Are we sure this uses nodes to navigate? I just decompiled ep2_outland_08 and I don't see any air nodes. All I see are path_tracks. --Lancelot

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. --Mattshu 09:29, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
