Capn kamikaze Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 Would it be possible to have the option of setting up multiple sets of waypoints for a single aircraft, so that depending on user flags or other conditions, entirely different paths and objectives could be switched to if certain conditions are met?
Northstar98 Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 +++ Would absolutely love a feature like this, especially if also applied to ground vehicles and maybe perhaps ships. Another similar thing would be the ability to have control over the waypoints of individual units in a group, which would be very useful for ground vehicles and ships when changing formations.

Jarlerus Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 If you need AI units to do things depending on switches, make 2 groups and activate/spawn only one of them, depending on switches/triggers. Same result. Jarl at YouTube DCS Service Span and Wishlist Spreadsheet Forum post for discussion of above spreadsheet Retro Electro Playlist on Spotify
Weta43 Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 Or try (these are spatially arranged as 2 paths). WP1, WP2, WP3, WP4, WP5, WP6, WP7 on each branch WP after WP2 and WP5 have tasks set After takeoff Flight flies to WP1 Flag 1 = true, change waypoint to WP5 if it's not, when they get to WP4 send them home after completing their mission. Cheers.
MikeMikeJuliet Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 This could be coupled with the request to be able to modify aircraft waypoints during a mission when parked on the ground. Both would add a lot to multiplayer and Co-Op v AI missions. Regards, MikeMikeJuliet DCS Finland | SF squadron
Capn kamikaze Posted May 14, 2018 Author Posted May 14, 2018 That is the way I do it at the moment Weta43, it's just cumbersome, it would be easier to be able to set a branch point that leads to another set of waypoints that you actually map out in the ME if a specific thing takes place, eg a shootdown occurs in a trigger zone so a CAP gets tasked to be a RESCAP over that area.
