Supported Factions
Because of the speed that custom mods get updated it can be difficult to keep up with which factions are working fully with ALiVE. If in doubt, place the ALiVE Orbat Tool module, go into game and load the faction. The Faction menu will indicate which groups are compatible with ALiVE.

Editor Notes
- Some mods do not have proper ammo configs for aircraft which prevents ALiVE from properly detecting them as CAS, CAP, etc. The UNSUNG mod is an example of this. See here for more info: https://github.com/ALiVEOS/ALiVE.OS/issues/384
Orbatron Factions
Custom factions and replacement packs made with the ALiVE Orbat Tool. There will be dependencies on other mods so check the details before using them. A collection of these configs is kept on the ALiVE GDrive.
