Data Link in BS2 1.2.1

[ECV56_Tordo]

When I try to perform the procedure to send the data to my wingman, the SEND MEN button start flashing and he never received my target.

 

Something has changed with this version? :helpsmilie:

[Dejjvid]

Just sent data in multiplayer, worked as it should.

 

You sure you did reset your shkval before trying to send?

[ECV56_Tordo]

I was referring to the SP mode. And yes, I did reset before try send. Happen when I play GOW campaign.

There is something wrong Wingmen and Datalinks, I believe another of the testers has looked into it.

Thanks for the answer, Nate! Hope the devs can fix it soon! :)

[Dejjvid]

So it's only an issue with AI wingman?

 

I've never sent directly to an ID in the current build, only sent to all. In multiplayer that is.

I confirm the issue: cannot send target to wingmen via data link.

 

however, wingmen can transmit their targets detected in reco. The data link seems to work from wingmen to leader(player) but not from leader to wingmen.

I was going insane trying to figure this out, I am having the issue as well. Hope it gets fixed soon, gogo auto updater!

[ECV56_Tordo]

Hope it gets fixed soon, gogo auto updater!

Thx!

Bumping, as I experience this also. The Shark is just about useless without the Datalink working.

Reported bug in SP.. works in MP!?

So I guess they are already on it, and this post turned out to be an involuntary 'bump'

[Dejjvid]

As stated before, works perfectly in MP.

[Devrim]

Is this problem solved for SP? Any update?

[Dejjvid]

Only update is that we don't have any updates on the update.

[ECV56_Tordo]

1.2.2 is out and this bug is not fixed? Is that true? :cry:

[thisisentchris87]

1.2.2 is out and this bug is not fixed? Is that true? :cry:

 

Couldn't get my Wingman to attack Datalinked targets in my scenarios. So I'm thinking that yes it isn't fixed.

Grammar.

[Devrim]

If so, I'm downloading 5.3 GB to fix mouse issue only!.

[Quirkitized]

I was really hoping this was fixed, damn.

[BaD CrC]

If the number of bugs fixed in the 1.2.2 for BS2 is really limited to these two lines given in the newsletter, this is getting ridiculous.....

[Erforce]

Hehe, i hope it's only me, but thoses 2 lines, i really wasn't aware of. :)

[Joy]

I made a quick test with the new version 1.2.2 on a single player mission, and my wingman attacked the datalinked targets with no problem. Nice! :thumbup:

[ECV56_Tordo]

Please, Joy! Can you upload your track? :helpsmilie:

 

My wingman dont receive my datalink target in 1.2.2. :cry:

 

EDIT: OK! I make a new mission just for test, and the wingman received my datalink point, and he flew there when I ordered it!

 

I keep testing...

New test

[Erforce]

We need more testers ;)

Mine seems working at first sight, but in fact, it's still messed.

 

First try : they said ok, went to engagement position, and returned without firing.

Second try : I uploaded differents targets to each WM.

2 : engaged all other targets BUT the one i provided.

3 (ordered him to go to Datalink point) : he went over target point (what a dumb !)

4 : he's still a good fellas.

continuing investigations.

 

Edit : i provide a quick (and dirty) mission track.

Description :

-1 SA10 group

-1 Tank group

-1 Grad group

-1 Molnya

 

I sent 3 datalink points, SA10 Radar to WM2, Launchers to WM3, Arty and molniya to WM4.

None of them gone over datalink points, but over target points.

Then, after a second try, WM3 shot what he likes, 4 didn't engaged the ship, etc...

You can see icons messing on Abris too. (WM4 == datalink other type)

 

This scenario can't be reproduced twice. it's random. (next time my WM2 could follow orders and so on)

I found another problem. :joystick:

 

In the GOW campaign, mission ATO-A-P1.4 (or 1.1, or 1.2, or 1.3), when I open it in ME, I look in the first waypoint (player), and in advanced waypoint actions are:

 

1. Set Frequency 127.5

 

When I take off (and this command has executed) dont matter what I do, even changing my radio frequency to 127.5, the wingman dont received datalinks targets.

 

I fixed the mission, deleting that command. So the wingman now take all my datalink targets and navpoints.

 

Something is wrong with action Set Frequency and datalink. :huh:
