The units are then removed from each SET that is subscribed to a set of UNIT objects or GROUP objects! Also the DATABASE is correctly managing this new removal method.
This to prevent the DATABASE getting corrupted with dead units, which were removed with :Destroy(), but which weren't cleaned from the database.
Fixed near range issue for carriers. now the infantry disappearance range for boarding is calculated by the carrier bounding range, which is derived from the bounding rectangle on the Y-axis. The near range parameter can still be provided and will be interpreted as the loading range for static cargo objects!
- AI Cargo Dispatcher works with cargo bay limits for carrier. (i still need to add options to set the parameters for this).
- Carriers load now multiple cargo.
- Added weight and volume attached to cargo objects for units. I reworked the respawning of cargo units, so that these volumes and weights are collected from the unit Descriptor properties!
- There are still bugs, which I need to resolve, but it is going in the right direction.

AI_A2A and AI_Patrol:
Changed average fuel for controllable to new min fuel function. Hopefully provides better RTB behavior.
CONTROLLABLE:
Added GetFuelMin and GetFuelAve functions to ensure polymorphic behavior.
UNIT:
Added GetFuelMin and GetFuelAve functions for completeness and potential polymorphism.
Taking the average fuel available across an entire flight is not really
realistic and does not present an accurate representation of if a group
needs to be sent to refuel or rtb.
An example, a flight of 2 planes; plane 1 has 45% and plane 2 has 25%
(45 + 25)/2 = 35, and 25% is the RTB threshold, plane 2 needs to go home
now. However with the current averaging function plane 2 will have as
little as 15% fuel (assume equal consumption) before the flight
gets ordered home.

ARTY:
Fixed CTD bug. Caused by group:ClearTasks() when no task is assigned (group arrived).
Many other improvements
Cleared up function location.
MESSAGES:
Added optional clear screen parameter.
RANGE:
-Optimized performance. Bombs are now only tracked if the player is within a certain distance of the range.
CONTROLLABLE:
- Added speed unit to @param description. Sometimes it was unclear if speed needs to be given in m/s or km/h.
- Fixed some default speed and conversions.
COORDINATE:
- Cleaned up some speed unit stuff.
- Reintroduced PathOnRoad function to contain the full path. Useful as interface to DCS API function.
- Fixed some default speed and conversions.
AI_CARGO_APC:
Speed is not fixed any more but set to 50% of the max speed a given unit can move at.
