I must be getting stupid in my old age

Can someone please post a mission with an example of this working so I can correctly understand?

Thank you!

Now I understand.

Maybe one of the TD members can chime in on this. I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended programming.

I wanted to Taxi an AI plane to a particular waypoint and then use the Delay setting to have it sit there for a set time before moving on to the next waypoint. In the screenshot, you can see that I have set a Delay of 2 minutes for the second waypoint. I also set the same Delay for the third waypoint.

However, the waypoint Delay setting for a taxiing plane seems to have no effect. Once a plane started rolling, it ignored the Delay setting at all subsequent waypoints.

So if it's not a bug, I was wondering why the Delay setting would be there if it has no function? (I understand the Delay setting in the INITIAL waypoint is there to command the plane/flight to start it's engine(s) and begin to taxi.)

I think its there just for the initial delay.
