steelrfan85 Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 SA Is the datalink and SA primarily for multiplayer?
Oceandar Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Is the datalink and SA primarily for multiplayer?I don't think it is. I believe it'd work better in sp because AFAIK you can get more donor links from FC AI such as F-15 and F-16 but not in MP with human F-15 Mastering others is strength.

Shadow KT Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Which I still do not understand why is it that way ? 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days

Svend_Dellepude Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Maybe F-15 D/L is the eagerly awaited feature...? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, i5 6600K, Geforce 980 GTX Ti, 32 GB Ram, Samsung EVO SSD.
SFJackBauer Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Which I still do not understand why is it that way ? This is just pure speculation on my part. The AI aircraft share a common abstract implementation regarding to their sensor and radar functionality. Therefore the integration of that with the F/A-18C datalink is feasible. However when a human is piloting an F-15C, the data to be data-linked refer to what the human pilot is actually seeing on his cockpit, which can change due to the way he is operating his radar (elevation, azimuth, TWS vs RWS etc). Therefore it would be necessary a overhaul of the F-15C radar code on FC3, which is not something ED has plans to do. AGAIN this is speculation on my part.

Emmy Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Any chance there will be C2 Hub capability where one agency shares data across multiple platforms? That would put A-10s in the mix to some degree, right?

DeathAngel1 Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Can MIDS/Link16 or SA page provide any information for enemy ground target`s location? ..:NAVY PILOTS ARE THE THE BEST PILOTS:..
SkipperSMG Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Can MIDS/Link16 or SA page provide any information for enemy ground target`s location? Not yet, but in the future. However not directly but in the form of Target waypoints or current position of targeting sensors if i got it right. i5-2400 | 16GB Corsair XMS3 | MSI GTX 970 4GB | 500GB Samsung 850 Evo | TrackIR 5 | TM Warthog | Saitek Rudder Pedals | Windows 10 64 bit [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
backspace340 Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Can MIDS/Link16 or SA page provide any information for enemy ground target`s location? Looks like there'll be two ways - one is your wingmen sharing their TGTs so you can see where they're looking and the other is with the SAM threat rings which will show you where enemy SAMs are.
bonesvf103 Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) In Wags' SA/DL video at around 13:20 he is able to soft lock a target (what he calls "manual designate") even though it is still in RWS. How do you do that? I thought that was only something you can do in TWS? Also, is there already a key bind for depressing the Sensor Control Switch? v6, boNes Edited February 27, 2019 by bonesvf103 "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

I thought that was only something you can do in TWS? AFAIK, he gets the (underlying) RWS brick track info by moving the radar cursor over the brick - I thought what he was doing was LTWS but seems LTWS, etc. has more features and what we see is a partial implementation - perhaps needed for IFF. Edit: I'm wrong, wag's says 'manual designate' in the video - I've no idea what that means in terms of LTWS/TWS ?

Tholozor Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 The RCS might be too small for it to show up, and even if it did, the update rate of C2 data is probably slow enough that it wouldn't matter.

Edit: I'm wrong, wag's says 'manual designate' in the video - I've no idea what that means in terms of LTWS/TWS ? Think you've misunderstood what Wags is saying - you can see part of (unfinished) LTWS working in the video, before he clicks SS Depress to manually IFF you can see the track appear on the RWS screen for the target under his TDC (along with the missile launch cues). It's just not finished yet apparently - it didn't seem to be working consistently anyway when he was over other bricks. LTWS lets you designate two targets (L&S, DT2) to see their trackfiles (the things showing altitude, speed and direction of travel that we've only got in STT currently in-game) and then view the trackfile for a third by putting your TDC over a contact (it's this last bit that was shown in the video and which is why Wags didn't need to radar designate for it to appear). TWS differs as it would automatically display up to 8 prioritised track files and you can cycle through them in priority order (so you could just press the undesignate/NWS button to soft-lock '1', then press it again to switch to '2' etc etc). TWS comes with a big scan volume penalty though.
Svend_Dellepude Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 The only missiles i've seen picked up on radar are russian ARM's and cruise missiles. The 120 can engage AA missiles if you maddog it, but thats a different story. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, i5 6600K, Geforce 980 GTX Ti, 32 GB Ram, Samsung EVO SSD.

backspace340 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 My biggest question now is: Can we share information about ground targets through data links? Wags mentioned that in the video - you'll be able to see what your wingman have as their WPDSG using TXDSG, this is when he mentions it:
