* | * radio transmitter beacons can be placed with the model tool inside 3D space, models placed with the UFO tool will use a separate tree to avoid conflicts with other types of models (weather, etc). In the future it will be possible to define and change properties for multiple beacons from the same panel instrument. | ||
