Added respawnable escorts to the tankers and awacs

• setup injection of radio presets
• and adapted to scripts version 1.3.0

No more Krymsk for the BLUEs

Multiple changes

• this uses VEAF-Mission-Creation-Tools v1.3.1
• Krymsk is now neutral (it was weird to have a blue base this far north)
• added waypoints to ALL AV-8B Harrier
• corrected the spawned enemy groups' random difficulty (_cas, _spawn xxxGroup)
• added a watchdog function to the combat zones that checks if the zone is done (no more enemies), then output a congratulations message and disables the zone
• spawned units will have a random heading (when none was specified); also set ROE and alarm states (different code, same effect)

JF17, RED tanker and F18s, rebalanced defenses

Multiple changes

- added red tanker T5-Petrolsky
- added escorts for HVT
- balanced the air defenses on the ground

Autorestart at 20:00

• cells in the spawned groups are now square (better placement in spawned groups)
• dynamically generated air defense groups have been modified to follow a template
• added seemingly realistic Russian air defense batteries groups to the spawn list
• added a feature that restarts the mission at 20:00 (mission time)

Happy New Year !

• updated to VEAF-Mission-Creation-Tools v1.1.5
  • corrections to combat zone : spawnRadius now works
  • silent spawn when from a combat zone
• added defenses on all blue bases (including Beslan North FARP)
• enhanced randomness of the Psebay zone

Combat zones

This new release introduces the concept of combat zones (see documentation in the VEAF-Mission-Creation-Tools repository).

The 3 zones can be found in the COMBAT ZONES radio menu :

• Psebay chemical weapons factory : deep strike, covered by air defenses ; bring your friends and a SEAD/DEAD patrol ; STRIKE and CAS aircrafts with support
• Battle for Beslan : CAS, covered by air defenses ; a ground battle between blue and red armies ; HELO and CAS aircrafts with support
• Terek logistics parking : interdiction, none to low air defense ; a logistics company is waiting to resupply the red army at the battle for Beslan ; HELO friendly

Also, lots of small bug corrections, and a new dynamic weather system.

New weather

Changed the weather to add a little more wind, clouds, and a little fog
Added kneeboards to all aircrafts
Corrections in the scripts

New radio cristallisation

Changed the radio cristallisation for BLUE aircrafts, based on what's been done in the TRAD mission.
This is a work in progress.
