- **Objectives**: Displays a list of special commands related to each of the mission's objectives. Be aware that some objectives may have no special commands associated with them.
- **Smoke marker on target**: Asks for a friendly JTAC to pop a smoke marker on the target. Makes finding the target easier, but will cost you a small XP penalty. Only available for missions where a JTAC is available (it's pretty hard to throw a smoke grenade at an airplane or a ship in the middle of the sea).
- **Navigation**: Displays a list of commands related to navigational assistance.
+ - **Navigation to nearest airbase**: Displays the coordinates of the nearest friendly airbase, its BRA ("fly X for Y") relative to the player's position and an estimated flight time and ETA.
- **Navigation to objective [OBJECTIVE NAME]**: Displays the coordinates of the objective, its BRA ("fly X for Y") relative to the player's position and an estimated flight time and ETA. Some objectives types (e.g. strike missions) are provided with exact coordinates, but most will only have approximate coordiantes, so you'll have to search for targets yourself once in the objective area.
+ - **Weather update**: Displays information about the weather (wind speed, temperature...) at the player location.
- **Flight**: Displays a list of commands for your wingmen. Only shown in single-player missions and if wingmen are available for this mission.
- **Cover me!**: Tasks your wingmen to immediately engage any nearby air threats.
- **Engage**: Tasks your wingmen to engage a certain type of targets. Targets must be detected by your wingmen (see "Report contacts" below), or they won't be able to engage them.
