If the transport were able to move exactly the quantity of units of the
given type remaining in the transfer without moving the whole order, the
transfer order would be left with instructions to transfer zero of that
unit. That's an invariant violation, and was resulting in _later_
transfers attempting to create a convoy with zero units, which pydcs
rightly rejects.
For example: if 2 Abrams and 2 Paladins are ordered to transfer from a
disconnected FOB to a distant location that is connected by road, and
only two cargo slots are available, that transfer could be split into:
```
{
Abrams: 2
}
```
and
```
{
Abrams: 0,
Paladin: 2
}
```
Depending on the route, those airlifted units might end up still needing
road transit (we prefer short airlifts rather than direct routes because
it gives the player more opportunities to intercept enemy convoys). The
current turn would airlift the Abrams-only group and the Paladin group
would wait. On the next turn the Abrams would travel by road and the
Paladins would be airlifted. On the _third_ turn, the Paladins (and zero
Abrams) would generate an invalid convoy.

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.
Includes the new A-10C radios. Will follow up to make Liberation
actually use them.
This manually removes some weapons from mod files that were removed from
DCS. Those mods may need re-exporting, and may also need updating by
their authors, but for now this should keep them functioning.
All three refueling missions share a common task type and differentiate
their behavior based on the type and allegiance of the package target.
This means that if the theater commander identifies a carrier as the
best location for a theater refueling task, a recovery tanker will be
planned by mistake.
If this happens on a sunken carrier, mission generation will fail
because a recovery tanker cannot be generated for a sunken carrier.
Fix the crash and the misplanned theater tanker by preventing the
commander from choosing fleet control points as refueling targets.

This is the first step toward bundling all assets related to a save game
into a single item. That makes it easier to avoid clobbering "temporary"
assets from other games like the state.json, but also makes it easier
for players to file bug reports, since there's only a single asset to
upload.
This is only the first step because so far it only includes the various
save files: start of turn, end of last turn before results processing,
and "latest" (the game saved explicitly by the player).
All groups (friendly and enemy) that are part of the front line are set
to `Hidden On MFD`. This is a group level filter, and can not be applied
on a per unit basis.
We often get save games uploaded with bug reports that are already in a
broken state with nothing we can do about it. This saves that turn to
`last_turn.liberation` so users are less likely to have clobbered the
useful data before filing the report.
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)
Last version of pydcs was missing flyable aircraft, specifically the following:
- Mi-24P
- I-16
- Christen Eagle II
- Mirage-F1CE
It also removed the flyable option for the F/A-18C, i.e. the AI variant.
Note that the flyable F-18's ID is "FA-18C_hornet".
- 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
