manual AD's or auto?

RE: manual AD's or auto?
Everyone and no one. Each (non assigned to other AD) group under air HQ can fly this AD.
Edit: each eligible to fly (of particular type, in range, enough ammo/fuel, etc.)

RE: manual AD's or auto?
So there's no way to tell which aircraft aren't assigned, to give them another mission? Or is it just saying it will use 104 free aircraft - so I can assign the other 28 to a manual AD without interfering with the AI AD?
And, if so, what do these asterisk mean? (In relation to the manual quote above)?

RE: manual AD's or auto?
I'm not sure what you referring to other 28, but numbers you see in parenthesis (104) is current estimate if mission would fly into the center of the target box. It can be very different during execution.
If you assign another AD with the same priority they will be executed consequently and the same air group can take participate in there, providing it is still has enough mileage, ready planes, satisfying doctrine settings, etc.

asterisk is air group assigned to another air directive

These groups are assigned to other ADs.

RE: manual AD's or auto?
Yes, but manual says 2 asterisk mean assigned to this AD - (one = assigned to another AD) and none of the air groups have 2 asterisk?ORIGINAL: Baelfiin

I'm just trying to work out what free a/c there are from the AI ADs for me to assign my own ADs
RE: manual AD's or auto?
Yes, but manual says 2 askerisk mean assigned to this AD - and none of the air groups have 2 asterisk?
That's right. Since you didn't assign anything to this AD yet.

RE: manual AD's or auto?
Yes, but the computer has? 104 ac? why aren't they showing up?
edit - just to clarify...
manual says 1 asterisk means asigned to another AD - 2 asterisk assigned to this AD
I haven't assigned any a/c to any AD but some have 1 asterisk - so they are presumably assigned to another AD - that makes sense. Why do none of the a/c have 2 asterisk?
If it only works for manual AD, why do so many have 1 asterisk as I haven't assigned them?
This info is useful to me when browsing AI ADs to see if there are spare ac that I can assign to a manual AD.

They do show up with asterisks as I can see.
In case with Malta Air Command 104 are not assigned but available.

One question, did you change air hqs for the air groups recently?

No, but I understand one thing now - the 104 a/c aren't assigned to the AD - they're the free a/c that are available to be assigned. But I still don't get why some airgroups get 1 asterisk (showing they're assigned to an AD) if the ADs don't show which ac are assigned?
RE: manual AD's or auto?
I suggest you to upload a save to the support forum so we could provide better answer without much guessing.

Aren't they for the different commands? 104 are for Malta and * are with TAF groups.

Yes, that's a good example of what I don't understand... see screenshot
For TAF, the ac assigned to this mission show **
So why don't those on the air superiority mission with Malta show **?

Because they are not assigned.

For TAF, the ac assigned to this mission show **
TAF / GND SUPPORT. GROUP: 20 (141/113)
MALTA / SUPERIORITY. GROUP: AUTO (104)
The difference is that one (TAF) has some assigned and other (MALTA) don't.

Ok, so what's the difference between the computer AD on Malta that's raised an air superiority mission but not assigned any a/c and this TAF computer AD that's raised a mission and assigned a/c?
RE: manual AD's or auto?
Don't worry, I need to RTFM on what 'AUTO' means - appreciate you trying to help
RE: manual AD's or auto?
if you assign some air group to AD they got locked, and can't participate in any other mission. If you don't assign any it will pick from the pool of available. Assignment does reservation.

Banquet, when you're manually configuring an AD, you can click on the text that's after "GROUPS:". It'll bring up the manual air unit selection window where you can specify what you want. It has filters to let you know why certain squadrons can't fly in that particular AD. Page 29 in the player handbook covers this a bit.
