right
now the automatic flight planner is only fragging single-flight
packages in the same manner that it used to, but that can be improved
now.
The air tasking order (ATO) is now the left bar of the main UI. This
shows every fragged package, and the flights in the selected package.
The info bar that was previously on the left is now a smaller bar at
the bottom of the screen. The old "Mission Planning" button is now
just the "Take Off" button.
The flight plan display no longer shows enemy flight plans. That could
be re-added if needed, probably with a difficulty/cheat option.
Aircraft inventories have been disassociated from the Planner class.
Aircraft inventories are now stored globally in the Game object.
Save games made prior to this update will not be compatible do to the
changes in how aircraft inventories and planned flights are stored.
Make the type of the waypoint a non-optional part of the constructor.
Every waypoint needs a type, and there's no good default (the previous
default, `TAKEOFF`, is actually unused). All of the target waypoints
were mistakenly being set as `TAKEOFF`, so I've fixed that in the
process.
Also, fix the bug where only the last custom target of a SEAD
objective was being added to the waypoint list because the append was
scoped incorrectly.
The first waypoint is automatically added by pydcs, so it's not
actually in our waypoint list from the flight planner. Import is from
the group so it shows up in the kneeboard.
I've been wrongly importing these from `pydcs.dcs` instead of just
`dcs`, because that was what PyCharm thought they were. These will all
be broken when we get back to using a real pydcs instead of relying on
its directory being in our tree.
This page in the wiki should be updated:
https://github.com/Khopa/dcs_liberation/wiki/Developer's-Guide
Instead of recommending that `PYTHONPATH` be updated in the run
configuration, it should instead recommend that Settings -> Project:
dcs_liberation -> Project Structure be set to exclude the pydcs
directory from the dcs_liberation content root, and add the pydcs
directory as a *separate* content root.
Alternatively, we could recommend that configure a virtualenv (good
advice anyway, and pycharm knows how to set them up) that have people
run `pip install -e pydcs`.
I think even easier would be switching from the virtualenv-style
requirements.txt to pipenv, which can actually encode the `-e` style
pip install into its equivalent of requirements.txt.
Add central registries for allocating TACAN/radio channels to the
Operation. These ensure that each channel is allocated uniquely, and
removes the caller's need to think about which frequency to use.
The registry allocates frequencies based on the radio it is given,
which ensures that the allocated frequency will be compatible with the
radio that needs it. A mapping from aircraft to the radio used by that
aircraft for intra-flight comms (i.e. the F-16 uses the AN/ARC-222)
exists for creating infra-flight channels appropriate for the
aircraft. Inter-flight channels are allocated by a generic UHF radio.
I've moved the inter-flight radio channels from the VHF to UHF range,
since that's the most easily allocated band, and inter-flight will be
in the highest demand.
Intra-flight radios are now generally not shared. For aircraft where
the radio type is not known we will still fall back to the shared
channel, but that will stop being the case as we gain more data.
Tankers have been moved to the Y TACAN band. Not completely needed,
but seems typical for most missions and deconflicts the tankers from
any unknown airfields (which always use the X band in DCS).
