Actual Data-Link-Problems in 1.2.1

[-Mop-]

Since installing 1.2.1 i´m not able to use the datalink for target-/NAV TGT-/Ingresspoint-designation...

 

i´m absolutely shure, that i´m doing it the same way i have been doing it for the last 2 years... does sombody else got aware of this problem?

 

The manual says, that before using the Datalink you should be shure that my wingmen and i use the same vhf-Frequency... i have to admit, that i never payed attention to this... it just worked well, so i didn´t have to... for my understanding: Which frequency the manual is talking about? where can i change it?

Yeah -Mop-, I am having the same problem. Even installed the Interactive training missions and did as instructed - still did not work.

 

When I select a target type (Target Flashes on ABBRIS), then a wingman, hit send. The 'Send/Mem' stays flashing, indicating a problem.

 

Search this forum and tried some of the suggestions - Still no joy.

 

I have tried this on my standalone BS2 install (1.1.1.1) - Works fine.

It is a known bug.

OK. Thanks.

 

I don't want to sound too negative, I love the detail gone in to these sims. But, with this and the unplayable FPS when firing rockets, I am going to stick with the standalone version for now. This version feels a bit 'Beta'.

I created a mission with 3 wingmen and multiple targets.

In the mission editor you have a field COM that gives you the frequency used by the flight (I think it is 124 Mhz by default).

 

Check you have the right radio frequency displayed on your radio. In flight give an order to join formation to test the frequency. At take off you have to hear the report of you wingmen.

 

Then do the procedure for data link: lock target, choose type, wignman 2 3 or 4, then send.

 

I tested it yesterday and it works fine.

Thx for your answer, but i think, as earlier mentioned, that this is a bug of the actual version... because talking to my wingmann isnt a problem... when i want them to attack a datalink target i always hear: "unable"... when try try to transmit a datalink-Target (of course after doing the "reset-thing" ;-)) the send/Mem-Button starts flashing...

 

for me it was important to know, if the right datalink-frequency is used, when i am able to talk to my wingman by radion... so if the frequency selection of these both is connected to each other...

[codenamepanzer]

I never did a reset of the data link, is this the cause?

[codenamepanzer]

I suppose the datalink if fully operational:

1) Switches Data Link TLT & Data Link UHF-TLF ON (right panel near fire buttons)

2) PVTz-800: you are number 1. Put rotary on the mode "ВЕДОМ" (WING), elsewere you cannot transmit.

Try the mission without resetting the data link. Anyway there is no way to choose de data link frequency.

Interesting, codenamepanzer. I will try it when I back home from work!

 

Thanks! :thumbup:

[ECV56_Tordo]

No. I have not success with your suggestion, codenamepanzer. Please... can you attach your miz? I can test it.

 

Every time I try to send the target data to my wingman, the SEND button start flashing and he never received the data.

 

If I order him to attack datalink target/targets, always respond "Unable".

 

It's annoying fly the campaign without being able to control my wingman. It is practically unplayable in 1.2.1.

 

In Multiplayer the datalink is working ok.

[codenamepanzer]

here is the mission:

On point 2 there are 4 Abrams, 2 HUMVEE and infantry.

You have 3 wingmen with you ready to take off.

 

you'll see that your wingmen use 2 vikhr by abrams and 1 vikhr by HUMVEE.

 

Try it, i'm waiting for your reporting.

Thanks, friend!

 

Local time for me is 04:39 pm now, in work again. This night I will test your mission and I go back here to report.

 

Thks again!

[ECV56_Tordo]

No success, codenamepanzer.

 

I play your miz, and the wingmen dont received the data.

 

Only if I order "Attack my target", or "Engage Ground Targets", they engaged. But never attack datalink target or targets group.

 

I attach the track just you can see what I do.

 

Thanks for your interest :thumbup:

 

Version used: 1.2.1.6288

 

 

 

P/S: I dont know why I see all Ka-50 without textures in this mission. :huh:

I'll see the track this evening.

 

Probably i use a skin you don't have. You can change it in the payload menu of the flight in the mission editor.

[codenamepanzer]

Try to use the laser . Once locked with Shkval+Laser, the target can be transmitted via data link.

You have seen my track?

 

Are you able to see the data saved in the ABRIS before attempting to send it to my wingmen? How can I save the data in the ABRIS, if I had not used the Shkval+Llaser?

 

Please, I dont pretend to test your patience. But can you record for me a track where you send the data to your wingmen, and then use the option "Attack datalink target/s" and they answer "afirmative"? I'd really appreciate.

 

Maybe I are doing something wrong, and I dont able to see what is. Hopefully this is not a bug, and the datalink is working ok!

 

Thank you! :thumbup:

I have this same problem. When I save target to Abris and then try to get AI wingmen to attack it in DCS World, AI answers unable.

 

I am also missing AI reconnaissance in radio messages. AI recon is working on my BS2 standalone install. Is this feature removed from newest versions?
