- A-4E-C Skyhawk
- C-130 Hercules
- CH-47F Chinook
- OV-10A Bronco
- F-4E45MC Phantom II
- F-5E-3 Tiger II

v2.009 02/03/25
  : Restructured spawning to leverage MIST to randomize placement of groups on the map.  Introduced a new script called I2J.lua that houses configurations for easier maintenance.  This script also
       serves as the basis of adding new scripting and configurations in the future.
  : Labeled Southwest mountain ranges to "Copperhead" and "Diamondback" on map
  
v2.008 01/27/25
  : Broke out [E.Lake] Ural Resupply into individual units instead of a single group spread throughout the lake
  : Fixed Chinook name in the CSAR script - the unit name should be "CH-47Fbl1"
  : Adjusted all random group appearance probabilities to 40%
  : Removed most of the static planes at Andersen as we now use StopGaps and have plenty of statics there because of it.
  : Added 8Ball CAP-Navy v2.1  This is REQUIRED https://forum.dcs.world/topic/270558-civilian-objects-and-vehicles/

  : Added a few more random spawns ("Randos") to the Western part of the map. Rando18, Rando19, Rando20, Rando21, Rando22 [there are now 26 groups that can spawn]

  : Removed Group ADA1 from Initialization given it was not used in mission
  : Cleaned up Cocos Island group naming
  : Added additional MASH at Antonio B. Won Pat Airport

v2.007 01/25/25
  : Added new voiceovers to the mission initialization trigger.  "CSAR_GOGOGO_" 01 through 10.  "MASH_We Got Him_" 01 through 06.
        These new voiceovers are randomized in the CSAR script so we now have different voiceovers for pilot pickups and dropoffs at MASH.  Gives a bit more variety and life to the CSAR element.
  : Reacting to reported performance issues
    o  Removed Truck Ural-4320T from the "[Jungle] Infantry x" group into its own single group alongside the infantry.  These groups are now called "[Jungle] ResupplyTruck-x"

v2.006 01/22/25
  : FIX - Changed two groups of red units "[Jungle] Resupply" and "[Jungle] Infantry" to be much smaller and less spread out over the map.  These groups were too big and too spread out.  When players damaged any units in either group, the sim lagged significantly.  By limiting group size and spread, the lag disappeared.  See video here https://youtu.be/6owb2iRb7GA  These groups were removed and replaced with "[Jungle] Infantry x" wh ere x is 1-11
  : Added CFRAG's DML debugger back to mission as conditional load - https://forum.dcs.world/topic/290975-dml-mission-creation-toolbox-no-lua-required/
  : Added mid island scenery clearing zone
  : Removed unused Huey gunships

  : Added Huey skins to some of the statics at Andersen.  Those new skins are
    o Vietnam Tiger Stripe by i_like_cookie    https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3317151/
    o USAF 20th SOS Green Hornets UH-1P Style by SpyderF16        https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3319688/
    o US Army Vietnam 13 Warriors by DishDoggie        https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3328453/
    o UH-1H USMC Vietnam v1.32 by Home Fries        https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/346713/
    o HA(L)-3 Seawolves US Navy by Home Fries        https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/345710/
    o 335th Assault Helicopter Company Vietnam Skin Pack v1.32 by Home Fries        https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/648153/
    o HAL-3 Seawolves by Krasniye            https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3319668/
  : Added Skyhawk skins to some of the statics at Andersen.  Those new skins are
    o A4E VMA214 v1.20 by Home Fries        https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3303088/
  : NOTE - These skins are 100% optional and eye candy only.  The mission still runs if you don't have these installed on the server or host machine.
v2.005 01/14/25
  : Added configuration flags to "Initialization" trigger making control over script loading simple for end users.  See Dedicated ED thread for details.
  : Added additional statics at Andersen and Olf Orote
  : Added ELT Beacon to F4E bailout voiceovers (change made in CSAR Script)
  : Added Arc Light Memorial B52 static to SW corner of Andersen [thanks to https://www.youtube.com/@asmith1496]

IMPORTANT - Those hosting this (locally or via dedicated server) must install a small script ('stopGapGUI.lua') in their SAVED GAMES\Scripts\Hooks folder to prevent clients fr om spawning in the air, falling to the ground, and self destructing.  This is due to a MP synch issue.  This lua is found here - https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3331434/

  : Added Sitting Ducks script by CFRAG which block a player slot if the stand-in static was destroyed - https://forum.dcs.world/topic/326620-sitting-ducks-close-player-slot-when-stand-in-is-destroyed-stopgap-companion/
