granola1861 Posted April 13, 2024 Posted April 13, 2024 Ok folks quick question. I may have a corrupted mission but have a DL and AWACS question. I remember Wags stating that AWACS are automatically set as donors and should show on the HSD with a donors dot but my mission it isn't, and therefore doesn't need placed in the donors column in the ME. Is this correct or should I set the AWACS as a donor in the ME? I'm getting contacts from Overlord but no dot. Is this correct? Thanks in advance. -Climber
Solution Tholozor Posted April 13, 2024 Solution Posted April 13, 2024 AFAIK the AWACS operates on a dedicated mission channel that's separate from the fighter channel.

granola1861 Posted April 13, 2024 Author Posted April 13, 2024 That was my understanding but the videos only glossed over it and there hasn't been a manual update for some time that shows the DL implementation.
Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted April 14, 2024 Posted April 14, 2024 Try re-saving the mission (I do that regularly), or if that fails remove the AWACS and place a new one. 1 Spoiler Ryzen 9 5900X | 64GB G.Skill TridentZ 3600 | Asus ProArt RTX 4080 Super | ASUS ROG Strix X570-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 960Pro 1TB NMVe | VR: Varjo Aero Pro Flight Trainer Puma | VIRPIL MT-50CM2 grip on VPForce Rhino with Z-curve extension | Virpil CM3 throttle | Virpil CP2 + 3 | FSSB R3L | VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip | Everything mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | TPR rudder pedals OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS graphics settings

Am I right in thinking that the AWACS should have a donor dot? I guess that's my big question. I will replace the AWACS and re-save. This is one of those missions that I've added and subtracted client aircraft over time and made other small changes along the way. I'd say it's probably a few year old by now. I may even need to start another mission similar from scratch, but it's such a good mission.... Thanks for the reply Raven. -Climber

I never paid attention to that. 3 minutes ago, granola1861 said: I'd say it's probably a few year old by now. There are a lot of changes made in DCS and they often affect older missions negatively. That's why re-saving (or even removing units and placing them again) can often fix issues. 2 Spoiler Ryzen 9 5900X | 64GB G.Skill TridentZ 3600 | Asus ProArt RTX 4080 Super | ASUS ROG Strix X570-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 960Pro 1TB NMVe | VR: Varjo Aero Pro Flight Trainer Puma | VIRPIL MT-50CM2 grip on VPForce Rhino with Z-curve extension | Virpil CM3 throttle | Virpil CP2 + 3 | FSSB R3L | VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip | Everything mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | TPR rudder pedals OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS graphics settings
RyanR Posted April 15, 2024 Posted April 15, 2024 Missions made prior to the most recent datalink fix can be weird. No matter how I tried to get a flight to appear as my flight, they just wouldn't. Build a new mission (four planes, an AWACS, and four bad guys) from scratch? No problem. -Ryan 1
