Anyone?

I think that is correct. I fly with it off and I do see variations in AI skill levels.

The debrief doesn't seem to grade the finer aspects of a routine mission like loiter time. It will say "Good Show" or something similar when EA have been shot down by your squadron during the mission.

Rookie v veteran - if you use autopilot, then it will fly as either a veteran or a rookie (AI skill). Also, a veteran pilot will usually get the pick of the better craft available to a squadron (rank being equal).

Hi Lanzfeld,
Rookie vs Veteran sets the experience/skill level of your new pilot.
As an example, you may find as a Rookie, that you are not given the latest aircraft type to fly. Once you prove yourself, you may be given newer aircraft and/or promoted etc. It does not affect how you actually fly/control your aircraft - that's still down to your personal skills.

Enhanced AI (Artificial Intelligence)- this enhances the experience/skill level of the other 'game controlled' aircrew and makes your missions outcome more unpredictable.

The FAQ under the Help link on the OBD site gives a lot of information:

Okay many many thank yous

I thought I did read the FAQ but I am pretty sure these specific questions are not in there.....unless I missed them .

Lots of info to gather

Do you have a link to the documentation about the enhanced AI setting?
Looking for documentation on all the workshop settings.

Actually the rookie/vet option when creating your pilot affects how the AI flies your aircraft on autopilot. It's your RANK that decides the aircraft you are given.

We are all veterans of 100s of missions in 100s on aircraft so to compensate, you can set rookie, and when on autopilot (when you need to answer the doorbell whatever) take the consequences of a rookie flying not you a super veteran.

No there is no documentation on it, it just boosts them - see you more kill you more etc. Leave that AI setting on default until you feel you need more of a challenge?
