unurkan Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Hello fellow pilots! Has anyone else noticed significant degradation of the Jeff's DL since update 2.9? Bogeys now do not populate in the DL nearly as reliably as before. Even higher altitude bogeys that used to show up in DL now are hit or miss. Here are a couple of other things that I noticed: DL does not seem to function if the radar is set to silent. DL turns off if ACM mode is entered. DL refresh rate seems to have been nerfed considerably. DL seems to work better when own plane is at lower altitudes (<10k feet). Especially the fact that DL turns off in ACM mode bothers me a lot as DL at closer ranges was very important for the Jeff to stay competitive. 2
Th3ChosenOn3 Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 I noticed changes to DL too. From my experience, It might be that with the recent DL changes introduced in 2.9, that the JF-17 is not connecting to all the Datalink channels/sources anymore. Maybe @uboats can confirm if the JF-17 has received DL changes for 2.9? 1 AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D | ASRock X670E Steel Legend | 64GB (2x32GB) G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-6000MHz CL32 | XFX RX 7900 XTX Merc 310 24GB GDDR6 | Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe | Corsair HX1000i 1000W 80+ Platinum (2022) | Meta Quest 3 512GB | Dell S3422DWG 34" 144Hz UWQHD (3440x1440) | VPC MongoosT-50CM2 Base & Grip with 200mm VPC Flightstick Extension | VPC MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle | VPC ACE Collection Rudder Pedals | VPC Control Panel #2 & VPC SharKa-50 Control Panel
unurkan Posted October 24, 2023 Author Posted October 24, 2023 I played around some more last night. There is definitely something going on with DL on the Jeff since 2.9. The fact that DL turns off every time ACM mode is entered is 100% repeatable. Would love to hear from the devs on this topic.

Napillo Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 I'd be curious too how the new voip works with the 'jeff channel' aka channel 199 - it should be a digital voice channel not analog, so line of sight shouldn't be required, except to the awacs.
