reported Is the data Link training mission broken?

[RyanR]

The data Link training mission (included with DCS) tells me to look at the HSD to see some form of magic as my flight attacks some bandits. No magic happens. I can't see anything bugged, or the magic dotted lines that occasionally pop up. My wingmen simply shoot down the bandits.

Am I supposed to see something? Or is it broke? The datalink is pretty hit or miss.

I wish ED would provide a NOTAM.

Thanks,

I have noticed the same, I think it used to work but the datalink system was redesigned recently and that seems have broken this training mission.

I am guessing the functionality still is in fact avialable but because it works differntly now, wherby there are "Team members" and contributors which are not the same the demonstration in this lesson does'nt work.

+1.  I also noticed this a few days ago.

Hi, 

we will take a look, it maybe due to data link changes in early access. 

 

- I have moderated the thread please keep discussion on the topic title, I will move this thread to the bug section.

 

thank you

Thanks all!

The friendlies in the mission aren't in the "flight" (not blue on the HSD), so I'm guessing that's part of the issue. Not really enough time in a training mission to troubleshoot.

We have asked the team to review the mission and a report has been made. 

thank you
