RWR and AI planes?

So when I'm flying around in my hornet, I get no RWR sounds or notifications other than maybe an occasional beep. The other day I switch views to my wingman and use Alt+J to jump into his hornet (he had some bombs I wanted to use). In his jet he gets all sort of sounds and RWR notifications both on the RWR screen and on his HUD. Am I not getting what I should or is the AI just getting a cheater version of RWR? Oddly enough I couldn't pickle his bombs so the whole jumping into his jet was moot.

Have you turned it on? The button is behind the stick just under the MPCD. Also once it is on you need to box HUD on the EW page of the DDI or MPCD, whichever you are using for the EW page. This will show RWR contacts on the HUD.

Yes that was it. I'm an idiot. Just needed to push the button on under the MPCD. I thought it was one of those not implemented yet sort of things. Not sure why it isn't on by default when doing a hot start.
