F/A-18E and F/A-18F are added to their factions, Growler is currently in
its respective factions but was released in 2009, this will be changed
if needed.
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.
I think someone just copied this pattern from the icons where the suffix
represented the icon size. These are definitely not 24px banners, and
some of the suffixes are even wrong (_25).
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.
This Pull Request lets users plan Tanker flights.
Features:
- Introduction of `Refueling` flight type.
- Tankers can be purchased at airbases and carriers.
- Tankers get planned by AI.
- Tankers are planned from airbases and at aircraft carriers.
- Tankers aim to be at high, fast, and 70 miles from the nearest threat.
(A10s won't be able to tank)
- Tankers racetrack orbit for one hour.
- Optional Tickbox to enable legacy tankers.
- S-3B Tanker added to factions.
- KC-130 MPRS added to factions.
- Kneeboard shows planned tankers, their tacans, and radios.
Limitations:
- AI doesn't know whether to plan probe and drogue or boom refueling
tankers.
- User can't choose tanker speed. Heavily loaded aircraft may have
trouble.
- User can't choose tanker altitude. A-10s will not make it to high
altitude.
Problems:
- Tanker callsigns do not increment, see attached image. (Investigated:
Need to use `FlyingType.callsign_dict`, instead of just
`FlyingType.callsign`. This seems like it might be significant work
to do.).
- Having a flight of two or more tankers only spawns one tanker.
- Let me know if you have a solution, or feel free to commit one.
