MichTerran Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 The first mission. I can't get the members of my flight to display on the HSD page. However, everything is fine in other F-16 flights.

MichTerran Posted September 1, 2024 Author Posted September 1, 2024 I usually turn on all the switches right away. I set the MIDS to "on" while the engine is spooling up.

That doesn't work anymore in the F-16, was updated a while back. Leave the DL and MIDS switches off until your INS is aligned and set to Nav, then turn them on and all should work ok. 1
MichTerran Posted September 1, 2024 Author Posted September 1, 2024 (edited) I tried it. Now I can see the other aircraft on the datalink, but my flight members are still not showing up. Edited September 1, 2024 by MichTerran
Solution ChillNG Posted September 1, 2024 Solution Posted September 1, 2024 I've seen reports of an intermittent DL bug on the Viper, you might be seeing that. They don't always come up on DL straight away either, but will appear once the mission is a little more underway, still a mystery why but I see it quite often.

This worked for me, only issue, when I was using the Autostart cheat, I was able to be ready and not get yelled at for not taking off soon enough, Tonight I did mission 3 and started the plane without an aids, it was hard to get all the items done in time to take off before the warning, however the data link works. LOL. You can't turn on the data link until the INS is fully aligned. Also, there is not enough time on the ground to take a minute to align the helm mounted cue system, I'll just have to get faster. I got the mission completed but was hit by something, the plane was damaged and just before STGP 7 my flight controls when out and I crashed LMAO. Mike
