Can not get the "New tasking" message in the TAD

[Fred00]

I can't seem to get the data sent to me from JTAC. I've run the "Smerch Hunt" mission and I contact JTAC and get the information but I always have to punch in the coordinates manually into the CDU to create a new waypoint. I looked at the Net settings and both own and group is set to 01. Shouldn't this work, or am I missing something?

You go through the complete tasking with answering the JTAC "ready to copy remarks" and read back the coordinates?

Im not sure on this but can you check the mission file via mission editor and make sure the "datalink" option is checked under advanced waypoint options

Thanks for the replies. I think shagrat is correct. After looking at a Youtube video it seems I have missed one step in the process and therefore don’t receive the data. I will test it tonight when the little ones have been put to sleep.
