Ignored by AI option?

[Lace]

Is it possible to force the AI enemy to ignore a friendly unit without making it invisible?  For example, in an NTTR training scenario I want the REDFOR to engage the BLUEFOR fighters but not engage the BLUEFOR AWACS or tankers.  Is this possible? I'm aware of the 'ONLY DESIGNATED' parameter but would like something more bulletproof ideally.

Yes. Be sure REDFOR has CAP as main task, but delete "CAP -a" on the first Wpt (SP) and replace by "enroute tasks" to attack all aircraft groups you want them to attack. They will ignore others. (example attached : 4 mig29s engage 2 hornets and ignore the tanker between them)

the 'ONLY DESIGNATED' parameter in fact means "only targets defined in main task" (no longer visible as a list of targets like before). For "SEAD" main task it means only air defenses, for "CAP" only aircraft. It's not related to target your are designating yourself.

Understood.  I'll give that a try, thanks.
