---- **Core** - Is responsible for everything that is related to radio transmission and you can hear in DCS, be it TACAN beacons, Radio transmissions.
--- 
--- ===
--- 
--- ## Features:
--- 
---   * Provide radio functionality to broadcast radio transmissions.
---   * Provide beacon functionality to assist pilots.
---
--- The Radio contains 2 classes : RADIO and BEACON
---  
--- 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,
--- you won't hear/be able to use the TACAN beacon informations.

---- Models the radio capability.
--- 
--- ## 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}
--- 
---   * @{#RADIO.SetSubtitle}() : Set both the subtitle and its duration,
---   * @{#RADIO.NewUnitTransmission}() : Shortcut to set all the relevant parameters in one method call
--- 
--- Additional Methods to set relevant parameters if the transmitter is any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
--- 
---   * @{#RADIO.SetPower}() : Sets the power of the antenna in Watts
---   * @{#RADIO.NewGenericTransmission}() : Shortcut to set all the relevant parameters in one method call
--- 
--- 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,
---   * Note that if the transmission has a subtitle, it will be readable, regardless of the quality of the transmission.

 --- Creates and handles schedules over time, which allow to execute code at specific time intervals with randomization.
--- 
+--
 -- A SCHEDULER can manage **multiple** (repeating) schedules. Each planned or executing schedule has a unique **ScheduleID**.
 -- The ScheduleID is returned when the method @{#SCHEDULER.Schedule}() is called.
 -- It is recommended to store the ScheduleID in a variable, as it is used in the methods @{SCHEDULER.Start}() and @{SCHEDULER.Stop}(),
 -- which can start and stop specific repeating schedules respectively within a SCHEDULER object.
 --
 -- ## SCHEDULER constructor
--- 
+--
 -- The SCHEDULER class is quite easy to use, but note that the New constructor has variable parameters:
--- 
+--
 -- The @{#SCHEDULER.New}() method returns 2 variables:
---   
+--
 --  1. The SCHEDULER object reference.
 --  2. The first schedule planned in the SCHEDULER object.
--- 
+--
 -- To clarify the different appliances, lets have a look at the following examples: 
---  
+--
 -- ### Construct a SCHEDULER object without a persistent schedule.
--- 
+--
 --   * @{#SCHEDULER.New}( nil ): Setup a new SCHEDULER object, which is persistently executed after garbage collection.
--- 
+--
 --     MasterObject = SCHEDULER:New()
 --     SchedulerID = MasterObject:Schedule( nil, ScheduleFunction, {} )
--- 
+--
 -- The above example creates a new MasterObject, but does not schedule anything.
 -- A separate schedule is created by using the MasterObject using the method :Schedule..., which returns a ScheduleID
--- 
+--
 -- ### Construct a SCHEDULER object without a volatile schedule, but volatile to the Object existence...
--- 
---   * @{#SCHEDULER.New}( Object ): Setup a new SCHEDULER object, which is linked to the Object. When the Object is nillified or destroyed, the SCHEDULER object will also be destroyed and stopped after garbage collection.
--- 
+--
+--   * @{#SCHEDULER.New}( Object ): Setup a new SCHEDULER object, which is linked to the Object. When the Object is set to nil or destroyed, the SCHEDULER object will also be destroyed and stopped after garbage collection.

 --     garbagecollect()

 -- The above example creates a new MasterObject, but does not schedule anything, and is bound to the existence of ZoneObject, which is a ZONE.
 -- A separate schedule is created by using the MasterObject using the method :Schedule()..., which returns a ScheduleID
 -- Later in the logic, the ZoneObject is put to nil, and garbage is collected.
 -- As a result, the MasterObject will cancel any planned schedule.
---      
+--
 -- ### Construct a SCHEDULER object with a persistent schedule.
--- 
+--
 --   * @{#SCHEDULER.New}( nil, Function, FunctionArguments, Start, ... ): Setup a new persistent SCHEDULER object, and start a new schedule for the Function with the defined FunctionArguments according the Start and sequent parameters.

 --     MasterObject, SchedulerID = SCHEDULER:New( nil, ScheduleFunction, {} )

 -- ## Features:
--- 
+--
 --   * When SAM sites are being fired upon, the SAMs will take evasive action will reposition themselves when possible.
 --   * When SAM sites are being fired upon, the SAMs will take defensive action by shutting down their radars.
--- 
+--   * SEAD calculates the time it takes for a HARM to reach the target - and will attempt to minimize the shut-down time.
+--   * Detection and evasion of shots has a random component based on the skill level of the SAM groups.

 --- Make SAM sites execute evasive and defensive behaviour when being fired upon.
--- 
+--
 -- This class is very easy to use. Just setup a SEAD object by using @{#SEAD.New}() and SAMs will evade and take defensive action when being fired upon.
+-- Once a HARM attack is detected, SEAD will shut down the radars of the attacked SAM site and take evasive action by moving the SAM
+-- vehicles around (*if* they are drivable, that is). There's a component of randomness in detection and evasion, which is based on the
+-- skill set of the SAM set (the higher the skill, the more likely). When a missile is fired from far away, the SAM will stay active for a 
+-- period of time to stay defensive, before it takes evasive actions.

+-- Simple Class for a more intelligent Short Range Air Defense System
+-- 
+-- #SHORAD
+-- Moose derived missile intercepting short range defense system.
+-- Protects a network of SAM sites. Uses events to switch on the defense groups closest to the enemy.
+-- Easily integrated with @{Functional.Mantis#MANTIS} to complete the defensive system setup.
+--
+-- ## Usage
+--
+-- Set up a #SET_GROUP for the SAM sites to be protected:  
+-- 
+--        `local SamSet = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes("Red SAM"):FilterCoalitions("red"):FilterStart()`   
+--    
+-- By default, SHORAD will defense against both HARMs and AG-Missiles with short to medium range. The default defense probability is 70-90%.
+-- When a missile is detected, SHORAD will activate defense groups in the given radius around the target for 10 minutes. It will *not* react to friendly fire.    
+--        
+-- ### Start a new SHORAD system, parameters are:
+--   
+--  * Name: Name of this SHORAD.  
+--  * ShoradPrefix: Filter for the Shorad #SET_GROUP.  
+--  * Samset: The #SET_GROUP of SAM sites to defend.  
+--  * Radius: Defense radius in meters. 
+--  * ActiveTimer: Determines how many seconds the systems stay on red alert after wake-up call.  
+--  * Coalition: Coalition, i.e. "blue", "red", or "neutral".* 
+--    
+--        `myshorad = SHORAD:New("RedShorad", "Red SHORAD", SamSet, 25000, 600, "red")`

+--- **Sound** - Radio transmissions.
+-- 
+-- ===
+-- 
+-- ## Features:
+-- 
+--   * 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,
+-- you won't hear/be able to use the TACAN beacon informations.

+
+--- *It's not true I had nothing on, I had the radio on.* -- Marilyn Monroe
+-- 
+-- # 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}
+-- 
+--   * @{#RADIO.SetSubtitle}() : Set both the subtitle and its duration,
+--   * @{#RADIO.NewUnitTransmission}() : Shortcut to set all the relevant parameters in one method call
+-- 
+-- Additional Methods to set relevant parameters if the transmitter is any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
+-- 
+--   * @{#RADIO.SetPower}() : Sets the power of the antenna in Watts
+--   * @{#RADIO.NewGenericTransmission}() : Shortcut to set all the relevant parameters in one method call
+-- 
+-- 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,
+--   * Note that if the transmission has a subtitle, it will be readable, regardless of the quality of the transmission.

+  -- # The SOUNDFILE Concept
+  --   
+  -- A SOUNDFILE object hold the important properties that are necessary to play the sound file, e.g. its file name, path, duration.
+  -- 
+  -- It can be created with the @{#SOUNDFILE.New}(*FileName*, *Path*, *Duration*) function:
+  -- 
+  --     local soundfile=SOUNDFILE:New("My Soundfile.ogg", "Sound File/", 3.5)
+  -- 
+  -- ## SRS
+  -- 
+  -- If sound files are supposed to be played via SRS, you need to use the @{#SOUNDFILE.SetPlayWithSRS}() function.
+  -- 
+  -- # Location/Path
+  -- 
+  -- ## DCS
+  -- 
+  -- DCS can only play sound files that are located inside the mission (.miz) file. In particular, DCS cannot make use of files that are stored on
+  -- your hard drive.
+  -- 
+  -- The default location where sound files are stored in DCS is the directory "l10n/DEFAULT/". This is where sound files are placed, if they are
+  -- added via the mission editor (TRIGGERS-->ACTIONS-->SOUND TO ALL). Note however, that sound files which are not added with a trigger command,
+  -- will be deleted each time the mission is saved! Therefore, this directory is not ideal to be used especially if many sound files are to
+  -- be included since for each file a trigger action needs to be created. Which is cumbersome, to say the least.
+  -- 
+  -- The recommended way is to create a new folder inside the mission (.miz) file (a miz file is essentially zip file and can be opened, e.g., with 7-Zip)
+  -- and to place the sound files in there. Sound files in these folders are not wiped out by DCS on the next save.

   -- # 0. Tactical Situations
-  -- 
+  --
   -- This chapters provides some insights in the tactical situations when certain Task Types are created.
   -- The Task Types are depending on the enemy positions that were detected, and the current location of friendly units.
-  -- 
+  --
   -- ![](..\Presentations\TASK_A2G_DISPATCHER\Dia3.JPG)
-  -- 
+  --
   -- In the demonstration mission [TAD-A2G-000 - AREAS - Detection test], 
   -- the tactical situation is a demonstration how the A2G detection works.
   -- This example will be taken further in the explanation in the following chapters.
-  -- 
+  --
   -- ![](..\Presentations\TASK_A2G_DISPATCHER\Dia4.JPG)
-  -- 
+  --
   -- The red coalition are the players, the blue coalition is the enemy.
-  -- 
+  --
   -- Red reconnaissance vehicles and airborne units are detecting the targets.
   -- We call this the RecceSet as explained above, which is a Set of Groups that
   -- have a group name starting with `Recce` (configured in the mission script).
-  -- 
+  --
   -- Red attack units are responsible for executing the mission for the command center.
   -- We call this the AttackSet, which is a Set of Groups with a group name starting with `Attack` (configured in the mission script).
   -- These units are setup in this demonstration mission to be ground vehicles and airplanes.
   -- For demonstration purposes, the attack airplane is stationed on the ground to explain
   -- the messages and the menus properly.
   -- Further test missions demonstrate the A2G task dispatcher from within air.
-  -- 
+  --
   -- Depending upon the detection results, the A2G dispatcher will create different tasks.
-  -- 
+  --
   -- # 0.1. SEAD Task
-  -- 
+  --
   -- A SEAD Task is dispatched when there are ground based Radar Emitters detected within an area.
-  -- 
+  --
   -- ![](..\Presentations\TASK_A2G_DISPATCHER\Dia9.JPG)
-  -- 
+  --
   --   - Once all Radar Emitting Units have been destroyed, the Task will convert into a BAI or CAS task!
   --   - A CAS and BAI task may be converted into a SEAD task, once a radar has been detected within the area!
-  -- 
+  --
   -- # 0.2. CAS Task
-  -- 
+  --
   -- A CAS Task is dispatched when there are no ground based Radar Emitters within the area, but there are friendly ground Units within 6 km from the enemy.
-  -- 
+  --
   -- ![](..\Presentations\TASK_A2G_DISPATCHER\Dia10.JPG)
-  -- 
+  --
   --   - After the detection of the CAS task, if the friendly Units are destroyed, the CAS task will convert into a BAI task!
   --   - Only ground Units are taken into account. Airborne units are ships are not considered friendlies that require Close Air Support.
-  -- 
+  --
   -- # 0.3. BAI Task
-  -- 
+  --
   -- A BAI Task is dispatched when there are no ground based Radar Emitters within the area, and there aren't friendly ground Units within 6 km from the enemy.
-  -- 
+  --
   -- ![](..\Presentations\TASK_A2G_DISPATCHER\Dia11.JPG)
   --
   --   - A BAI task may be converted into a CAS task if friendly Ground Units approach within 6 km range!
   --
   -- # 1. Player Experience
-  -- 
+  --
   -- The A2G dispatcher is residing under a @{CommandCenter}, which is orchestrating a @{Mission}.
   -- As a result, you'll find for DCS World missions that implement the A2G dispatcher a **Command Center Menu** and under this one or more **Mission Menus**.
-  -- 
+  --
   -- For example, if there are 2 Command Centers (CC).
   -- Each CC is controlling a couple of Missions, the Radio Menu Structure could look like this:
-  -- 
+  --

   -- ## 1.1. Mission Menu (Under the Command Center Menu)
-  -- 
+  --
   -- The Mission Menu controls the information of the mission, including the:
-  -- 
+  --
   --   - **Mission Briefing**: A briefing of the Mission in text, which will be shown as a message.
   --   - **Mark Task Locations**: A summary of each Task will be shown on the map as a marker.

   -- The Mark Task Locations Menu will mark the location indications of the Tasks on the map, if this intelligence is known by the Command Center.
   -- For A2G tasks this information will always be know, but it can be that for other tasks a location intelligence will be less relevant.
   -- Note that each Planned task and each Engaged task will be marked. Completed, Failed and Cancelled tasks are not marked.
   -- Depending on the task type, a summary information is shown to bring to the player the relevant information for situational awareness.
-  --

   --   - **Planned Tasks**: This report will list all the Tasks that are in status Planned, which are Tasks not assigned to any player, and are ready to be executed.
   --   - **Assigned Tasks**: This report will list all the Tasks that are in status Assigned, which are Tasks assigned to (a) player(s) and are currently executed.
   --   - **Successful Tasks**: This report will list all the Tasks that are in status Success, which are Tasks executed by (a) player(s) and are completed successfully.

 -- # The PROFILER Concept
--- 
+--
 -- Profile your lua code. This tells you, which functions are called very often and which consume most real time.
--- With this information you can optimize the perfomance of your code.
--- 
+-- With this information you can optimize the performance of your code.
+--
 -- # Prerequisites
--- 
--- The modules **os** and **lfs** need to be desanizied.
--- 
--- 
+--
+-- The modules **os** and **lfs** need to be de-sanitized.
+--
 -- # Start
--- 
+--
 -- The profiler can simply be started with the @{#PROFILER.Start}(*Delay, Duration*) function
--- 
+--
 --     PROFILER.Start()
---    
+--
 -- The optional parameter *Delay* can be used to delay the start by a certain amount of seconds and the optional parameter *Duration* can be used to
 -- stop the profiler after a certain amount of seconds.
--- 
+--
 -- # Stop
--- 
+--
 -- The profiler automatically stops when the mission ends. But it can be stopped any time with the @{#PROFILER.Stop}(*Delay*) function
--- 
+--
 --     PROFILER.Stop()
---    
+--
 -- The optional parameter *Delay* can be used to specify a delay after which the profiler is stopped.
--- 
+--
 -- When the profiler is stopped, the output is written to a file.
--- 
+--
 -- # Output
--- 
+--
 -- The profiler output is written to a file in your DCS home folder
--- 
+--
 --     X:\User\<Your User Name>\Saved Games\DCS OpenBeta\Logs
--- 
+--
 -- The default file name is "MooseProfiler.txt". If that file exists, the file name is "MooseProfiler-001.txt" etc.
--- 
+--
 -- ## Data
--- 
+--
 -- The data in the output file provides information on the functions that were called in the mission.
--- 
+--
 -- It will tell you how many times a function was called in total, how many times per second, how much time in total and the percentage of time.
--- 
+--
 -- If you only want output for functions that are called more than *X* times per second, you can set
--- 
+--
 --     PROFILER.ThreshCPS=1.5
--- 
+--
 -- With this setting, only functions which are called more than 1.5 times per second are displayed. The default setting is PROFILER.ThreshCPS=0.0 (no threshold).
--- 
+--
 -- Furthermore, you can limit the output for functions that consumed a certain amount of CPU time in total by
--- 
+--
 --     PROFILER.ThreshTtot=0.005
--- 
+--
 -- With this setting, which is also the default, only functions which in total used more than 5 milliseconds CPU time.

+--- **Utilities**  DCS Simple Text-To-Speech (STTS).
+--
+--
+-- @module Utils.STTS
+-- @image MOOSE.JPG
+
+--- [DCS Enum world](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_enum_world)
+-- @type STTS
+-- @field #string DIRECTORY Path of the SRS directory.
+
+--- Simple Text-To-Speech
+--
+-- Version 0.4 - Compatible with SRS version 1.9.6.0+
+--
+-- # DCS Modification Required
+--
+-- You will need to edit MissionScripting.lua in DCS World/Scripts/MissionScripting.lua and remove the sanitization.
+-- To do this remove all the code below the comment - the line starts "local function sanitizeModule(name)"
+-- Do this without DCS running to allow mission scripts to use os functions.
+--
+-- *You WILL HAVE TO REAPPLY AFTER EVERY DCS UPDATE*
+--
+-- # USAGE:
+--
+-- Add this script into the mission as a DO SCRIPT or DO SCRIPT FROM FILE to initialize it
+-- Make sure to edit the STTS.SRS_PORT and STTS.DIRECTORY to the correct values before adding to the mission.
+-- Then its as simple as calling the correct function in LUA as a DO SCRIPT or in your own scripts.
+--
+-- Example calls:
+--
+--     STTS.TextToSpeech("Hello DCS WORLD","251","AM","1.0","SRS",2)
+--
+-- Arguments in order are:
+--
+--  * Message to say, make sure not to use a newline (\n) !
+--  * Frequency in MHz
+--  * Modulation - AM/FM
+--  * Volume - 1.0 max, 0.5 half
+--  * Name of the transmitter - ATC, RockFM etc
+--  * Coalition - 0 spectator, 1 red 2 blue
+--  * OPTIONAL - Vec3 Point i.e Unit.getByName("A UNIT"):getPoint() - needs Vec3 for Height! OR null if not needed
+--  * OPTIONAL - Speed -10 to +10
+--  * OPTIONAL - Gender male, female or neuter
+--  * OPTIONAL - Culture - en-US, en-GB etc
+--  * OPTIONAL - Voice - a specific voice by name. Run DCS-SR-ExternalAudio.exe with --help to get the ones you can use on the command line
+--  * OPTIONAL - Google TTS - Switch to Google Text To Speech - Requires STTS.GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS path and Google project setup correctly
+--
+--
+-- ## Example
+--
+-- This example will say the words "Hello DCS WORLD" on 251 MHz AM at maximum volume with a client called SRS and to the Blue coalition only
+--
+--     STTS.TextToSpeech("Hello DCS WORLD","251","AM","1.0","SRS",2,null,-5,"male","en-GB")
+--
+-- ## Example
+--
+-- This example will say the words "Hello DCS WORLD" on 251 MHz AM at maximum volume with a client called SRS and to the Blue coalition only centered on the position of the Unit called "A UNIT"
+--
+--     STTS.TextToSpeech("Hello DCS WORLD","251","AM","1.0","SRS",2,Unit.getByName("A UNIT"):getPoint(),-5,"male","en-GB")
+--
+-- Arguments in order are:
+--
+--  * FULL path to the MP3 OR OGG to play
+--  * Frequency in MHz - to use multiple separate with a comma - Number of frequencies MUST match number of Modulations
+--  * Modulation - AM/FM - to use multiple
+--  * Volume - 1.0 max, 0.5 half
+--  * Name of the transmitter - ATC, RockFM etc
+--  * Coalition - 0 spectator, 1 red 2 blue
+--
+-- ## Example
