Mission Location and AMSNLOC DCS World Mission Editing
Last updated: May 16, 2025

Missions that don’t have a specified target will have the AMSNLOC line in the air tasking order. In order to show this line you need to identify the mission location in the DCS mission editor. This is possible by using the task editor in the waypoints. You simply need to create a new waypoint action for the waypoint and create an orbit that can have a name and a duration time. This is valid for all the missions that have no targets, like CAP, CAS, SEAD, AWACS, tankers etc. In the case you create a Race-Track orbit, the waypoint action must be on the first of the orbit waypoints.
