Datalink NET TIME jump

[TheBigTatanka]

In real datalink capable jets, you can switch off the GPS time, and manually enter another time. Doing this puts you on a network with other players on your net time. For example, you go out as a flight of 4, but you want #3 and #4 to be on a separate net because they will act as adversary jets / training aids. 3 & 4 would both manually enter a NET time 20 minutes in the future. Now they see one another on datalink, but have dropped off the net of all other blue players.

 

Currently in DCS, you can change time to drop off the net, but going to another net time with your wingman never actually syncs up.

 

As we get more and more 4th gen jets, something like this would be great. I guess another way to simulate this would be to allow players to switch coalitions at will via a kneeboard or comm menu.

Is that so ? So if you change the System Time from the jet on the DED TIME page you will drop from the L16 ? We have been having L16 issues on big mission when we reset the time to have the same time in the 4ship fro exemple so that could be it ?

I set Zulu time or Local in MP missions and had no L16 issues at all
