Hope you all had a safe and happy holiday season!
This update introduces the three Japanese battleship classes:
- Fuso
- Ise
- Nagato
In addition, rear gunners have been added to those aircraft that were missing them along with support for custom campaign maps which now allow modders to start creating campaigns outside of the original Solomon Islands map area.
Finally, TMA parameters for calculating firing solutions have been added on an individual ship class basis to better represent their accuracy.
Version 1.08g4h1

materials/other added material references for Fuso, Ise, Nagato

ship_data.txt files added new variable "tmaOverride":[0.03,0.95,0.01,0.75,0.1,0.75,0.007,0.2]
- values specified override global TMA variables from config.txt
- [directorTMARate, directorMaxSolution, localDirectorTMARate, localDirectorMaxSolution, tmaPercentRangeThreshold, tmaPercentRangeMaxPenalty, tmaDecayRate, tmaRadarBonus]
- all merchants_data.txt files added "tmaOverride":[0.02,0.85,0.01,0.75,0,1,0.02,0.15] to drop surface gunnery accuracy by ~30% at 10km and reduce bonus from radar
- all submarines_data.txt files added "tmaOverride":[0.03,0.95,0.01,0.75,0.1,0.75,0.007,0.2] to increase solution rate and decrease decay rate to emulate better tracking of multiple targets
Re-imported model files/corrected textures for ships:
- south_dakota
- lexington
- wasp
Re-imported model files/textures for aircraft to add rear gunners:
- devastator
- jake
Modified aircraft_model.txt files for devastator, jake to add rear guns

CAMPAIGN
default/campaign/campaignXXX/setup.txt added new variable "customWaterMask":false
- if true, the path specified in variable "mapWaterMask":"maps/solomon/solomon_watermask_example.png" is read
- watermask should be 2048x1024 png file with transparency defining water
