I'm trying to get datalink working (as in, contributed air contacts showing on radar scope and HSD). Forums and Grim Reapers tutorial no joy, can someone give me a clue?
Setup: Caucasus mission with air start player red JF-17 and numerous A-50s patrolling nearby. A-50s have "AWACS -a" in their first waypoint actions. Numerous blue F-14s, helicopters, and A-10s within 50 miles of A-50s at various altitudes.
On UFC, set COM2 to "199", "NES" and "MAST". Radio console on left is untouched ("TAKE" not on, mode "TR").
On HSD I see the RWR squares for radar emitting aircraft as normal, but nothing new.
Edit: I gave myself a computer wingman and it started working. At first I thought it was because the wingman added "EPLRS" to my waypoint actions, but when I tried with "EPLRS" and no wingman I don't see donated contacts anymore.
Edit 2: Online in 4YA Senaki mission I do see donated contacts with COMM2 NES, MAST, 199. It is working but I'm not sure why it did not work in the offline mission.
