Data Link ???

[ThePutzer]

I loaded up an old Nevada mission, added Hornets & TomCats.

Problem... TomCats receive Datalink info & the Hornets Do Not !! From AWAC...

 

Problem with my Mission?? or Hornet ?? way strange. Will attach mission file.

Try first removing the awacs and then recreating it. Remember to set the D/L on (frequency 127)

Link 4 seems encoded into the Tomcat, so is unaffected.

 

The Hornet's Link 16 needs AWACS to have their data link enabled "EPLRS(on) -a" in 'Advanced Waypoint Actions'. Older missions have this missing as it's a new option for AWACS, etc.

 

The easiest way to do this is to change your E-3A's to E-2D's and then back to E-3A's as this lets them keep their routes, orbits, etc. and add the datalink automatically.

 

 

IIRC you may also need to add "EPLRS(on) -a" to any AI F-15C, F-15E, F-16C, etc. if you wish them to be F/F donors to the data link.

Note: If there are still issues, you might need to check for conflicting TACAN channels (i.e. from tankers), as they used to cause datalink issues as well.
