:Nodes (whether ground or air) are used as reference points that NPC's use to know where likely spots would be to travel to. If there weren't any nodes, the NPC would just travel straight to you, because you're the only reference point. The path_track is a dedicated highway for the helicopter to travel. No nodes are needed because the developer knew what the helicopter was supposed to do. --[[User:Mattshu|Mattshu]] 09:29, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
