+--
+-- # The BEACONS Concept
+--
+-- This class is desinged to make information about beacons of a map/theatre easier accessible. The information contains location, type and frequencies of all or specific beacons of the map.
+-- 
+-- **Note** that try to avoid hard coding stuff in Moose since DCS is updated frequently and things change. Therefore, the main source of information is either a file `beacons.lua` that can be
+-- found in the installation directory of DCS for each map or a table that the user needs to provide.
+-- 
+-- # Basic Setup
+-- 
+-- A new `BEACONS` object can be created with the @{#BEACONS.NewFromFile}(*beacons_lua_file*) function.
+-- 
+--     local beacons=BEACONS:NewFromFile("<DCS_Install_Directory>\Mods\terrains\<Map_Name>\beacons.lua")
+--     beacons:MarkerShow()
+-- 
+-- This will load the beacons from the `<DCS_Install_Directory>` for the specific map and place markers on the F10 map. This is the first step you should do to ensure that the file
+-- you provided is correct and all relevant beacons are present.

+-- # The RADIOS Concept
+--
+-- This class is desinged to make information about radios of a map/theatre easier accessible. The information contains mostly the frequencies of airbases of the map.
+-- 
+-- **Note** that try to avoid hard coding stuff in Moose since DCS is updated frequently and things change. Therefore, the main source of information is either a file `radio.lua` that can be
+-- found in the installation directory of DCS for each map or a table that the user needs to provide.
+-- 
+-- # Basic Setup
+-- 
+-- A new `RADIOS` object can be created with the @{#RADIOS.NewFromFile}(*radio_lua_file*) function.
+-- 
+--     local radios=RADIOS:NewFromFile("<DCS_Install_Directory>\Mods\terrains\<Map_Name>\radios.lua")

+-- you provided is correct and all relevant radios are present.

+-- # The TOWNS Concept
+--
+-- This class is desinged to make information about towns of a map/theatre easier accessible. The information contains location and road/rail connections of the towns.
+-- 
+-- **Note** that try to avoid hard coding stuff in Moose since DCS is updated frequently and things change. Therefore, the main source of information is either a file `towns.lua` that can be
+-- found in the installation directory of DCS for each map or a table that the user needs to provide.
+-- 
+-- # Basic Setup
+-- 
+-- A new `TOWNS` object can be created with the @{#TOWNS.NewFromFile}(*towns_lua_file*) function.
+-- 
+--     local towns=TOWNS:NewFromFile("<DCS_Install_Directory>\Mods\terrains\<Map_Name>\towns.lua")
+--     towns:MarkerShow()
+-- 
+-- This will load the towns from the `<DCS_Install_Directory>` for the specific map and place markers on the F10 map. This is the first step you should do to ensure that the file
+-- you provided is correct and all relevant towns are present.
