***** Notes *****
*************************************************************************
For single missions and parked aircraft to work properly:
- A terrain with limited nations needs to have "USMC" as a FriendlyNation in
it's nations file. A modified ICELANDNA_NATIONS.INI is included
- If you're using Battle Groups in user-made missions, make sure the group's
nation is set to "USMC"
- For parked aircraft to show up, they must be "USMC" and have
"CarrierBased=TRUE" and "CarrierParkSpan=2.00" in their _data.ini. A
modified version of AV-8A_DATA.INI for Wrench's AV-8A is included.
- The first catapult has no effect, and requires you to use thrust vectoring
to take off. This also means your flight as to be limited to a max of 4,
or the 5th aircraft will crash on takeoff.
- AI aircraft don't use thrust vectoring to land, and must land with a fake
arrestor hook to come aboard. One is included in the modified
AV-8A_DATA.INI.
- This was tested with Wrench's AV-8A, and the _data.ini included

***** Bugs *****
*************************************************************************
Non-STOVL, USMC aircraft, sometimes have the LHA defined as their home base, in
single missions. Setting "CarrierBaseSize=SMALL" for the LHA and
"MinBaseSize=MEDIUM" for the aircraft, does not prevent this. Maybe this is
something TK will fix for us.
