Request: Add ILS/Localiser/Radio/TACAN/NDB stuff to DCS Scripting Engine API for all Maps/Runways/Airways

[TEMPEST.114]

We can't get access to this data from the scripting engine because it's outside in other files. 

Yet the game 'does' know about it all. 

It just needs exposing to the lua scripting engine. 

Thanks

You can access the Beacons.lua, Radio.lua, etc.

dofile(string.format("./Mods/terrains/%s/Radio.lua", env.mission.theatre)) -- makes the "radio" table available
if radio then
  for _, r in ipairs(radio) do
    -- do stuff like: r.frequency.UHF[2]
  end
end

Wait, doesn't that mean I have to de-sanitise DCS to get access to dofile?

Indeed it does. It will need the usage of require.

--_G['require'] = nil

Thank you for your help, but then my point still stands. We shouldn't have to do that to get access to this data.
