Adam Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Hi, Sorry for such a noob question but this has been grating at me and I can't seem to figure it out. Sometimes when I'm in game I can see my wingmen on the SA page. There is a 'B' or a 'C' inside the circle so I know which planes are my group, and which ones aren't. Other times the SA only shows the circle, but no 'B' or 'C' symbol. There's obviously something I'm missing or not turning on but for the life of me I can't figure out what. Just wondering if someone can please advise how I get the 'B' and 'C' to show for my wingmen in the SA page please? Thanks Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squid509 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 it has to do with the mission editor when the guy that made the mission if all the jets are in the same group then they get a letter in the circle example if there is 1 group with 4 jets in it then every one gets a letter if there are 4 groups with only 1 jet in it no one gets a letter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been tearing my head out trying to figure out what I've been doing wrong. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squid509 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 as of now that is the only way to get the group assigned one of the DDI pages might let you set you group manually but that is not implemented yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swift. Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 That would be handy - will have to wait for it to come out. Thanks again! Don't think that's ever coming out. We will need to wait for AMU for that ability afaik. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBStu Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Is this also the reason why one mission doesn't have the enemy planes show up in the F10 map view like every other mission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harker Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Don't think that's ever coming out. We will need to wait for AMU for that ability afaik. I remember that Wags said they weren't going to fully model the datalink interface in detail, unfortunately. Normally, you can set up your network using the UFC D/L button and changing the different channels, as well as using the MIDS page, but AFAIK, none of the UFC options change anything (AIC, F/F1, F/F2, VOCA, VOCB) in DCS, save for VOCA and VOCB which can be used in SRS (pretty amazing, that). Also makes me wonder what exactly we are supposed to do with the MIDS page in DCS. I tried messing with the network time and date and nothing changed or got messed up on my datalink. Is this also the reason why one mission doesn't have the enemy planes show up in the F10 map view like every other mission? No that's up to the mission creator, they can implement different view settings for the F10 map, from nothing visible at all (even your own aircraft) all the way to every unit visible, from all coalitions. 1 The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs.

fagulha Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Is this also the reason why one mission doesn't have the enemy planes show up in the F10 map view like every other mission? In ME go to Customize on the top bar, select Mission Options, and set F10 View as you desire. Personally i use Allies Only and with Hidden Units, it gives another level to the missions. You must rely only in your instruments. Well, enjoy :) Best regards, F. - "Don't be John Wayne in the Break if you´re going to be Jerry Lewis on the Ball".
