ED [DCS USER MANUAL]
Race-Track pattern
An Orbit Task will be stopped by the AI automatically upon reaching Bingo fuel state,
when the AI only has enough fuel to return to base (RTB).
The Task can also be stopped using the Stop Conditions Panel by setting one or more
stop conditions for the task.
The Orbit Task allows the mission designer to create scenarios for the AI group to hold
off on proceeding with the route until certain conditions are met. These can include a
radio command from the player scripted through the Triggers Menu, the destruction of
an enemy unit, such as a SAM threat, or the presence of particular units inside a
designated zone. Any actions anticipated for the group after entering an orbit station
should be added in the actions list below the Orbit Task.

This task creates an Airborne Forward Air Controller (AFAC) to direct friendly aircraft
onto a target group designated by the mission designer. Applicable to:
Group Type(s): fixed wing and helicopter groups in BLUE coalition only;
Group Task(s): "AFAC".
