Agree nice effort - could have bene a bit slower as I am 56 !!!. Many thanks for your help though.

I am also 56 so made copious use of the pause, rewind and replay function whilst watching ( though to be fair some of this was due to Mrs Devoncop insisting on pointing out numerous "interesting" features of the next door neighbours garden re design when I was trying to watch) 🙄

Me too except my wife wants me to go out and help with the horses...( 2 of which are mine) I also paused many times but what I did find useful was opening the game at the same time and followed what Cap did - quite a lot is now falling into place - you are in Devon I assume?

Now in rural Northumberland but did my police service in Devon and London.

It is a fine game.

There are some good youtube video that go into the air system for WitW. Since WitE is based off of WItW a lot of the concepts apply.

For me watching the youtube videos then playing some smaller scenarios in WItW got me going. It takes time and effort and it will take some playing around, but after a while it becomes intuitive. There are changes in WitE and for now I'm focusing on other areas, but in time I'm sure we're going to see tutorials on youtube regarding specific aspects of the game including the air.

Watched this and the way you went through manually setting up the air directives was really really useful and has now made me much keener on setting directives manually from the Luftlotte level.

Thank you Capn Gown ......

The only downside was you left us hanging at the end of the video not seeing you execute them :-)

Episode 2 is now out wherein I set up air directives for Luftflotte 2.

Thank you very much sir. I learned a lot watching it and after that I was able to rebase manually and set up air directives on my own. Fantastic!

I will say on first blush booting it up for the first time, the Set AI DIrectives and Execute Air Directives commands which are super obvious in WITW are really hidden in WITE2

Thanks for these, C&G. Really have helped me a lot. This stuff is not at all intuitive unless one has a fair bit of experience with the more recent Grigsby games.
