granola1861 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Tholozor Posted April 13 Solution Share Posted April 13 AFAIK the AWACS operates on a dedicated mission channel that's separate from the fighter channel.

granola1861 Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 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 | Gigabyte RX6900XT | ASUS ROG Strix X570-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 960Pro 1TB NMVe | HP Reverb G2 Pro Flight Trainer Puma | VIRPIL MT-50CM2+3 base / CM2 x2 grip with 200 mm S-curve extension + CM3 throttle + CP2/3 + FSSB R3L + VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | TPR rudder pedals OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS graphics settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 | Gigabyte RX6900XT | ASUS ROG Strix X570-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 960Pro 1TB NMVe | HP Reverb G2 Pro Flight Trainer Puma | VIRPIL MT-50CM2+3 base / CM2 x2 grip with 200 mm S-curve extension + CM3 throttle + CP2/3 + FSSB R3L + VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | TPR rudder pedals OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS graphics settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanR Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
