Waypoints. This menu allows you to toggle the waypoints for each of the four
flights on and off.
Exit. The “X” in the upper right corner closes the mission planner.
Function Buttons
Each of these five buttons activates a different planning function: Briefing,
Tasking, Arming, Profiler, Rehearse.
Briefing. This button displays a (text) mission briefing. Briefing information
includes general situation reports for friendly and enemy forces, specific objec-
tives for each ATO (Air Tasking Order — in general, each task to be performed
during the course of the mission), and a weather report. Click on the section
headings in the left panel to view each section.
Tasking. This button allows you to assign helicopters and crew to each flight.
Left-click on the colored text fields to change tasking options.
The
Inventories box, at the top of the Tasking screen, displays the number of each
type of helicopter available at each FARP, and the number of each type of
weapon available for loadout (minus what is currently loaded).
Below the inventories are assignment boxes. Click on the helicopter type to dis-
play a list of available aircraft, and on the pilot and CPG boxes to display a list of
available personnel.
Note: In single-player games, you must assign yourself as the pilot of a lead air-
craft.
In multi-player games, each flight must have a player lead pilot for each player
wingman pilot, and each aircraft must have a player pilot for each player CP/G,
before exiting the mission planner.
