Module Ops.FlightGroup
Ops - Enhanced Airborne Group.
Main Features:
- Monitor flight status of elements and/or the entire group
- Monitor fuel and ammo status
- Conveniently set radio freqencies, TACAN, ROE etc
- Order helos to land at specifc coordinates
- Dynamically add and remove waypoints
- Sophisticated task queueing system (know when DCS tasks start and end)
- Convenient checks when the group enters or leaves a zone
- Detection events for new, known and lost units
- Simple LASER and IR-pointer setup
- Compatible with AUFTRAG class
- Many additional events that the mission designer can hook into

The FLIGHTGROUP Concept
Events
This class introduces a lot of additional events that will be handy in many situations.
Certain events like landing, takeoff etc. are triggered for each element and also have a corresponding event when the whole group reaches this state.
Spawning
Parking
Taxiing
Takeoff
Airborne
Landed
Arrived
Dead
Fuel
Ammo
Detected Units
Check In Zone
Passing Waypoint
Tasking
The FLIGHTGROUP class significantly simplifies the monitoring of DCS tasks. Two types of tasks can be set
* **Scheduled Tasks**
* **Waypoint Tasks**
Scheduled Tasks
Waypoint Tasks

Here are some examples to show how things are done.
