ED [DCS USER MANUAL]
Cargo (commercial) ship
To shift the entire group's position on the map, click and drag the group's lead unit to
the desired location. To adjust the position of other units within the group, click and
drag the desired unit relative to the leader's position.
Below the Modal buttons are the Route controls. From top to bottom:
WAYPNT (waypoints). The WAYPNT fields allow you to cycle between waypoints you
have created. The left field displays the currently selected waypoint and you can cycle it
by pressing the left and right arrow buttons. The field on the right displays the total
number of waypoints in the route. The circle and waypoint number of the selected
waypoint is colored yellow on the map.
NAME. For each waypoint you can assign a unique name. Enter the name of the
waypoint in this field and this name will then appear next to the waypoint on the map.
TYPE. Each waypoint can be assigned a type of action that the group will perform when
it reaches the waypoint. These include:
Turning Point. This is the most common and basic waypoint and the group will
simply pass through such a waypoint and proceed to the next.
ALTITUDE. Not adjustable for naval groups.
SPEED. The speed setting will set the speed in kilometers per hour (km/h) that the ship
group will have achieved when it reaches the waypoint. To set this, you can either use
the left and right arrow buttons or enter it into the field. The group's maximum speed
will not exceed the maximum speed of the slowest ship in the group.
SPEED LOCK CHECKBOX. Selects between manual and automatic entry of the desired
speed for the waypoint. Not applicable to a starting waypoint.
If the speed is locked, the group will attempt to maintain the desired speed on the route
leg from the preceding waypoint to the current one. More information.
