ED [DCS USER MANUAL]
Targeting actions will begin when friendly units arrive in the area and establish
communication with the AFAC.
Note: the FAC: Assign Group Task assumes full situational awareness for the AFAC. The
target's location will always be known and the AFAC will always attempt prosecute the
attack if conditions permit, even when the target has not been independently detected
by the AFAC.
The FAC will only provide targeting against the group designated as the target in the
mission editor and will not target other groups.
The FAC- Assign Group Task allows you to set the weapon type(s) for the FAC to
request from the attacking groups, as well as the designation method (auto, smoke
marker ("Willy Pete", WP), IR-pointer or Laser. You can also set whether the AFAC will
be equipped with datalink capability.
