Pikey Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Hello everyone! I saw that flight members are given an extra icon. One thing that I'm wondering is based on some limitations in Multiplayer, namely that we don't generally use Client slots in the same flight which is due to limitations of certain api's in scripting to present menus, messages and sounds to group only level, not clients. This means all Clients are in their own groups... or "flights", a pretty typical setup for Multiplayer servers. Also generally speaking, flights are not used in Multiplayer random public servers So i'm wondering if there is any way to "construct" a flight on the fly and how MIDS 'knows' what the flight is made from, who is leader, etc. A-10C SADL groups are defined by a channel iirc. Any similarities to that available? ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING *
gekoiq Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Also curious about this, being able to construct your 'flight' some way other than groups in the ME seems like an important feature. 1
Wolve03 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Well, the datalink is handled in the Ka-50 by allowing the pilot to select their status (leader / wingman) and their number (ID) [1-4]. Yes, conflicts can exist, and we need to use separate channels but I think something similar could be used for the F/A-18C as well. Perhaps not in the cockpit (apart from freq) but in ME or on the join menu?
CheeseCake Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) i believe correct me if i am wrong just just set the same freq for the D/L in wags vid he had it at 127 so say 128 and it should be in a different flight When thinking about this I believe what I said was incorrect what you probably have to do is go to the MIDS sup page and create a flight in there Edited February 28, 2019 by CheeseCake
riboyster Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Did this become functional today? Just updated and no joy. -SnakeShit [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Peace through Superior Firepower EVERYTHING YOU'LL EVER NEED FOR LOMAC: http://flankertraining.com/ironhand/news.html
Ramsay Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Did this become functional today? Just updated and no joy.

Pikey Posted March 3, 2019 Author Posted March 3, 2019 So has anyone actually managed to create a "flight" artificially from the MIDS panel or otherwise? Elsewise I don't think we will every be able to use the flight functionality on servers because we won't be in flights and the admins will not do this because of the aforementioned restrictions on messaging, menus and sounds. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING *

They have to be setup as flights in the mission. Then the datalink automatically sets the ship letters in the SA page. Max is 4, A-D Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk http://104thphoenix.com/
BarTzi Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 Forgive me for bumping such an old thread, but since the manual states that: "The option select window of AIC, F/F1, and F/F2 will have no function", does that mean that we will not be able to create a flight from aircrafts that are not grouped together in the mission editor?
maths314 Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 I think what would make most sense is to have an option for mission makers to choose whether players can frag their own packages, but that would require at least some basic DTC implementation. Similar to what a certain F-16 simulator does it.
Arctander Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Forgive me for bumping such an old thread, but since the manual states that: "The option select window of AIC, F/F1, and F/F2 will have no function", does that mean that we will not be able to create a flight from aircrafts that are not grouped together in the mission editor? That would hopefully just be a WIP. If I understood correctly watching the Viper Datalink video - the ability exists for that plane. I would very very much be hoping that ED will be coming back around on the Hornet Datalink and enabling that. The ability to set a flight identity would indeed be very useful.... 1
QuiGon Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 I also was under the impression that such a feature, where we can manage flight members within the cockpit, exists in the Hornet (similar to the Viper or the Warthog) and it will be implemented in our DCS Hornet eventually. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
BarTzi Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 It might have it in real life. ED did a good job detailing in the manual itself which features are yet to be completed. They did go over datalink in the manual and chose to write that this functionality will not be available, and not that it will be available later in EA. This is why I'm asking. Also - I'm not sure the Viper has this capability in DCS (Wags did not demonstrate this in his video). We will have to wait for the update to drop.

I thought they said otherwise in some forum post. :huh: Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

BarTzi Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Everything is subject to change! :thumbup: I don't think they ever changed it. They wrote it won't be functional, which is why I'm asking, just to make sure.
