Differentiating Multiple Broadcasted SPI’s

[Fakum]

Found myself in an interesting situation one night, multiple A-10s in the target area and not all were on TS. I was communicating with a few and one advised he was broadcasting his SPI. I turned to the TAD and found quite a few wedding cakes. I did not know which one was his? I rolled my curser over his plane, expecting to see a line from his plane to his SPI, and there was none. I cycled through the Hook OSB but no favorable results. I need to get the fundamental procedure to accomplish this. Also, what would make the difference between a wedding cake showing up vs a red triangle? Thanks,

You should see a line from plane to wedding cake for everyone in your net group that is broadcasting. So I assume you were not in the same group or had double IDs within the group or something.

 

Regarding the triangle that has nothing to do with broadcasting SPI but is a target assignment via data link. You can lock something up (aim at it with TGP and make it your SPI) then move your courser over the plane on your TAD you wanna send it to and then hit "send". He is gonna get a triangle and can comply, deny or just acknowledge and then hook up that triangle and make it his SPI.

 

Another way would be sending or telling the coordinates and your wingmen create mark/waypoints according to those but the previous 2 methods are way more efficient.

Related question: if you've received a target designation, is there a way to delete it after the target is destroyed?

I would also like to know that :thumbup:

Also interesting how to delete a mark point.

Hook Target Assignment and clear then press OSB07 (CNC). Believe CNC stands for CaNCel.

 

Mark point cannot be deleted. I think there can only be 25 mark points and once you have reached the end you wil start overwritting the first.

I saw this CNC red label but it appears after you click Wilco with green color. I try to search cnc in manual but didn't find any thing.

Yes you are right it is written in manual. Mark point z is the last targeted point. But it would be nice you could delete a mark point. Some time i made mark point accidentally

[Hansolo]

True I can't find the CNC described anywhere. Think I found it in a YT torturial. I seem to recall that CNC also shows up if you press CNTCO, for cannot comply.

 

The deletion of mark point can IIRC be done in real world A-10C in a later suite than moddeled in DCS. I suggest you give your mark point names when not by accident, e.g. AAA1, AAA2. It also makes it easier later on if you make a new flight plan to plan you ingress using multiple JDAM's.

Is it possible to see the response for Target Assignments (SADL Tasking)

 

... He is gonna get a triangle and can comply, deny or just acknowledge and then hook up that triangle and make it his SPI.

 

I'd like to ask if there's a way for the sender plane (FAC or JTAC role) to see the choice, either WILCO - accept or CNTCO - decline somewhere.

Pretty sure that in real life as a matter of procedure if they're using mark points for an attack they make them into waypoints and name them appropriately.
