Zyll Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I realize the HOTAS has a MIDS A and MIDS B mapped, but what are these going to do exactly? Are they another pair of radios for talking to aircraft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 MIDS is Multi-function Information Distribution System, a Link-16 standard datalink. MIDS A/B are the encrypted anti-jam digital voice communication channels provided on the MIDS network by the MIDS radio. It’s doubtful they’ll have a function in DCS, until/unless ED develop an integrated voice comms system. Perhaps SRS will use them on some way, but that’s still to be seen.

Tom Kazansky Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 MIDS = WOW!!!! see Wags' Hornet-mini-update video here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=194412 with this information I would love to have a seat in an DCS AWACS plane just as a fighter controler and designator! :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathAngel1 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 So what kind of information we will be abble to share with MIDS/Link16? And is link16 last version link, which is in active use now? ..:NAVY PILOTS ARE THE THE BEST PILOTS:.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaglewings Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) So what kind of information we will be abble to share with MIDS/Link16? And is link16 last version link, which is in active use now?I am thinking ground targets coordinates from Awacs. Maybe others info but ground target of opportunity from Awacs represented on the SA page seems very plausible. We will see as this fantastic system in the Hornet gets more robust.

DeathAngel1 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Ground target coords will be great, but we dont have MGRS coords implemented on Hornet still. So how that will be working? ..:NAVY PILOTS ARE THE THE BEST PILOTS:.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe others info but ground target of opportunity from Awacs represented on the SA page seems very plausible. We will see as this fantastic system in the Hornet gets more robust. I think that would be kinda unrealistic since AWACS as I know them don‘t care about ground targets. They don‘t have any sensors to detect and locate ground targets simply because that is not their mission. That is what JSTARS was developed for. It more likely will be other (attack) aircraft that will share ground targets with you one day. I am thinking of the A-10C, maybe the Harrrier too and hopefully other 4th gen AI jets F-15Es , F-16Cs...and of course another F/A-18C as well.

Zeagle Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 We need an E8 JSTARS badly. A multi-player crew capable AWACS wouldn't be too bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Dragon Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) until/unless ED develop an integrated voice comms system ED has working on a VIOP system. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3668166&postcount=15142 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3735513&postcount=178 In addition to this new Server software, the team has also been at work developing an integrated Voice Over IP (VOIP) system for DCS World which is based on the growing Web RTC standard. The first phase will allow users to use and create “rooms” and the second phase would integrate the VOIP into in-cockpit radio controls.
