ADD AIR CORRIDOR (AIRPORT)
The Mission Object menu’s Add Air Corridor menu is only available for land-based airport objects.
This feature allows you to add an air corridor attached to an airport.This option is different from
the Editor menu’s Add>Add Air Corridor option which adds independent flight paths that traverse
the mission area.The Add Air Corridor feature is also available on the third page of the Object
Properties Panel options for an airport.
To add an air corridor:
1. Right-click an airport’s object icon to activate the Mission Object menu and select Add Air
Corridor.
2. Click in the direction that you want the corridor to run. One end of the air corridor is anchored to
the airport and the other end automatically extends to the edge of the Mission map in the direction
you click.
3. To select an air corridor that is attached to an airport, you must click the large white rectangles
appearing at the edge the corridor’s path at the edge of the map.You may have to zoom the
map all the way out until the entire region is visible before you can access the corridor’s
selection point.When the corridor is selected the white lines turn red. For details on customizing
an air corridor, see Mission Editor/Object Properties Panel/Air Corridor Properties, on p.179.
FLIGHT SCHEDULE
In Sub Command you can set the state of readiness for enemy and allied aircraft embarked on
ships and at airports.Aircraft are controlled by the AI but what you set here determines how
quickly ASW planes and helicopters respond to submarines detected by AI controlled ships.The
default readiness state for all aircraft is thirty minutes.You have the option to schedule some
aircraft in either an Alert 5 condition (aircraft is available to launch in five minutes), Alert 15
(aircraft is available to launch in fifteen minutes), or Alert 30 (aircraft is available to launch in thirty
minutes). For some ships with embarked aircraft there is only one runway or landing pad available.
Therefore only one aircraft is allowed to be in an Alert 5 readiness state.Aircraft carriers have
multiple airstrips from which to launch aircraft so they permit more than one aircraft to be in Alert
5 condition.You are not able to place more than the allowed number of aircraft in an Alert 5
condition.You may place up to 24 aircraft in Alert 15 and Alert 30 condition.
To access the Flight Schedule:
1. Right-click the object icon for an airport or ship with embarked aircraft to display the Mission
Object menu.
2. Select FLIGHT SCHEDULE to display the Flight Schedule dialog box.
3. Select the radio buttons for the desired alert condition (5, 15, or 30) for each individual aircraft.
4. Change the Flight Schedule for other aircraft types by selecting them in the list box at the top of
the Flight Schedule box.
NOTE: The Flight Schedule menu item is only available if a ship or airport has aircraft assigned to it.
