mvee	cb63b37494	Cargo objects were updated Quickfix for the cargo container hence the catergory and type was changed after Mi8 release	2016-12-02 18:58:49 +02:00
Emiliano Molina	cefd92f720	List radio beacons when enabledRadioBeaconDrop is false. When radio beacons are programmatically generated, if option to allow the player to create beacons is not set then there was no way for the player to get the operating frequency of the programmatically generated beacons. This patch modifies addF10MenuOptions to give the user to list radio beacons when enabledRadioBaconDrop is false. If enabledRadioBeaconDrop is true then there is no change to the behaviour of the program. However if it is false then a check is made to see if deployedRadioBeacons is empty. If it is not the the user is given the option to list radio beacons but not modify them.	2016-12-03 00:16:32 +11:00
