Rework of radar modelization

2 modes:
- Global: all available radars make the total radar coverage as in LotAtc 1.X
- Monoradar (WIP): Each controller will have to choose the radar to use, it will get only contacts from this one (later coverage will be completed by datalink simulation)
Add RCS simulation: all items (planes, heliccopters, missiles…) will be computed and displayed if radar can see it using their RCS resolutaion and item own RCS
Add Radar resolution : if enabled, radar will not see items near each other, only one track could be made ( for example 3 aircrafts separated by 20m will be seen as only one contact)
Add spot/track management : radar will first see a spot with no data, then after a while (for example 6s, could be csutomized) if the spot is always there, a track will be made on it (and have data as speed, hedaing, symbol…)

All theses options can be enable/disable in profile lua file (see profile/custom.lua for more help).

Next is the same than 2.0.0-beta3:

Client

Add airport view, you can see aircraft on taxiways now (“airport view” button on airport properties dock)

Display aircrafts with top view symbol on airport even if not moved
Complete modelisation of airport with parking, taxiways labelised, currently status:
- Caucasus is fully available

- Nevada will come in later version

[Advanced] Add theme support: you can load/save theme and switch themes easily
Theme contains:

maps colors
layers colors/opacity
Symbology

Rework of radar modelization

2 modes:
- Global: all available radars make the total radar coverage as in LotAtc 1.X
- Monoradar (WIP): Each controller will have to choose the radar to use, it will get only contacts from this one (later coverage will be completed by datalink simulation)
Add RCS simulation: all items (planes, heliccopters, missiles…) will be computed and displayed if radar can see it using their RCS resolutaion and item own RCS
Add Radar resolution : if enabled, radar will not see items near each other, only one track could be made ( for example 3 aircrafts separated by 20m will be seen as only one contact)
Add spot/track management : radar will first see a spot with no data, then after a while (for example 6s, could be csutomized) if the spot is always there, a track will be made on it (and have data as speed, hedaing, symbol…)

All theses options can be enable/disable in profile lua file (see profile/custom.lua for more help).
