There is one air base with aircraft under your control.
The suggested order of operations when creating and editing flightplans is to:
You can generate a flightplan, then choose an Attack Method. If you however generate a flightplan, edit it, then choose an Attack Method any changes you made (waypoints moved or added) will be undone when you click the "CREATE or UPDATE flightplans" button.
Attack Method are the routes aircraft will follow when engaging a target. Attack Method is one of the settings that can be defined on the Mission Editor window.
After selecting a new Attack Method, click the "CREATE or UPDATE flightplans". The modifications will then be reflected in the flightplan and are updated on both the map and the Flightplan Editor menu.
Please choose an Attack Method and create your flightplans before proceeding.
Flightplans can be modified from both the map and from the Flightplan Editor.
You can modify a Flightplan on the map by selecting a flight on the mission unit list and then dragging the desired waypoint to a new location on the map. Time on Target and Take-Off Times will automatically be recalculated based on the new course.
That concludes this tutorial. We will cover Advanced Flightplan Management in the next tutorial.
