Tips and Tricks

Functions "Reject latest way-point" or "Reject All Way-points"

These options work badly if you leave your mouse on the map zone. Put the mouse pointer on the neutral zone (to the left of the map).

Automatic escorts

For a quick programming of plane missions, think : Automatic escorts ! Their way-points will be instantly drawn.

Saves and Mainenances

It is strongly recommended to perform a save of database just before downloading a mission and just after. An incident during communications between the console DCS and the SQL server could makes big coherence problems in your database.

Reinforcement Missions :

If this option was not disabled in DCS, these can be used by the human pilots. The planes of reinforcement have normally one only way-point up to their destination, but the human pilots will be able to change this mission plan. An another way to do it is to program these planes by a "off-map" mission. In this case, they will stay on the reinforcement point until human pilots take them. It is A good means to do a planes reserve without mobilizing them (if they are not piloted by an human).
