ABRIS in MP?

[Frosties]

Hi,

have noticed that my teammates doesnt appear on my ABRIS while playing MP?

 

And i couldnt add a friend in my flight.

 

Anyway to add a friend so they appear on the ABRIS screen?

To cooperate with ABRIS as far I know: all your people need to have same frequency. Then changle Self ID, 1 for leader, rest 2, 3 and 4. Wingman choose Wingman mode, leader Commander mode (?). Then you can send links to other players via upper Datalink panel. Example lock something on Shkval, set to who send locked position and click send on datalink panel.

We have the same freq, different self-id ... not sure about the different modes since we dont know what the dial says :)

 

We dont appear on each others ABRIS screens and doesnt recieve the info from data-link with the settings we have set for now.

And what about setup Radio and Datalink? Same frequency, switch on power, and different ID. Read the manual.

 

EDIT:

OMG: you were faster then i wrote answer.

I don't want talk bullshits cos I also just learned it with 104th_Crayola help, but it is enough if two people have wingman mode, then they can send datalink. Aaah I forgot to say to have Master ARM on and Laser on when locking something to send.

[Frosties]

So in order to be able to send a target, it has to be locked on?

 

 

When all the settings are correct, will my friendly helicopters show on the screen?

[Boberro]

I always lock, don't know it must be, but I do it always.

 

If Self ID and modes are ok, you will see yourselves both.

[Maverick-GER-]

Doesnt have to be locked , ground lock is enough.

[Frosties]

ok, thanks all for the great answers.. helpful as always!

Will try this later this evening in MP if my friend is up for it.. :)

and you need to have a direct "line of sight" between the sharks, otherwise they can not cummunicate between each other.

And terrainf affect radio signal i think, if you fly very low an betwen you and you wingnam have big mountain you cant send datalink, and probably no see wingman position, only last signal of wingman position.

And make sure you have Tactical Information set up for you ABRIS. Verify this on the MAP>OPTIONS.

Normaly its best to switch the datalink to "wingman mode" for every pilot of the flight!

 

In Comander Mode you are able to get targets from your flight leader ONLY and the other wingmen do not appear in the ABRIS!

 

The wingman mode is the second position from right of the rotary switch next to the datalink ID rotary switch.

To return to this:

 

When finding a target, and report tem to the enemy they appear on their screen.

What about my own? is there a way to recon an area, put in units on the map for my own personal use to plan an attack?

Have looked thru the manual but havent found it...
