 -- 
 -- # Basic Setup
 -- 
--- A new `BEACONS` object can be created with the @{#BEACONS.NewFromFile}(*beacons_lua_file*) function.

+-- # 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 desinged 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.
--- 
--- # 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>\radios.lua")
---     radios:MarkerShow()
--- 
--- This will load the radios 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 radios are present.
