ED [DCS USER MANUAL]
If the user unlocks the ETA for either WP1 or WP4, the route will no longer be valid,
because the mission editor will not have a time reference for calculating the desired
speeds for WP2 and WP3. When a route is invalid, the speed and ETA checkboxes
become framed in red to indicate an error and a corresponding message appears when
the user attempts to close the Group Properties Menu or save the mission.
In order to unlock both the speed and ETA of a waypoint, at least one preceding and
subsequent waypoint must have a locked ETA!
Example 2
User locks:
Group start time (Т 1 ), i.e. ETA for WP1;
Speed (V 1 - V 4 ) for each waypoint;
In this case, the user doesn't control the ETAs for any waypoints after the initial
waypoint, but wants to ensure the group maintains a desired speed along the route. The
mission editor automatically calculates the ETAs for WP2, WP3, WP4 based on the
known range and locked desired speed of the waypoints:
