Automatic Actions
An air group's task setting (CAS, Intercept, etc.) does not affect its behavior in-game,
but only serves to filter the available actions in the Advanced Actions Panel.
To allow users to build missions without involving themselves with the Advanced Actions
Panel, an initial action is automatically generated for the air group at the initial waypoint.
This action appears as a repeater of the group task, however in this case it does
determine the groups behavior in-game. Any automatic action includes the "-a" attribute
in the actions list. This action is automatically repeated as a reference with a "-ref"
attribute at all other route waypoints.
If the group task is changed after creation, the automatic actions are automatically
changed accordingly. The group task actions can also be added manually using the
Advanced Actions Panel.
The following group tasks generate automatic actions of the same type: "AWACS",
"Refuleing", "CAS", "CAP", "Fighter Sweep", "SEAD" and "Anti-ship". In all cases other
then "AWACS" and "Refueling", the automatic actions are in fact Enroute Tasks to
