We want other pieces of country information (in particular the short
names). This cleans up a lot of code anyway.
As an added bonus, this now catches squadrons that used invalid names
which would previously be passed through to pydcs and... then I don't
know what would happen.
There isn't really any need for these two types to interact. The lua
plugin manager effectively fully owned its properties, it just delegated
all reads and writes to the settings object.
Instead, break the plugin settings out into the plugin manager and
preserve the manager in the Game. This will make it possible to expose
plugin options in the NGW without breaking the game on cancel.
The mechanism for how this bug arises is that the *WaypointGenerator*
uses the *FlightWaypoint.waypoint_type* to decide whether to generate
the waypoint in the .miz file using a *DeadIngressBuilder* or a
*SeadIngressBuilder*. This *waypoint_type* is set by
*ato.flightplans.<sead|dead>.Builder*, which is set when *ato.flight* is
initialised in the *Flight._flight_plan_builder* member variable based
on *Flight.flight_type*. When *Flight.flight_type* is updated when the
flight is changed from SEAD->DEAD, *Flight._flight_plan_builder* is not
updated in the development build, resulting in it continuing to generate
SEAD waypoints.
This PR adds *set_flight_type()* which sets the *flight_type* property
and updates *Flight._flight_plan_builder* and uses this function when
converting flight types. Ideally, *flight_type* should be made private
and only accessed through getter/setter functions that encapsulate this
behavior, but that would mess up any existing liberation save files.
This PR was tested by:
1. Opening the save file from Issue 2779 in the development build
2. Clicking "Take Off" and confirming that the Weapon Release Type is
"Guided" at the Ingress Waypoint as described in the issue.
3. Opening the save file from Issue 2779 in this PR
4. Converting the SEAD2DEAD flight from DEAD back to SEAD, and then from
SEAD to DEAD
5. Clicking "Take Off" and confirming in the mission editor that the
SEAD2DEAD flight has Weapon Release Type set to "Auto" at the Ingress
Waypoint.

After this change, players will always have the final say in what
missions a squadron can be assigned to. Squadrons are not able to
influence the default auto-assignable missions either because that
property is always overridden by the campaign's air wing configuration
(the primary and secondary task properties). The `mission-types` field
of the squadron definition has been removed since it is no longer
capable of influencing anything. I haven't bothered cleaning up the now
useless data in all the existing squadrons though.
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/2785.
It sounds like PySide2 will not be moving to Python 3.11, so we're stuck
on 3.10 without this. Upgrading to a newer Qt also fixes some high DPI
bugs (the file browser dialog for save/load is no longer tiny on 4k).
https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/5414 previously
blocked this, but the bug appears to be fixed now.
We can always estimate a startup time now. Remove the nullability from
the result, cleanup the callsites, and eliminate
TotEstimator.mission_start_time since it no longer does anything useful.
Flights without a meaningful TOT make the code around startup time (and
other scheduling behaviors) unnecessarily complicated because they have
to handle unpredictable flight plans. We can simplify this by requiring
that all flight plans have a waypoint associated with their TOT. For
custom flight plans, we can just fall back to the takeoff waypoint. For
RTB flight plans (which are only synthetic flight plans injected for
aborted flights), we can use the abort point.
This also means that all flight plans now have, at the very least, a
departure waypoint. Deleting this waypoint is invalid even for custom
flights, so that's no a problem.
For now this is just a callsite cleanup. Later, this will make it easier
to separate unscheduled and scheduled flights into different classes
without complicating the layout/scheduling.
3 items handled:
- Enable/Disable player checkbox if (not) flyable
- Disable player list in air wing config dialog for non-flyable aircraft
- Update changelog
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/2339.
(cherry picked from commit 18057af9ad9212e750b2338add1bc01bf50b868e)
This is theoretically impossible, but for some reason the dialog that
owns this object QEditFlightDialog does not dispose properly on close,
so this handler may be called for a flight whose package has been
canceled, which is an invalid state for calling anything in
TotEstimator.

- 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
Instead of giving an error when a mission type which was added to the squadron is not defined in the Ai autoplanner db for the aircraft the user should be able to task the aircraft accordingly.
Split the oversized file into one per plan type. This also moves the
layout responsibility out of the oversized FlightPlanBuilder and into
each flight plan type file.
This appears to be incompatible with pyinstaller. I get the following
when trying to run the executable generated with pyside6:
```

No idea why we were only resetting this if the max was >= 2. Instead,
always reset the flight to the default size when switching aircraft. The
default for anything capable of a two-ship is two, but limit based on
the airframe's group size limit and the number of aircraft available.

The only parts of the old weapon data that worked well (didn't commonly
result in empty pylons) did this implicitly, so make the grouping
explicit.
This also moves the data out of Python and into the resources, which
both makes the data moddable and isolates us from a huge amount of
effort and a save compat break whenever ED changes weapon names.
I didn't auto migrate the old data since the old groups were not
explict and there's no way to infer the grouping. Besides, since most of
the weapons were *not* grouped, the old data did more harm than good in
my experience. I've handled the AIM-120 and AIM-7 for now, but will get
at least all the fox 3 missiles before we ship.
Aircraft that have no loadouts at all (such as the IL-78M) will have no
loadouts and thus no values in the dropdown menu. If the player toggles
the custom layout box we reset the flight's loadout to the selected
loadout, and with no loadouts in the combo box that is None, and
`Flight.loadout` isn't supposed to be optional.
Check for that case in the loadout selector and replace with an empty
loadout if that happens.

This also adds max group sizes for aircraft that need it but don't
according to DCS. Only the first tanker or AEW&C unit in a group can be
contacted by radio.
This is an attempt to remove a lot of our supposedly unnecessary error
handling. Every aircraft should have a price, a description, a name,
etc; and none of those should require carrying around the faction's
country as context.
This moves all the data for aircraft into yaml files (only one converted
here as an example). Most of the "extended unit info" isn't actually
being read yet.
To replace the renaming of units based on the county, we instead
generate multiple types of each unit when necessary. The CF-18 is just
as much a first-class type as the F/A-18 is.
This doesn't work in its current state because it does break all the
existing names for aircraft that are used in the faction and squadron
files, and we no longer let those errors go as a warning. It will be an
annoying one time switch, but it allows us to define the names that get
used in these files instead of being sensitive to changes as they happen
in pydcs, and allows faction designers to specifically choose, for
example, the Su-22 instead of the Su-17.
One thing not handled by this is aircraft task capability. This is
because the lists in ai_flight_planner_db.py are a priority list, and to
move it out to a yaml file we'd need to assign a weight to it that would
be used to stack rank each aircraft. That's doable, but it makes it much
more difficult to see the ordering of aircraft at a glance, and much
more annoying to move aircraft around in the priority list. I don't
think this is worth doing, and the priority lists will remain in their
own separate lists.
This includes the converted I used to convert all the old unit info and
factions to the new format. This doesn't need to live long, but we may
want to reuse it in the future so we want it in the version history.
