+==== ATC-Transponder ====
+The transponder sends signals to air traffic control to identify the aircraft on the radar screens. A unique four digit code is given to each aircraft that is in the airspace of the controller. This is called the Squawk code or just transponder code.
+To enter a code you can either set up control clickspots with the message ''Communication.TransponderDigit'' to enter one digit after the other (like in the default Cessna 172), or ''Communication.TransponderCode'' to directly change one of the digits (like in the default Baron 58)
