Route mode
When in Route mode, the data in the lower half of the Group Properties Menu is in
regards to waypoint management. Waypoints are arbitrary points on the map (Lat,
Long, and altitude) that can be chained together to create a flight route. During the
course of a mission, the group will fly from one waypoint to the next along the route line
and at each waypoint you can assign unique characteristics.
To place a new aircraft group, you will need to be in the Route mode and have an
aircraft selected. You may then left click on the map to place the groups starting point,
which will also be waypoint 1. When you place a group, its waypoint marker (circle with
its waypoint number next to it) and route line will be colored appropriately:
White - Selected unit.
Red - A Red side unit that is not selected.
Blue - A Blue side unit that is not selected.
At the starting waypoint, there will be a unit icon instead of a standard waypoint circle.
Different icons denote different types of units:
Aircraft Editor Icons (Russian/Western)
