After the attack waypoint was completed a landing waypoint is assigned. Did work pretty good to lead the air group to the target, however updating the waypoints interrupted the current task of the air group (they stopped attacking or crashed during takeoff).
b) I need to find out which waypoints were already passed by the air group. When I assign the updated waypoints I only assign waypoints that were not passed so far. I have so far no solution to find out which waypoints were passed. Triggers could be a solution or a smart algorithm that looks at the position and heading of the air group.
I will look at the issue in a couple of week as I'm currently busy with implementing the online support and moving frontline/ground war for IL2DCE.

In a similar vien, I was looking at how to get a badly damaged AI plane to abort it's waypoints & head straight for the nearest friendly airfield. I'm sick of the damaged AI's doing circuits waiting to land at their home base, and then flying off to never-land to crash on some hill somewhere.
