DCS#Altitude PatrolFloorAltitude
The lowest altitude in meters where to execute the patrol.
DCS#Altitude PatrolCeilingAltitude

Return value:

When the AI is damaged beyond a certain threshold, it is required that the AI returns to the home base.
However, damage cannot be foreseen early on. Therefore, when the damage threshold is reached, the AI will return immediately to the home base (RTB). Note that for groups, the average damage of the complete group will be calculated. So, in a group of 4 airplanes, 2 lost and 2 with damage 0.2, the damage threshold will be 0.25.
Defined in:
Parameter:
#number PatrolDamageThreshold
The threshold in percentage (between 0 and 1) when the AI is considered to be damaged.
Return value:
self
Sets the disengage range, that when engaging a target beyond the specified range, the engagement will be cancelled and the plane will RTB.
Defined in:
Parameter:
#number DisengageRadius
The disengage range.
Return value:
self
When the AI is out of fuel, it is required that a new AI is started, before the old AI can return to the home base.
Therefore, with a parameter and a calculation of the distance to the home base, the fuel threshold is calculated. When the fuel threshold is reached, the AI will continue for a given time its patrol task in orbit, while a new AIControllable is targeted to the AI_AIR. Once the time is finished, the old AI will return to the base.
Defined in:
Parameters:
#number FuelThresholdPercentage
The threshold in percentage (between 0 and 1) when the AIControllable is considered to get out of fuel.
#number OutOfFuelOrbitTime
The amount of seconds the out of fuel AIControllable will orbit before returning to the base.
Return value:
self
Sets the home airbase.
Sets (modifies) the minimum and maximum RTB speed of the patrol.
Defined in:
Parameters:
DCS#Speed RTBMinSpeed
The minimum speed of the Wrapper.Controllable in km/h.
DCS#Speed RTBMaxSpeed
The maximum speed of the Wrapper.Controllable in km/h.
Return value:
self
Set the min and max factors on RTB speed.
Use this, if your planes are heading back to base too fast. Default values are 0.5 and 0.6. The RTB speed is calculated as the max speed of the unit multiplied by MinFactor (lower bracket) and multiplied by MaxFactor (upper bracket). A random value in this bracket is then applied in the waypoint routing generation.
Defined in:
Parameters:
#number MinFactor
Lower bracket factor. Defaults to 0.5.
#number MaxFactor
Upper bracket factor. Defaults to 0.6.
Return value:
self
Sets (modifies) the minimum and maximum speed of the patrol.
