August 19th-25th Changelog

AI ATC Updates:

XPLANE: Bug fixed that was mis-detecting engine type on some third-party aircraft, which could lead to ten million strange things happening.. including getting taxied to GA parking.. or not getting proper descent instructions.
TAXI ARROWS: The "progressive taxi" arrows are now a 3D object that have some height... let us know if this fixes the issues at airports where they sit just beneath the surface and can't be seen
TAXI ARROWS: This is now a request-only feature, even if you're in student pilot mode. If you want taxi arrows, just say: "request progressive taxi..." or "request taxi arrows"
TourTuner: Bug fixed that was preventing flight plans from being downloaded properly.
Frequencies: Fixed bug where airports with overlapping frequencies (e.g. Ground is the same as Tower) would prevent you from talking to one of the two.

(All) changes to general behavior to avoid announcements being repeated (this will not catch all, but a couple of them)
(All) more "freedom" for phrasing the announcements, sometimes dependent to the airline or the country the airline is registered in
(All) Duty-Free replaced by Board-Shop
(All) the announcement for a special article was removed
Georgina became self aware, Alejandro a little bit more happy and both sell a special article on their flights :)
(All) when reaching cruising altitude the Cabin crew now announces that duty-free-goods are available and picks a random item that has a reduced price.

POI Provider has been changed to something that I hope provides better and more relevant nearby things!
