Dragon1-1 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 It's correct for our Viper and it's been said we're getting it, but I'm not seeing it in the official task list, and there doesn't seem to be any news on it. Is it a post-EA item, or will we get it before release? It's a little more limited than Link 16, but it does allow sharing the SPI in air to ground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvroLanc Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I wouldn’t expect it at all. Wag’s did mention it in passing once, but never since, and to implement it fully would be a fairly big task, and I don’t see any signs of it happening.

Geraki Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 IDM is smaller TASK than the full and complete implemented LINK16 , Datalink uses UHF and VHF radio to provide digital data communications with other users that have an IDM (Improved Data Modem). The IDM converts digital data to audio data for UHF or VHF radio transmission. When data is received from other users, the IDM converts the audio data to digital data and sends it to the avionics system for display in the cockpit. Datalink must not be confused with the link 16 more info publicly here : https://codex.uoaf.net/index.php/Data_link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 That they moved it to wishlist is not a good sign. It's not a wish, I wanted to know what happened to a feature Wags said will be there. The IDM is a fairly simple audio-based DL system, but it's also quite useful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDM has never been a cited feature in the roadmap. While it's something we'd like to do, it's not something promised. We'll see. 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

777coletrain Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) I thought I heard that IDM was being worked on a while ago, or if not at least planned. Although it's completely possible that it changed between now and then Edited October 16, 2022 by 777coletrain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
