dresoccer4 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 hi guys - been banging my head against the wall for a while about this. i have a custom mission set up with an AWACS flying around and several friendlies and bogeys. however none of them are showing up on my SA page. i'm looking in Chuck's guide and it doesn't say how to get it to work, just that it should. what steps do i need to take to get the AWACS picture on my SA page?

bart Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Have you pressed the D/L key on the UFC and selected ON to turn the data link on? First thing that springs to my mind anyway. But if it's mission planner related I can't say as I have zero experience using it.

feefifofum Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Yup. Don't use your left DDI for the SA page. ;) If memory serves I read this is an irritating "feature" from the actual aircraft. The caution & advisories clutter the area. You can press master caution twice to restack them but I believe things will still be obscured. I believe the intent is for use of SA/HSI on the AMPCD.

Harker Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Correct, the intent is to have the SA page on the AMPCD. That way, you can also display the moving map. The Advisories line will blank the left DDI, whether there are advisories to display or not. I remember some people saying that it was a bug and that the line should go away if no advisory is present, but I don't know if it's actually considered a bug or not right now.

dorianR666 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 but I don't know if it's actually considered a bug or not right now. it was accepted as a bug but nobody touched it so far the advisory line is supposed to disappear when there are no advisories, as proved by multiple real hornet photos and real hornet pilots comments.
