ED [DCS USER MANUAL]
The Search Then Engage Enroute Task can be used to create scenarios where the air
group maintains a holding pattern and leaves it to attack discovered enemy units within
the limitations set by the task properties. To do this, create the Search Then Engage
Enroute Task in the actions list after the Orbit Task.
Search Then Engage in Zone
Same as the Search Then Engage Enroute Task, but with an added restriction of a userdefined
target area. The target area is a circular zone the user can place anywhere on
the map and adjust the radius. Applicable to:
Group Type(s): aircraft and helicopter groups;
Group Task(s): all group tasks, except "Fighter Sweep" and "Intercept".
The target area can be placed on the map using the left mouse button. A dashed line
connect the center of the target area (triangle marker) with the action waypoint.
Target Panel
ZONE RADIUS. This field is used to enter the radius of the target area in nautical
miles.
PRIORITY. This number is used to set the action priority in relation to other actions of
the waypoint. The priority number represents the order this action will take relative to
other actions, starting with '0' as the highest priority.
