312_strycekFido Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Can you transfer waypoints (inc. FP, HA, etc) via datalink? How? We're talking multi crew MP with human RIOs on both ends. I went through the manual few times, but didn't really found anything. Only some mentions about sth called DLWP (TID symbols, INS fixes,..). But nothing about how to actually create/transfer them. Can anybody provide more info or point me somewhere useful? Thx for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longiron Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 There is some woo woo in manual about using mode C of data link between aircraft. Have you tried that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper2097 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Isn't mode C only used for sharing target attack information? Steam user - Youtube I am for quality over quantity in DCS modules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SspectrumM Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Isn't mode C only used for sharing target attack information? Apparently you can not load the waypoints by datalink, this system only helps you update and realign your waypoints during the flight. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvroLanc Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 You can create DL waypoints in the editor. Create DLWP1, DLWP2, DLWP3, DLST, and DLFP, just like you would other special waypoints. They then show up on the TID, which you can then hook. Obviously they don't interact in any way with AWACS or anything, nor can you send them. They merely serve as additional reference points atm. Maybe one day an AWACS player could send them mid flight...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naquaii Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 The Fighter to Fighter link had no provision for waypoint transfers. It's only the TDS version that has datalink waypoints but as we have no current way of playing as an AWACS atm those has to be set via the ME as per the manual.
