Working with WPs
WPs determine where a FG begins the mission, which direction it is facing at the start of the mission, and its flight path. X-ED's Map is designed to make setting these WPs as easy as possible by linking them visually and providing some additional information.

..

A FG's enabled WPs are shown linked as follows:
Waypoints
There is a solid line in IFF color from the FG's Start 1 position to its WP 1. (Start points 2 and 3 will be unlinked dots.) This will indicate the direction a ship will be facing at the start of  the mission (as shown by its wireframe.) 

WPs 1 to 3 are joined by a dotted line in IFF color.

A  white dashed line will join the last enabled WP to the Hyperspace point.

 
  Show WPs
These buttons will show all enabled WPs for All craft or just the Current craft. Release both buttons to hide WPs.
