+-- ### [Autolase](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/tree/develop/)
+-- 
+-- ===
+-- 
+-- **Main Features:**
+--
+--    * Detect and lase contacts automatically
+--    * Targets are lased by threat priority order
+--    * Use FSM events to link functionality into your scripts
+--    * Easy setup

+-- # 1 Autolase concept
+-- 
+-- * Detect and lase contacts automatically
+-- * Targets are lased by threat priority order
+-- * Use FSM events to link functionality into your scripts
+-- * Easy set-up
+-- 
+-- # 2 Basic usage
+-- 
+-- ## 2.2 Set up a group of Recce Units:
+-- 
+--            local FoxSet = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes("Recce"):FilterCoalitions("blue"):FilterStart()
+--            
+-- ## 2.3 (Optional) Set up a group of pilots, this will drive who sees the F10 menu entry:
+-- 
+--            local Pilotset = SET_CLIENT:New():FilterCoalitions("blue"):FilterActive(true):FilterStart()
+--            
+-- ## 2.4 Set up and start Autolase:
+-- 
+--            local autolaser = AUTOLASE:New(FoxSet,coalition.side.BLUE,"Wolfpack",Pilotset)
+--            
+-- ## 2.5 Example - Using a fixed laser code for a specific Recce unit:
+-- 
+--            local recce = SPAWN:New("Reaper")
+--              :InitDelayOff()
+--              :OnSpawnGroup(
+--                function (group)
+--                  local unit = group:GetUnit(1)
+--                  local name = unit:GetName()
+--                  autolaser:SetRecceLaserCode(name,1688)
+--                end
+--              )
+--              :InitCleanUp(60)
+--              :InitLimit(1,0)
+--              :SpawnScheduled(30,0.5)
+--              
+-- ## 2.6 Example - Inform pilots about events:
+-- 
+--            autolaser:SetNotifyPilots(true) -- defaults to true, also shown if debug == true
+--            -- Note - message are shown to pilots in the #SET_CLIENT only if using the pilotset option, else to the coalition.

 --   * Provide radio functionality to broadcast radio transmissions.
---  
+--
 -- What are radio communications in DCS?
--- 
+--
 --   * Radio transmissions consist of **sound files** that are broadcasted on a specific **frequency** (e.g. 115MHz) and **modulation** (e.g. AM),
 --   * They can be **subtitled** for a specific **duration**, the **power** in Watts of the transmiter's antenna can be set, and the transmission can be **looped**.
--- 
+--
 -- How to supply DCS my own Sound Files?
---   
+--
 --   * Your sound files need to be encoded in **.ogg** or .wav,
 --   * Your sound files should be **as tiny as possible**. It is suggested you encode in .ogg with low bitrate and sampling settings,
 --   * They need to be added in .\l10n\DEFAULT\ in you .miz file (wich can be decompressed like a .zip file),
 --   * For simplicity sake, you can **let DCS' Mission Editor add the file** itself, by creating a new Trigger with the action "Sound to Country", and choosing your sound file and a country you don't use in your mission.
---   
+--
 -- Due to weird DCS quirks, **radio communications behave differently** if sent by a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP} or by any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
--- 
+--
 --   * If the transmitter is a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}, DCS will set the power of the transmission automatically,
 --   * If the transmitter is any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}, the transmisison can't be subtitled or looped.
---   
+--
 -- Note that obviously, the **frequency** and the **modulation** of the transmission are important only if the players are piloting an **Advanced System Modelling** enabled aircraft,
 -- like the A10C or the Mirage 2000C. They will **hear the transmission** if they are tuned on the **right frequency and modulation** (and if they are close enough - more on that below).
 -- If an FC3 aircraft is used, it will **hear every communication, whatever the frequency and the modulation** is set to. The same is true for TACAN beacons. If your aircraft isn't compatible,

 -- # RADIO usage
--- 
+--
 -- There are 3 steps to a successful radio transmission.
--- 
+--
 --   * First, you need to **"add a @{#RADIO} object** to your @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}. This is done using the @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE.GetRadio}() function,
 --   * Then, you will **set the relevant parameters** to the transmission (see below),
 --   * When done, you can actually **broadcast the transmission** (i.e. play the sound) with the @{RADIO.Broadcast}() function.
---   
+--
 -- Methods to set relevant parameters for both a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP} or any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
--- 
+--
 --   * @{#RADIO.SetFileName}() : Sets the file name of your sound file (e.g. "Noise.ogg"),
 --   * @{#RADIO.SetFrequency}() : Sets the frequency of your transmission.
 --   * @{#RADIO.SetModulation}() : Sets the modulation of your transmission.
 --   * @{#RADIO.SetLoop}() : Choose if you want the transmission to be looped. If you need your transmission to be looped, you might need a @{#BEACON} instead...
--- 
+--
 -- Additional Methods to set relevant parameters if the transmitter is a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}

--- 
+--
 -- What is this power thing?
--- 
+--
 --   * If your transmission is sent by a @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE} other than a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}, you can set the power of the antenna,
 --   * Otherwise, DCS sets it automatically, depending on what's available on your Unit,
 --   * If the player gets **too far** from the transmitter, or if the antenna is **too weak**, the transmission will **fade** and **become noisyer**,
 --   * This an automated DCS calculation you have no say on,
 --   * For reference, a standard VOR station has a 100 W antenna, a standard AA TACAN has a 120 W antenna, and civilian ATC's antenna usually range between 300 and 500 W,
