Air Assets C130 Compatibility

V0.1.3 - C130 / AC130 compatibility fix
Fix false INCOMPLETE C130 refusals when AC130 is present. Requires Air Assets 1.3.3 or later.

AIR ASSETS - C130 COMPATIBILITY
Optional addon by V-KING | 0.1.3

An optional Air Assets addon connecting KOVA ATAK to N1C's USASOC Ai C130. Open Air Assets > Fixed Wing > AIRLIFT to configure and send C-130 missions.

FEATURES
- Static Line Drop and Cargo Airdrop: choose a drop point on the ATAK map or from a Congo point.
- Configure drop altitude (150-4000 m AGL), approach side, egress direction, boarding time and recovery airfield.
- Transport, Assault Landing and Combat Approach profiles with destination airfield, cruise height and stay/return settings.
- Deliberate ground UNLOAD for parked aircraft with a fully open ramp and available cargo.
- Flight phase feedback and server-side friendly AI pilot, active flight and shared task checks.

SETUP
Enable this addon on the server and clients. It requires Air Assets and USASOC Ai C130; their Workshop dependencies provide KOVA ATAK, the C130J, flight cores and static-line systems. The F35 compatibility addon is not required.

The Game Master must place a standard C130J with a living friendly AI pilot and N1C's matching RWY START / RWY END runway comments. Departure, destination and recovery airfields need valid runway pairs. Load cargo and equip/board passengers using the original C130/GMS systems.

Keep the friendly C130 flight at one departure airfield. C130 tasking is shared across the flight, rather than selected by an individual CAS callsign. Remove competing unconsumed DZ markers before sending an Air Assets drop. PROFILE cycles mission types; NEXT SETTING selects a parameter; the middle action row changes its value. Select a DZ or destination, review the settings and press SEND AIRLIFT.

CURRENT LIMITS
HALO and HAHO are not implemented. Static Line Drop also releases loaded cargo; Cargo Airdrop requires an empty passenger cabin. Congo supplies the drop point, not a complete route or obstacle-avoidance corridor. Vehicle delivery depends on the upstream C130 cargo system.

Workbench compilation and 37 dedicated-server integration checks passed; takeoff roll and climb were observed. Full flight, drop/landing delivery, ground cargo release, controller navigation and PS5 joining still need in-game validation. Please report the mission profile, addon versions and console.log with any issue.

CHANGELOG 0.1.3
Match the Air Assets 1.3.3 interface: aligned CAS/AIRLIFT tabs, hover, state indicators and contextual mission feedback. Requires Air Assets 1.3.3 or later.

CHANGELOG 0.1.0
Initial release: optional AIRLIFT page, map/Congo DZ selection, static-line/cargo/transport profiles, assault/combat landing settings, guarded ground unload, flight phase status and server validation. Previous transport tasks are cleared only after a new drop marker is registered successfully.
