Data link/mission editor/create fast mission.

[KillEmAll88]

 I like to 'create fast missions' then take it to the editor to tweak it. When I have wingman they are not providing data link.

 

 I have MIDS turned on 

 I have the DL switch fwrd

 I have HSD OSB FR set to on

 I am on the same UHF (not sure what VHF   they are using) 

 

 *Do I need to setup data link to be active in editor ?. 

 

 *Do I need to enter my wingman in Link 16 P2/P3 of the DED page ?. (They are either shown as 002/003 in briefing. 

 

 Sorry im not sure where the problem is.

Without an AWACs to transmit a link picture, you will only get your radar tracks passed and vice versa
