Neat system, would there be a way to make 'groups' of vehicle, so that i can select targets on all vehicle at once, would be nice if you got multiple anti-air or stuff

i like the idea of this but i am lost on how to use it

thanks

You should look for a lua script node start with '--datalink3dataRecieving' and the 1st number output is the 'ID'

I want to get an ID and enter it for the HMD IFF, for this I need to get number output

ID is random and not synced when multiplayer game. if you want to know your ID, check the upper left corner of the screen.

how can I get my ID?

Okay, thanks for the answer! Do you know the game Carrier Command 2 by Geometa? The game features some really impressive drones, and the carrier systems are quite advanced. Could you build something similar to CC2 that integrates with your data link?

to Pierro_M ,
Yes, there's 'circle radius' setting function. But currently, my fixed-wing project has been indefinitely postponed.
I might work on it after my next creation is released.

Is there a fixed wing drone planned? because i saw a setting (circle radius) on the datalink screen...

to Mac and Cheese,
About multiplayer — like you said, missiles may bug out.
I tested it again, and it seems to happen when there's packet loss (press F1 to check).
In bad network, missiles might:
- Get stuck on the launcher
- Fly in the wrong direction
But with good connection and stable TPS, it all works fine.
So I think the system is solid, both for host and guest. The real issue is likely game sync, not the system itself.
BTW, I uploaded an area defense system using data-link missiles.
I’ve tested it for quite a while — usually it works great as long as there’s no network issue.
Try it, and give me further feedback please.

nope doesnt work in peer-to-peer or dedicated

Great controller!!

it seems like the example missile doesnt work in dedicated servers, ill give more feedback once i have tried in a peer-to-peer

to Mac and Cheese,
Thank you for the feedback. I have exchanged the example missile to my newest design.
It should work well now.
This missile is also be used in 'TWS System Demo' .
The TWS system is using data-link to send target coordinate to missiles.
It also be tested and work well in multiplayer when not host.
Try it.

the missile doesnt work in multiplayer when not host

Pyo is hella dedicated

I have just updated data link to v 3.6.
Fixed several bugs, now everything should work perfectly.
If you got any problem, let me know . thanks .

known issues in v 3.5:
JTAC targets may not share correctly when skipping target order.
Multi-target real-time sharing is not working correctly now.
These issues are internal issues in the 'sending' LUA.
New code is ready , will update in 10 hrs.

Hey everyone, I’m happy to announce that the DataLink has been upgraded to 3.5!
I’ve reworked the whole button system, UI system, and UAV control system, and improved a lot of small details.
Even though it doesn’t look like much has changed overall, I think you’ll like it!
I’ve also added a UAV demo, so if you want to know more about the UAV, check it out here:

Thanks!

Hey McBurgen, thanks for the feedback! That was my mistake. I’ve updated the whole UAV control system, so now with the latest version, you can switch between multiple drones to control.

yes, when i open the opt menu and touch the arrows i cant change the selected rc vehicle

try unstack the opt menu and use arrow touch buttons to select

The RC menu doesn't let me change the selected vehicle

Well I gonna try to dissect your iff maybe i can figure out how you did the tick thing

By sending radio signal in 1 tick per several random ticks. Even two vehicle send signal in same time, next time they won't conflict again.

How do you actually manage to receive coordinates from multiple vehicles and show them on map?

I fixed an calculation error in UAV autopilot MC.

Oh ok saved me a lot of time cuz almost all my vehicles got a datalink 2 which I made more compact to fit very small vehicles and doing that took me bloody 6 hours..

Sorry, not support 1x1 screens anymore.

Any changes for 1x1 screen?

Thank you mate, i realy just found out for the v3 of your datalink :D

I have been using it in almost all of my "modern-ish" creations, i realy enjoyed the v2 and now i can't wait to use the v3 :D

I realy enjoy your work, thanks mate :)

If you need more information or picture we can use discord.

Thanks for your answer, If it can help, when I use your creation exemple it's works. But when I put them on my creation it's not working. I've also notified that when I not put the tracking radar on pivot the system work perfectly. So it's possible that the problem is just the game.

to Nostrum,
the built-in tracking radar is not that accurate so it outputs many dummy or wrong targets.
I will update it after I found a way to deal with.. and thank you for you feedback!

Hello, I have a problem with the Tracking radar. When a target was detected 2 or 3 enemy ping are created and just one of us is the target. And I need to press DEL to delete other ping. I don't know how to resolve this. For information I use 2 phalanx radar, 1 for search (Clockwise, pitch angle = 0.02, FOV X = 0.04 and FOV Y = 0.1) and 1 for targeting (Static, pitch angle = 0.02, FOV X = 0.05 and FOV Y = 0.8). However it's honestly the best creation that was ever made in my opinion. Data link II was already insane but data link III is a rank above.

yes. it is fixed it can now properly laze targets. thank you for the help. im sorry i confused you

i think i fixed it.
my turrets Y pivot was not aligned properly for it to work as a targeting pod

so i decided not to convert the signal into a num out. then i stated tinkering with the gps aiming sample. to try to get it to work with the laze trt. but duing testing, it would only spin and tilt upwards towards the aircraft when i input a waypoint for it to lock onto. im sorry if this doesnt make sense. my brain has a hard time describing things

to Sovereign,
I can't figure out what is happening. Could you tell me more details?
you said that you want gps signal, then the 27,28,29 is.
And then you said 'gps aiming demo is not working' I guess, I checked it with the 'external tgt example' right now, it is working.
I wonder where the signal is coming and to go, please tell me.

i decided againts that and used the GPS aim sample from the board. but it does not point the camera or lazer in the right direction, and just spins and tilts up

to Sovereign,
the gps of the target you are selecting is been output by the 27, 28, 29 number signal of 'radio send ' composite signal .

heyo, i was wondering if there was a wahy to turn target GPS info into a num out, was going to use it in the dragon fly Tpod

Pushed an update, fixed a causing blue-screen error.

Vman Htow,
SONAR is not included. But you can use other SONAR Target systems and input a target xyz signal into 'External target ' to show and share SONAR target.

WOW! Very Nice!, I'm working on a large LA Class sub for all its glory...As a command centre I'd Max the hell out of it with this stuff ... Question, I see the Radar. Is it SONAR compliant?

i love you

to ThisNameIsAlreadyTaken ,
Of course YES.

Hey, i was just wandering if you would be ok with me using this on my creation. I will of course give credit

Tell me the reason why you down vote this pls.
