JTAC Datalink Problem

I have added a Predator FAC to a 'Create Fast Mission'.

He doesn't show up on my TAD, although I can contact him by radio and he gives me a 9-Line. When he sends the datalink (red triangle) nothing happens. I have checked my Own ID 01 and Grp ID 01.

If I contact one of the ground based JTAC's I get normal datalink info on my TAD when he sends me the target details.

This was OK in 1.1.0.7 has anything changed in 1.1.0.8 maybe a setting I have missed :(

Datalink requires EPLRS. Predator drone doesn't support EPLRS - so no data is sent, the voice may indicate that you should have recieved data.

Instead, you can use Air-units like the F-16 or F-15 whic supports EPLRS, and they should send you datalinks.

If you check ground units - you'll see most of them also supports EPLRS.

That's interesting, has this just been implimented in 1.1.0.8 as I'm sure I had datalink transmission im previous versions.

As I don't have a clue what EPLRS is, I'll look it up in the manual.

Thanks for your help :thumbup:

I've just seen your answer in my other post on this subject.

Sorry for repeating the post :music_whistling:

I am using an armed ground unit with a good line of site to the target, but I am not seeing the red triangle in my TAD after I get my 9-line brief and enter my UTM coordinates. I am not getting the option in my TAD like Wilco to accept. Am I doing something wrong. I checked my ground JTAC and he has EPLRS set to true. Yes this is a MP mission and I checked my Grp ID and own Id are both set to 01 and I am the host.
