Waypoints Types

- Waypoints 1–3: Set directly in the mission editor.
- Home Base: Set to the landing waypoint.
- All others: Set by naming Navigation Target Points as below:
| Waypoint | Name |
|---|---|
| Fix Point | FP |
| Initial Point | IP |
| Surface Target | ST |
| Defended Point | DP |
| Hostile Area | HA |
| Datalink Waypoint 1–3 | DLWP1, DLWP2, DLWP3 |
| Datalink Surface Target | DLST |
| Datalink Fixed Point | DLFP |
