+--
+-- FORMATION makes AI @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}s fly in formation of various compositions.
+-- The FORMATION class models formations in a different manner than the internal DCS formation logic!!!
+-- The purpose of the class is to:
+--
+--   * Make formation building a process that can be managed while in flight, rather than a task.
+--   * Human players can guide formations, consisting of larget planes.
+--   * Build large formations (like a large bomber field).
+--   * Form formations that DCS does not support off-the-shelve.
+--
+-- A few remarks:
+--
+--   * Depending on the type of plane, the change in direction by the leader may result in the formation getting disentangled while in flight and needs to be rebuild.
+--   * Formations are vulnerable to collissions, but is depending on the type of plane, the distance between the planes and the speed and angle executed by the leader.
+--   * Formations may take a while to build up.
+--
+-- As a result, the FORMATION is not perfect, but is very useful to:
+--
+--   * Model large formations when flying straight line. You can build close formations when doing this.
+--   * Make humans guide a large formation, when the planes are wide from each other.

+--
+-- ## Formation methods
+--
+-- The following methods can be used to set or change the formation:
+--
+--  * @{#FORMATION.FormationLine}(): Form a line formation (core formation function).
+--  * @{#FORMATION.FormationTrail}(): Form a trail formation.
+--  * @{#FORMATION.FormationLeftLine}(): Form a left line formation.

+-- # The BEACONS Concept
+--
+-- This class is designed 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.
+-- **Note** your `MissionScripting` environment needs to be desanitized to read this data. `Package` als needs to be available.
+-- 
+-- # 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 NAVFIX Concept
+--
+-- The NAVFIX class has a great concept!
+-- 
+-- A NAVFIX describes a geo position and can, *e.g.*, be part of a FLIGHTPLAN. It has a unique name and is of a certain type, *e.g.* "Intersection", "VOR", "Airbase" etc.
+-- It can also have further properties as min/max altitudes and speeds that aircraft need to obey when they pass the point.
+-- 
+-- # Basic Setup
+-- 
+-- A new `NAVFIX` object can be created with the @{#NAVFIX.New}() function.
+-- 
+--     myNavPoint=NAVFIX:New()
+--     myTemplate:SetXYZ(X, Y, Z)

+-- A new `NAVAID` object can be created with the @{#NAVAID.New}(`WarehouseName`, `FleetName`) function, where `WarehouseName` is the name of the static or unit object hosting the fleet

+-- # The APPROACH Concept
+-- 
+-- A typical approach has (up to) four segments. It starts with the initial approach segment, followed by the intermediate approach segment, followed
+-- by the final approach segment. In case something goes wrong during the final approach, the missed approach segment kicks in. 
+-- 
+-- The initial approach segment starts at the initial approach fix (IAF). The segment can contain multiple other fixes, that need to be passed.
+-- Note, that an approach procedure can have more than one intitial approach segment and IAF.
+-- 
+-- The intermediate approach segment starts at the intermediate fix (IF). The intermediate approach segment blends the initial approach segment into the final approach segment. 
+-- It is the segment in which aircraft configuration, speed, and positioning adjustments are made for entry into the final approach segment.

+-- # The RADIOS Concept
+--
+-- This class is designed 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.
+-- **Note** your `MissionScripting` environment needs to be desanitized to read this data.
+-- 
+-- # 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>\radio.lua")

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

+-- # The TOWNS Concept
+--
+-- This class is designed 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.
+-- **Note** your `MissionScripting` environment needs to be desanitized to read this data.
+-- 
+-- # 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>\map\towns.lua")

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