|tName= Follow Big Formation

|vNum= 1.5.4

|type= Main task

|for= Airplanes
|avail= Ground Attack

|desc= Advanced version of the [[DCS_task_follow|follow]] task. Primary difference is it can be used with the [[DCS_task_carpetBombing|Carpet Bombing]] task to allow large bomber formations to simultaneously bomb a given target. Within the mission editor this task also has tools for placing units in historic bomber formations.

This task is also labeled as "WW2: Big Formation" in the editor, but it is functional with any aircraft assigned the ground attack task.

|form= This task needs to be in the following format.

Follow = {
id = 'FollowBigFormation',
params = {
groupId = Group.ID,
pos = Vec3,
lastWptIndexFlag = boolean,
lastWptIndex = number
}
}

'''Required parameters''':

groupId: unique groupId.

pos: Vec3 point defining the relative position the controlled flight will form up on. For racetrack orbits, it is best to be back and to the right.

--Need to add more details on the xyz coords so people better understand the positioning.

'''Optional Parameters''':

lastWptIndexFlag : if true the AI will follow the group until it reaches a specified waypoint.

lastWptIndex : Identifies the waypoint at which the following group will stop its task.
|enum= N/A
|exam=

|notes= See article [[Mission Editor: AI Tasking]] for more information on how AI tasking is handled within DCS.
