My squadron recently had a combat flight where we had no AWACS. F/F datalink was briefed for this contingency, and we all went onto a common datalink frequency. Though, the tomcats of Panther 1 flight, and Panther 2 flight(my flight) were unable to communicate. Addresses for the Jester tomcats were stuck on their preset wingman number, and the reply switch remained in CANC.
So, I have some requests.
1. ability to edit datalink addresses in the Jester datalink menu
2. add the reply switch NORM function to jester's list of F/F datalink procedure
3. add the ability for tomcats to communicate with other tomcats outside of their own flight.
If you would like to test this to prove me wrong, you can hop on a multiplayer server with a friend. Both select 2 different aircraft in 2 different flights. Then, set F/F datalink to the same frequency.
