ATC table was changed to the correct name for the enumerator string of "Ford" to "Ford_AB" The main enumerator table was not also changed so the two mismatched.
One has to agree with the other else Moose stops with an index error.
However, there could be minor risk if someone refers to the old enumerator. Whilst we dont care about the string name, the AB was changed by ED anyway. The actual way to keep is to have the string equal the map name. Either way is damned if you do, damned if you don't but I'd rather keep the convention and blame ED than keep it wrong and inconsistent.
- Started with the implementation of multiple languages of speech. Got now a Russian and English prototype working.
- Moved radio frequency settings to a squadron, so multiple squadrons can communicate in their own radio frequency.
- Added the option SetFlashStatus() to the CommandCenter to ensure flashing of subscribed tasks automatically to inform the player while in-flight. Also extended TASK to ensure the flasing gets initialized once the player joins the task.
- Implement Scheduled Trace - Now source and line number are shown for scheduled calls.
- Info lines are now shown where appropriate.
- The width of trace for the class name is now 25 characters instead of 20.
AIRBOSS v1.0.8
- Fixed bug that status reset after wave off causes a unitcorn grade.
- Optimized radio scheduler calls ==> leads to less mem consumtion according to collectgarbage("count").
RESCUEHELO v1.0.9
- Adjusted default follow time interval to 1.0 sec.
- Added SetFollowTimeInterval() function.
- Respawn after returned delayed by 5 sec.
GROUP
- Added nil check in RespawnAtCurrentAirbase() function.
- Implemented attack nearest ground target.
- Implemented attack nearest air target.
- Report all targets.
- Report only ground targets.
- Report only ground targets with radar.
- Report only air targets.
- Sort targest from nearest to furthest.
- Improved menu system.
- Improved detection of ground targets and air targets and reporting.
- Added the task TASK_CAPTURE as part of the reporting framework.

All these fixes are great improvements to the AI_ESCORT framework!
