AI aircraft wait in a holding pattern when ICLS is deactivated.

[Hogeo]

I would like the specifications to be changed so that AI aircraft with LAND tasks will only start approaching the carrier when the ICLS of the carrier they are trying to land on is active, and if it is deactivated, they will wait in a holding pattern.

As I recall, this was possible in a certain version that existed in the past. I remember being happy at the time that "Now recovery operations can be performed only when the carrier is heading upwind."

If you try to implement this function, you need to be careful in case II/III.
Because if you set a LAND task on an AI aircraft while the carrier is sailing downwind, the marshal holding will be set behind the carrier, that is, in the upwind direction, in the current implementation.

I imagine that in cyclic ops, when the carrier is sailing downwind, the marshal holding will be set 21 nautical miles downwind from the start of the upwind leg of the carrier's cyclic orbit, as shown in the attached diagram.

After that, when the carrier begins to sail upwind, the marshal holding fix will likely follow the carrier as usual and be set to a position 21 nautical miles behind from the carrier.

(If my idea is wrong, I would be grateful if someone who knows could tell me the correct way to operate it.)

However, this cannot be achieved without the implementation of cyclic ops.

Therefore, in order to deal with this with minimal changes, I think it would be a good idea to make it possible to specify the coordinates indicating the start point of the upwind leg of cyclic ops as an option for the LAND task, and then set the marshal holding fix from that coordinate to 21 nautical miles in the 180 degree radial direction of the BRC in Case II, and 21 nautical miles in the direction of the wind in Case III.
