Endless ATC changes
Bug fixes:
Fix for the Alt key sometimes getting stuck after Alt-Tabbing.
Fix for key bindings sometimes not saving after changing them.
Adjustments:
All localizer ranges are extended by 2 miles, so the default range is now 25 miles from touchdown, similar to most runways in real life. It makes controlling slightly easier during busy hours.
The separation alarm will be inhibited when selecting the affected plane, even if that plane was already selected.
In the runways menu, the 'virtual score' setting no longer affects traffic rates of secondary airports. It only activates more runways.
Expanded the translations file.
Minor changes to handoff readbacks.
For custom airports:
Added 'localizer_range' and 'glideslope_range' properties to runways, allowing airport creators to change to the default usable ILS ranges per runway.
Background text and labels are now also shown when 'Bgtext' setting is at 'limited'.
Planes obey speed restrictions on routes even after giving speed instructions, so planes behave like they did before version 5.8.
Departures can be handed off near the boundary when the selected altitude is higher than the 'diversionaltitude'. Before, planes needed to climb above the ceiling (so to the 'above' altitude) before handoffs were possible. Now, departures can leave the airspace while flying level. When using departure routes, there's also the option to override the default 'above' altitude, allowing for level handoffs at lower altitudes.
The traffic now resets by a short press on the custom airport button, and a long press shows airport details.
The 'speedrestriction' property is split into 'speed_near_airport' and 'speed_below_altitude' for more clarity. 'Zoom' is renamed to 'defaultzoom' to allow for more zoom-out. Old files are unaffected.
