Setting Waypoints and assigning targets as Airboss


Recommended Posts

Posted

When playing as a pilot, it is possible to assign waypoints and targets to AI flights via the F10-Map. I'm not sure if this is a Combined Arms feature though.

As an airboss, I do not have those features. At least I didn't when I last checked. But it would be really cool - watching the planes take off, maybe even triggering the takeoffs as needed, and assigning targets to them and watch the fireworks.

Basically, unlocking the mentioned feature would be really cool. Even better would be anhanced options like ordering AI flights to circle or to RTB and to set their rules of engagement. All of this would make the Airboss station really enjoyable.

For there you have been, and there you will always long to return."

Yes, you can assign targets and limited waypoints as a pilot via F10 map, but it requires the Combined Arms module.

Ok, so I think it would be awesome so add this capability for the buyers of the Super carrier, too 

Air boss has nothing to do with aircraft waypoints or targets.

Neither does a pilot of another fighter plane usually direct other flights around. But here we are, having this function.

Just started with the mission editor, and i want to attack this wall on the normandy map.

How do you set up this spot for a precision bombing job with a ww2 plane? I could not find any ground attack waypoint, only fly over and landing types.

PS Youtube videos are for me a nono, as i am quite deaf.

Advanced waypoint options (just below the "add waypoint" button) - attack point or something like that.

The DCS 2020 user manual has more info if you need.
