Datalink Q

[dooom]

sometimes when i do a start up the datalink doesnt appear to work... will it only "lightup" when lasing something or should i be able to "click" on its buttons anytime and see them light up - i.e. as a check before lift off?

I've noticed that mine doesn't work properly until my helo is completely started. Also make sure you are turning on the D-Link. Can't remember the proper name of the switches off the top of my head.

I think to use some of the systems aboard the Black shark like Datalink and Flares, you need to throttle up, not sure how far but having the throttle above idle activates some systems.

It is due to the fact that some systems need more current than the supplied by the inverter (which has limitations), so they require the generators being turned on and the rotor spinning at nominal values.

 

UV-26 an LWS are two of these. I think datalink is another.

Yes the buttons only light up when lasing a target or when selecting/sending a target already in memory. :)
