VeteranAircraft

Flag:	VeteranAircraft
File(s):	rules(md).ini, Maps
Values:	Comma-separated list of strings. (Limited to: AircraftTypes)
Default:	<none>
Applicable to:	Countries, Houses

This tag is used to list aircraft that can be built and start the game as veterans by certain countries. The tag should be included under the relevant country header in the [Countries] or [Houses] section i.e.

[Germans]
VeteranAircraft=ORCA

The aircraft listed must also be listed under the [AircraftTypes] list and should be owned by the country in question to prevent possible errors.

Automatic List Inclusion

AircraftTypes used as values for this flag are automatically listed under the internal [AircraftTypes] array. However no harm can be done by listing them manually.

Warning: The default INI files contain commented out or unexplained usage of this flag/section which, when restored (often simply out of curiousity), results in problems that are hard to trace and are seemingly unrelated.

In Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge, the unmodded rules(md).ini file includes this statement:

[British]
;VeteranAircraft=SHAD

Uncommenting it will cause errors, because SHAD is listed under VehicleTypes, so there will be two instances of SHAD on the sidebar. One behaves like a JumpJet VehicleType, the other like an AircraftType (rotors don't move, for example).
