All missions will have at least the following waypoints:
- **HOLD**: this will be the waypoint at which the flight will orbit or loiter with all the other flights of the package until the entire package is assembled. In the DCS game itself, The kneeboard flight plan publishes the departure time, i.e. the time we leave the HOLD waypoint and start heading toward the JOIN waypoint.
- **JOIN**: this is the waypoint where the entire package coalesces into a formation and pushes toward the INGRESS point.
- **INGRESS**: this is the final point from which we push off into chute toward the target.
- **TARGET**: this is the package objective
- **EGRESS**
- **SPLIT**

We can adjust the route to our liking by clicking and dragging the pins.
We can adjust the route of *any* flight, not just the player-assigned ones.
Liberation will automatically calculate the timings of each waypoint to meet the fragged TOT (Time on Target) for each flight.
## Flying the Mission
Note that we are able to zoom into the Liberation map quite a bit, giving us a nice idea of the terrain features.
We can edit the routes of the flights, ours or AI, to exploit terrain features to provide concealment from SAMs, enemy radars, AAA, etc.

## Taking Off!
Now we are all ready to fly the mission inside DCS with our fellow human and AI pilots!
- Before anything else, let us save the game in its current state so that we can always return to it if needed.
- We click on the "Take Off" button in the upper right, and Liberation will generate a mission for us.
Liberation will create a file called "``liberation_nextturn.miz``" in our DCS saved missions directory (typically "``C:/Users/<Name>/Saved Games/DCS/Missions``").
Liberation then shows us window, indicating that it is now waiting for use to run and complete the mission in DCS.
