a10c, adding wingman to tad

[Preston]

i sometimes have trouble following my wingman sometimes in multiplayer. i am wondering if i can add my wingman to my tad like in singleplayer missions.

AI wingman or other player wingman?

 

If other player, if both of you have JTRS on and you have unique own and group IDs, you'l see each other. If you're in the same group ID, you'l see each other in purple.

Sure can!

Press the "NET" key in the bottom right corner of the TAD.

Make sure you and your wingman share the same GROUP ID, and have different OWN IDs.

You should then see your wingman on TAD as a purple circle with his OWN ID inside of it. You can slew your TAD cursor to your wingman, hook him with TMS up, and he will appear on your HUD as a broken box.

as stated here - use your UFC to enter the ID #s if i recall... see 4:15 in video below;

Yep, you can use either the UFC or input numbers directly into the CDU.
