Is an "ORBIT HERE" command possible?

[beachav8r 360]

Just curious - how hard coded are the wingman commands? I'm using the excellent FORMATIONS.INI modification that allows me a little bit of flexibility with directing wingmen..but I was wondering if it would be possible to have an "ORBIT HERE" command? Actually, DCS has a great command system that allows you to send wingmen to a SPI, a steerpoint, the tanker, or orbit in your current location. For campaign missions where preserving resources might be a concern, it sure would be nice to park a wingman in a safe location for a bit...

 

Just wondering...

In a word, "no".

It is supposed to be possible to create an orbit waypoint in the mission editor (not sure if that even works), but you can't tell wingmen to orbit.

Then I will have to continue to send my wingmen after air defense targets. If they are going to get shot down - they might as well go during a noble endeavor!
