LorenLuke Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 Any and all things for datalink points (NOTE: not the constant stream of aircraft locations that an AWACS gives) would be nice, as far as any of the following for the mission editor/script/events/etc. The ability to create a datalink target, for a specific target/frequency/whatever for a target (or target coordinates), with a couple of sub-variables for things like type, label, etc.; given the range of datalink systems available, some API or universal reference for what may correspond to what may need to be used. An event listener for all of the above, including the sending aircraft. With the above this could create the following: Event related tasking via link16 JTACs for appropriate platforms. Additional tasking from AWACs or other units, including possibility to handle assigning points as a force commander or game master using map markers and an interpretation script to convert the map point into a datalink location. Datalink integration cross-platforms to create stopgap links (albeit fictitious ones) between incompatible platforms to fulfill roles that otherwise would take place with platforms not in DCS (e.g. an AH-64 serving as a ka-52 stand-in command and search helicopter for a Black Shark wolfpack)
