dresoccer4 Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 I'm simply wanting a couple jets to escort another jet along it's route and defend it if necessary. I was looking for an "escort" or "defend" task type but only see 'strafing', 'orbit', 'follow', and 'aerobatics'. How can you get a flight to escort and defend another flight? In additional, how can you change the engage distance? I don't want the escort planes to fly 100 miles away to defend their escortee. Thanks for the help.

Solution razo+r Posted June 17, 2024 Solution Posted June 17, 2024 You have to set the task of the group to "Escort" and then you have the option to assign the enroute task "escort" to the group. Page 237 in the DCS User manual:

Page 237 in the DCS User manual: ah that's what I was missing. I didn't know the different main tasks actually changed what sort of subtasks you are allowed to enable. i'll try this out Acer Predator Triton 700 || i7-7700HQ || 512GB SSD || 32GB RAM || GTX1080 Max-Q || FFB II and Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle || All DCS Modules
