T.O.R.E-Fighters: rebuilding Jane's Fighters Anthology in Rust

T.O.R.E-Fighters rebuilds Jane's Fighters Anthology in Rust around observed player-visible behavior. It imports resources from the player's retail copy, implements flight and quick missions, and documents original formats, feature coverage and approximations where behavior remains uncertain.
