Flanker datalink bug

[Frostie]

This is a long term bug that from what I understand has never been acknowledged.

 

For a long time now clients have been able to be added into the same flight as other clients or put into any position of the flight through the ME. In single player the player will get shared datalink info with the AI Su27 or Su33 in his flight but in multiplayer this feature has never worked.

When 2 or more clients share a flight set up in the Mission Editor the datalink info should be shared between the clients.

 

In a 4 ship with 1 player and 3 AI the player gets the shared datalink info, but if you add another client into that flight so as to have 2 clients and 2 AI the 2nd client will not receive any info from the rest of the flight and the 1st client will not see the 2nd client on DL either.

We need it to counter those new JHMCS with AIM-9Xs, it would also help battling the Phoenix
