Create a WaypointAction class that defines the actions taken at a
waypoint. These will often map one-to-one with DCS waypoint actions but
can also be higher level and generate multiple actions. Once everything
has migrated all waypoint-type-specific behaviors of
PydcsWaypointBuilder will be gone, and it'll be easier to keep the sim
behaviors in sync with the mission generator behaviors.
For now only hold has been migrated. This is actually probably the most
complicated action we have (starting with this may have been a mistake,
but it did find all the rough edges quickly) since it affects waypoint
timings and flight position during simulation. That part isn't handled
as neatly as I'd like because the FlightState still has to special case
LOITER points to avoid simulating the wrong waypoint position. At some
point we should probably start tracking real positions in FlightState,
and when we do that will be solved.
This is briefly moving us over to my fork of pydcs while we wait for
https://github.com/pydcs/dcs/pull/206 to be merged. The adaptation is
invasive enough that I don't want it lingering for long.
Rather than polling at 60Hz (which may be faster than the tick rate,
wasting cycles; and also makes synchronization annoying), collect events
during the tick and emit them after (rate limited, pooling events until
it is time for another event to send).
This can be improved by paying attention to the aircraft update list,
which would allow us to avoid updating aircraft that don't have a status
change. To do that we need to be able to quickly lookup a FlightJs
matching a Flight through, and Flight isn't hashable.
We should also be removing dead events and de-duplicating. Currently
each flight has an update for every tick, but only the latest one
matters. Combat update events also don't matter if the same combat is
new in the update.
