If I build a FOB will this also Save 

Yes, this is defined by "outpost" in the config section already (If you are talking about FOB's in CTLD) :

-- All Static Objects with type names in this array will be included when saveing. (Not all types objects are able to be saved!)
-- See list of types here: https://github.com/mrSkortch/DCS-miscScripts/tree/master/ObjectDB
spgg.includeStaticObjectTypeTbl = {
"outpost",
"house2arm",
"WindTurbine"

}

Depends if you are aiming to keep the saved Units from the last mission. (If it's the same map).
If you don't want units from the last mission you can just clear the save file with : spgg.clearSavefile()

Is there any way that when I create a new FOB  using CTLD and it saves that fob on a restart it then could populate the Fob with some Choppers ?

SPGG saves FOB's if you set it up to do so. But if you want static choppers you need to script that in to spawn. (If you are thinking of player choppers, then no, DCS does not allow this.)

See the top of the script, you can find this:

spgg.includeStaticObjectTypeTbl = {
"outpost", -- THis is A FOB in CTLD
"house2arm",
"WindTurbine",
"FARP Ammo Dump Coating",
"FARP CP Blindage",
"FARP Fuel Depot",


}

Yep was thinking of Player FARPS / FOBS we can create where we want and spawn there -  many thanks for getting back to me

Ive just played a mission and destroyed some units.. then reloaded the mission and its not saved the state...

The save file is being populated though, I can see the modified date changed.

Please take a look at the example mission. Most people trying the script don't realize how the script works.

Example if you place units in the editor, they will always be there if you don't set them up correctly to only spawn the first time you load the mission.

 

If you can't make it work, post your.miz file and I'll take a look at it.

Update v026 :

- Added support for saving CTLD crates. (Change to spgg.saveCtldCrates = true)

You can now fly crates and drop them, save using the spgg.save() command and restart the game/server, load statics and the crates will be there ready to be deployed!

Update v027 :
- Changed spawning commands, see Readme SPGG vxxx file or example mission for new commands (Removed 1956 lines of code)
- Fixed tons of errors when using debugging (spgg.showEnvinfo = true)

Hi!
The readme is inside the .zip file you can download from the "Releases" section on the right side of the page on Github 

https://github.com/AGluttonForPunishment/SPGG/releases/tag/SPGGv027

Be aware that the lua on the front page is not the latest version. (will update it later). Latest release is always under releases.
