This public video on MIDS/JTIDS/Link 16 is particularly informative about the sensor information sharing capacity of the network: Particularly the section beginning at 10:30 describes the capacity for aircraft in the network to transmit their combat state and sensor data to the AWACS which is then forwarded to other aircraft in the network. Sources for the video are given at the end, including BAE systems (manufacturer of MIDS terminals)

I haven't bought P-51D or Combined Arms, do I need to in order to use the modules? Or can I continue skipping the activation?

Ok, So I'm not totally understanding the system ED has got going here pertaining to the whole copyright protection/DCS World thing. I bought DCS A-10C and I would simply like to play a coop server, but it seems 75% of servers that I attempt to join crash me back to the DCS World main screen or whatever. I click join, it downloads the mission file and it loads. After it loads the first time it glitches up and seems like it's trying to show me a map but it's blended with the loading screen then it tries to load again and crashes. What's up? At first I thought it's because I don't have all the modules, so I went and download the CA, FC3, and P-51D modules, installed them (except for FC3, for some reason unbeknownst to me, perhaps copyright protection, it requires a previous version of Lock On), and ran DCS World. I click multiplayer and it asks me for the keys for my new modules and of course I don't have any so I just click exit until the activation screens go away and the game starts. Then, like I said, I try to join a server and BAM "DCS.exe has stopped working." Really curious.
