Multi Role of CAP-CAS Follow\Escort - Then rejoin

[RepoMan]

Hello out there. I'm new to mission building :book:. Once I opened mission editor I became addicted. First, let me apologize if this has been discussed before. There have been times when I needed CAP quickly exactly where I was at. Then switch them to perform other tasks for patrolling the skies What if I needed them again? I wanted the ability to call them back. I have attached a mission for beginners like myself that are interested in this idea to show how I did that.

 

Edit: Since finding the DCS manual and reading the mission editor section; I came here to delete this post. I also i discovered there is an easier way to do it in mission editor than my approach. Below is still the original. Now I am trying to figure out if air unit waypoint routes can be simplified and have the AI take over autonomously.thank you.

 

 

1. I have attached mission CAPUSH 7-2 if any of you would like to play around

with the on demand function of the CAP sent to your location (F10 Radio).

Dodge 3-1 (CAP\Escort) starts from the runway and comes to your location.

"F10" Radio command disembarks them from your formation and they perform

CAP through a looped command(perform command-waypoint switch)"F10"again

rejoins CAP 3. Secondary SEAD\CAP flights are summoned "F10" with an auto

15min follow time then they go on to their assigned route.

No other CAS flights in the airspace with the exception of an AH.

 

*I have tested "rejoin\follow" with simple

[action->taskpush=switchwaypoint -x->follow "CAS1.1"]

-CAP 3 was engaging an enemy flight. As soon as they finished

they rejoined from a considerable distance away.

 

*I added and have not tested...

[action->taskpush=switchwaypoint -x->CAP -x->SearchAndEngage -xfollow "CAS1.1"]

-I'm wondering if this will force the A.I. to immediately drop their

engagement and perform the "follow" command.
