T-Pap Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 In a group with F-16's and/or F-18 , the Jf's can communicate between eachother but they cannot receive or transmit to the F-16s/18s in the same group. Similar , F-16 can see eachother and transmit/receive but are unable to see the Jfs. Is this a bug or a missing feature ? If there is a matter of correct setup , could you please give me some instructions as to how to setup the group so that other planes can work with the jf in the same datalink group ? Thanks

Similar , F-16 can see eachother and transmit/receive but are unable to see the Jfs. I think it works as intended, as on the real airplanes their Datalink protocols are different: F-16 and F-18 use Link-16 while the YF-17 uses an indigenous system.

Harlikwin Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 As I understand it the Jeff and F-teens need to have an awacs in the mission to "interpret". Which seems fairly plausible.

Kazansky222 Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 Jeff F/F DL does not cooperate with F16 or F18 is an intended feature. They use different DL protocols. Should they be able to share data through an awacs if one is present? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 64th "Scorpions" Aggressor Squadron Discord: 64th Aggressor Squadron TS: 195.201.110.22
Tiger-II Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 JF-17 can piggy-back on the back of E-3A or A-50 if they're in the mission for DL, but they can't share directly with the other non-JF-17 aircraft without. Motorola 68000 | 1 Mb | Debug port "When performing a forced landing, fly the aircraft as far into the crash as possible." - Bob Hoover. The JF-17 is not better than the F-16; it's different. It's how you fly that counts. "An average aircraft with a skilled pilot, will out-perform the superior aircraft with an average pilot."
