Cato Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Now that the F-18 has TXDSG functionality, can or will the A-10 be able to share SPI's over datalink? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to post Share on other sites
Bunny Clark Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I don't think do. The Hornet and Viper transmit designations over Link16, while the Hog uses SADL. The two can interconnect through a node but I don't think designation points translate. I could be wrong though.

Emmy Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 The Hog 2 can see both A2A and A2G SPIs from AI-flown friendly jets but not human-flown. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.476vfightergroup.com/content.php High Quality Aviation Photography For Personal Enjoyment And Editorial Use. www.crosswindimages.com Link to post Share on other sites
NobleNoisiii Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Hi me and my friend were wondering you can do some sort of datalink between the A10 and F18 and I can't find any other forms or people asking this question. Link to post Share on other sites
The_Tau Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Hmm isn't the whole point of AWACS to make sure that all planes USAF, USN, NATO coalition have same datalink data? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Tau's Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj394JJ64Ql9d7YKTro0nKA Link to post Share on other sites
corvus5624 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Well, I agree but AWACS can also be useful without a datalink, just by using voice comms. I think AWACS started out like that, just voice, but correct me if I'm wrong about that. I would be interested to know if current A-10s do have the same datalink as the USAF/USN. Btw, I'm playing The Enemy Within campaign right now and I do see the F-16s on my TAD, so that at least is working (I'm playing with the A-10C II). Link to post Share on other sites
icemaker Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 The A-10C has a L16/TALD link but in DCS the link is effective with AI but only with some pliots in MP. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Easy Monitor Configurator My A-10C Cockpit Link to post Share on other sites
