AstroEma Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 HI all, I have been trying to figure out how to send target position over datalink in an MP mission created by a friend, and playing on his server. We can see each other's helos on the Abris, but the datalink seems broken. We have configured it correctly using different channels and Com/wingman but still he is not receiving target info. Is there anything that needs to be done in the mission creation? I think we are part of the same group as well. Thanks! E.

St3v3f Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 If you can see him it'll work. First store target in own system: Lock target Press target type button Press send mem Then select target and send to wingman: Reset targeting system (Backspace) Press target type button until it blinks in Abris Press wingman number Press send mem aka: Baron [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAF [136] Striker Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I'm pretty sure that you have to be in the same group (ex. Enfield 1) for it to work but someone else can confirm this. Now that the builder is set up to do groups in client multiples they all share or inherit the wayoint info from the lead along with the data link info.

BodyOrgan Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 You only have to be on the same datalink frequency. By default this is 124.000. St3v3f describes the correct procedure for storing and sending. To receive simply select send mem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew that you had to be on the same frequency but I didn't know that it would work with anyone. So technically you can have as many Ka-50's in the mission and as long as 4 at a time share the same VHF AM frequency they can data link. Correct?

Yes, I've switched my frequency on the 104th a couple of times to avoid being in the same group as others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuiGon Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I'm pretty sure that you have to be in the same group (ex. Enfield 1) for it to work but someone else can confirm this. Now that the builder is set up to do groups in client multiples they all share or inherit the wayoint info from the lead along with the data link info. Then there would have been no DL at all in MP, because DCS doesn't allow multiple players in the same group (at least that was the case in the past).

I said I understood now. ED just added the multiple clients allowed in the same group in 1.5. Before you had to create separate flights for clients with copied waypoints but the group/flight numbers were reversed.

dburne Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 From me how learn datalink is this video best :thumbup: Thanks for that, looks like will be a good reference for using the DataLink. After about a 3 month sabbatical from DCS due to a move, I need to brush up on those procedures. I had just learned the basics prior to the move, and need a good refresher.

-Blackjack-1606688543 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Targeting reset not required Some time ago I found out a complete reset (Backspace) is not necessary to select and send target to wingmen, just turn of the laser and you can cycle through targets on ABRIS as well (maybe a bug or a feature ? :music_whistling:) Much quicker operation in combat as you can continue targeting other ground targets faster instead of slewing again and again.

St3v3f Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Have to try that. I know that putting the Shkval into scan mode works too. But either way, if someone is just getting into using the datalink it's better to keep it simple and tell him to turn it off aka: Baron [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
