Introduced new campaign: DCS: Mi-24 and Ka-50 Peacemaker Campaign by EAGLE86

##### **DCS Core**

AI Aircraft

- After destruction of the group leader during a task External cargo load the remaining group is flying at very low speed. Fixed.

Mission Editor

- [Gun empties after changing status from 'Civil Plane' back to military](https://forum.dcs.world/topic/381856-gun-empties-after-changing-status-from-civil-plane-back-to-military/) - fixed.

- New advanced waypoint action “Disengage and RTB after formation loss” added for AI aircraft for tuning flight tolerance to losses before RTB is called.

- New advanced waypoint action “AI Runway Line Up” added for AI aircraft for enabling AI aircraft performing formation takeoff. AI will automatically adjust formation based on runway width and AI skill.

Features
