Navigating RUTA and accessing campaign missions

[Horns]

I'm struggling to understand how to patrol an area set as "RUTA". I had thought when I was in master mode SPA the navigation would lead me from one corner point to another, but neither the course index on the outer ring of the CI nor the HUD navigation direct me to RUTA corner points. The radar does display the RUTA corner points but it's difficult to use that alone because I can only see one corner point at a time that way, so when I reach one corner and turn I'm not confident I've found the correct line to get to the next corner point.

 

Any help with the above would be very welcome. However...

 

Is there a way to access the individual missions of the Caucasus mini-campaign? If the recon problems above prevent me completing mission 1 I'd still like to use the other missions because I've done the single missions to death!

 

Thanks for reading, help would be appreciated.

My understanding is that you do not explicitly fly along/over the corner points. The corner point just mark the general area in which you perform your reconnaissance. Which search pattern you fly is totally up to you. So it is correct, that no steering commands are given whilst you are in SPA mode.
