I came across this helpful explanation from Naryv today:
Code:
Action values - AiAirWayPointType.NORMFLY // default
NORMFLY, // normal flight to a given point
TAKEOFF, // takeoff
LANDING, // landing
GATTACK_TARG, // ground target (ie, a ground stationary/ground actor - in FMB you need to click "set target" and then select the target ground object with the cursor that is displayed)
GATTACK_POINT, // ground, region (ie, a given point on the ground, point is given as a Point3d with the point's coordinates - in FMB the point is indicated by the location you put the ground attack waypoint - the attack target point will be the ground directly below that icon point)
AATTACK_BOMBERS, // bomber attack
AATTACK_FIGHTERS, // attack fighters
HUNTING, // free hunting
FOLLOW, // following a friendly group
ESCORT, // escort another group
COVER, // cover for friendly ground vehicles
RECON, // reconnaissance
Target value of type AiActor ;
GAttackType values AiAirWayPointGAttackType.AUTO; //default, ground attack type is
AUTO, // automatic selection
LEVEL, // As for example in high altitude bombing
DIVE, // dive bomb, ie as Stukas do
TOP_MAST, // top mast attack (ie, skip bombing, coming in very low, level, and fast, and commonly use for example to target ships)
SHALLOW_DIVE // shallow dive attack
GAttackPasses values AiAirWayPointGAttackPasses.AUTO; //default , number of visits
AUTO, // automatic selection
_1, // 1
_2, // 2
_3, // 3
_4, // 4
ALL_OUT // until the ammo is used up or the target is destroyed
P, Speed - coordinates and speed in m/s
This is specifically for setting the AiAirWayPointType and other values when scripting, but also explains some of the other values that you can set via FMB, that might be a bit obscure.
FYI I can't see any difference in using different GAttackPasses values - but perhaps I am not using them with the correct aircraft.
Just for example - the Ju-87/Stuka dive bombs beautifully but I can't get any other aircraft in the sim to dive bomb at all. So some settings might be specific to some aircraft.
