Hi everybody,
I am new to DCS and DCS Mission Editor and I want to apologyse if someone already anserwed this question but I didn't find what I was looking for.
So the question is the following : I would like to create a simple mission with a plane (doesn't matter which) taking-off (doesn't matter where) for a CAP mission. The flight plan would be just 3 WPT (0 (airbase), 1 and 2 (turning points)) and I would like that the plane loops on WPT1 <-> WPT2 for a given duration (let's say 15 mn for the discussion) before RTB.
I tried this but I was unsucessfull to achieve this simple scenario.
First I just setup the discussed Flight Plan with the default CAP enroute task. As the manual mation :
I thought they would loop WPT1, 2 automatically BUT in fact they flew through WPT1 and WPT2 and then RTB to land.
Then I validated the starting task condition to 100% and the stopping condition to 15mn duration but this didn't changed anything.
Finally I was able to make them looping WPT1 <-> WP2 by adding a command option at WPT2 (switch to WPT1) but they still ignore the duration condition whatever I did :(
I have noticed the "Last Waypoint" option in the stopping condition but didn't find something about it in the documentation (edit : got it p150 of the manual). I tried this as well but it didn't change anything.
What did I do wrong ? what did I miss ?
I have also a question about the dotted line flight path that show when we run a mission in map mode and click on a flight (it's path is displayed with the waypoints as circle symbols). I have noticed that sometime when the plane pass the WPT it is erased and the plane is linked to the next one. Sometime it isn't... What does this mean (erased / not erased) ?
Looking forward for help,
Thanks
