With reference to the following bug report: TSD Point Rings - Bugs and Problems - ED Forums (dcs.world) If the bug of the TSD rings will be fixed, it would be good to check the behaviour when sending via datalink. As described above, the TG arrives but no rings are displayed even though they are set.

Can also confirm the bug, no more circles are displayed around your own created points. missing_rings.trk

Possible state bug when switching the radar ELEV between AUTO and MANUEL: - In AUTO mode, targets are detected and displayed. - After switching to MAN and changing the ELEV, FCR no longer finds any targets - Reset to AUTO -> Ping again -> No results - Change again to MANUEL -> ELEV remains the same as before -> Targets are recognized again. fcr_manual_range.trk

See last FCR-Video in the description: NOTE 3. We will add the FCR to the reloading pop-up.

When transferring target information via a data link, an error occurs in the distance circles of the created target points. Settings: TSD -> ATK phase THRT DISPLAY -> THREATS & TARGETS COORD SHOW -> ENEMY UNITS As an example, an S6 is created in the TSD, the creator displays both the red and yellow circle as well as the symbol correctly. This TG is now sent to another Apache via POINT-XMIT. This receives it and also sees it as a declared S6, but the two circles are not displayed. The error is generated in the same way if the other Apache also generates such a TG and this is subsequently sent to . Trackfiles: datalink_bug_cpg.trkdatalink_bug_pilot.trk

I have noticed a strange behavior when refueling with the full auxiliary tank Tank. As soon as it is equipped and flown empty, only 410lb instead of 660lb are refueled. To have a full auxiliary tank again, you have to deselect it in the armament menu and re-equip it, then it has its full capacity of 660lb again. ah64_aft_bug.trk

Why don't we need it?

Thank you for your detailed explanation @Gunslinger52 & @FalcoGer, everything has now worked with the Datalink.

We were recently able to use the Lima in flight against ground targets without any problems, but noticed that our TG points were slightly different from the CPG to the pilot TSD display. I created a TG on a building using a SAT card in the TSD. My CPG also saw the TG, but not on the building, but to the left of it. To me it looks like with CPG and Pilot we have two separate INS systems communicating with each other and then with Desyncs we have this discrepancy.

Thank you for your explanations, we will try to set up a datalink via FM2 this evening.

We know, we have also tried to solve the problem using the TSD settings but without success. We haven't been able to reproduce it yet, but we definitely had the same problem as Mivina.

I tried the ATT mode yesterday and also noticed that the correction did not bring any improvement.

We also recently had the case that the pilot did not see the CAQ of the CPG.

Bug is still present in DCS 2.9

Question, it is possible to use the datalink only on VHF SC? We tried today to use a preset on FM2 SC, here we always got a XMIT NAK FM2... after switching back to VHF it worked without problems. Edit: .miz-file where i tryed to make a datalink work over FM2. datalink_test.miz

One question is this bug reported or not? Could it be reproduced in the trackfiles? I can provide more trackfiles if needed, that's no problem at all. It would be nice if in 2.9 this could be fixed.

We almost always have the phenomenon that the cargo sometimes sways back and forth too much when we fly in MP with separate machines and carry cargo. It just looks weird, but it's never been a problem before. But in this case, when we fly in multicrew and attach cargo, it is absolutely stable for the pilot, but for the co-pilot it is a rocking and wobbling phenomenon. This also causes it to bang at some point in flight and the whole ménagerie falls out of the sky....

The picture I posted is directly from the DCS website, still available and with cargo hooks. But you are right, the CMs have been removed...

Ok, that sounds like a plan, then we won't have to work with the track file. I'm looking forward to the update.

Absolutely, an expansion of sling-load capabilities should be a MUST for the Chinook. At least you should be able to transport a howitzer with 2 hooks properly, as it can be seen in many videos. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/316912-variable-use-of-the-3-load-hooks/#comment-5128791

However, the big difficulty here is that the INS drift occurs only after a long flight time (for me and my cpg) and thus a "short track" is almost impossible to create, this should be taken into account. We will try to create a track file where the error is traceable, but I think it will be very long. If this is not possible because the track is not usable in its size/length, then we need a strategy how to track the bug.
