GAI Mission Directive

[Daiwilletti]

Someone recently asked what the "GAI" stands for as a mission directive. I've always wondered this myself. By chance I came across the answer in a thread at Sim-HQ: it stands for "ground -to-air-intercept".

Now for the less clear part: I suspect GAI is a defunct directive, along with Convoy_raid, (both of which come from CFS2)??. The reason I think this is that all the functional mission directives are reflected in the brieftxt.xml (IIRC).

If anyone can shed some light on this that would be great.

All I (think I) know is that GAI flights is a term that I have seen in one or two places in material on WoFF and WotR; can be turned off in settings; and in those sims anyway, represents AI aircraft which will 'scramble' from airfields in response to an approaching threat.

That was me - thanks for finding the solution!
If 33lima is right and this mission directive is used in WOFF and WOTR, then it shouldn't be so defunct as you think. It sounds like an ideal directive for the BoB (although considering the original setting of CFS3, it's more likely to be used for a scramble during Operation Bodenplatte).
