MAP INFORMATION:
-Spawning airports for both sides have bonfires showing the taxi directions and electrical
lights lightning the runway (except Po2 airport). The electrical lights will automatically
shutdown when no allied plane is in a 10km range from them, and start when they will spot
allied planes approaching.
-All across the map there are searchlights that will automatically start searching for planes
when you are in their range. On targets the searchlights will search only for enemy planes,
while on the other parts of the front can randomly trigger and start pointing also to allied
planes (without firing at them) to acknowledge who is flying over them.
-Night navigation is made easier thanks to an extensive radio beacon system: not only they
guide you across the map, but if you click with your mouse over the black arrows on the
map they will show you route and ETA at the given speed

AXIS RADIO BEACONS:
-To simulate the fighter radar guide we put a big number of radar stations across the map
over the frontline, the targets and the bigger cities (we tried not to exceed with their
number to avoid a saturation of pop up messages in the technical chat).
-To simulate also the long range radar capability, these radars work for both factions on
both the side of the front. Sadly due to the editor limitations they will only say how many
planes are passing over them and when they are passing, and no altitude or direction will
be shown.
-Note on radio comms/SRS: even though we are interested and willing to implement SRS
radio on our server in the long term, for this test there will be still no SRS; we encourage
coordination in general but for this night we are testing the map dinamics also for random
players, so squadron are asked to choose freely their own the mission profile / target and
decide if having a basic coordination on in-game chat or not as they wish.
