#3357 RIM-174A-2 Datalink Question - 2/4/2019 2:43:01 AM

I want to add the #3357 RIM-174A-2 ERAM SM-6MR Blk IA [Dual I] to a F/A-18D. I have added the mount, weapons, sensors from an Aegis cruiser, and various datalink from this list of datalinks found on the forums, that look like they may work. The problem is that when i try to attack something there is an error that reads "Unable to connect to firing unit with mandatory datalink". The weapon itself has the AEGIS Missile Datalink (Two-Way) dayalink so I added the "126 AEGIS Command Datalink [AN/SPY-1B] AEGIS Weapon Link " to the Super Hornet, which didn't help.

Does anyone know the correct Datalink ? Maybe it isnt listed on the list as the date on that post is in 2013, I don't know. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Mog

It would be cool to have a current list of comm and datalinks.

It would be a lot of fun to play with but in actuality the missile's size of over 3000 pds and over 21ft length would not fit on a Hornet... but not sure if that is modelled?

<GameInstallFolder>\DB\Database Component ID Number List\DB3k_442.txt is more up to date.


Via lua you may need the following on the unit that didn't have aegis (unless you also added the radar):
The link will need to match the associated radar in use I think too ie 1B vs 1D may matter, more so though
one-way vs two way.
--## AEGIS Command Datalink [AN/SPY-1D(V two-way) [18ch] [allieburke flightIIA | A-shore]
ScenEdit_UpdateUnit({guid=tostring(myunit.guid),mode='add_comms',dbid='293'});

Also you could optionally add E-2D Aegis Hawkeye CEC link (either should enable it in quick test) but the first one more closely matches a DDG\CG\Aegis ashore sort of setup.
--## AEGIS Command Datalink [E-2d Hawkeye offboard]
ScenEdit_UpdateUnit({guid=tostring(myunit.guid),mode='remove_comms',dbid='318'});

This what My test F-18F super hornet Block III looked like when done... The tomahawk stuff is there for something else I was testing. I stuck the Rim 174's on vls mount on the plane. Fires at ships no problems.
{ comp_name = 'AIM-120 Command Datalink [Two-Way]', comp_type = 'CommDevice', comp_guid = 'adca5152-d0ee-4044-850b-72c7e45ca2ee', comp_status = 'Operational', comp_dbid = 294 }
{ comp_name = 'Link 16 JTIDS', comp_type = 'CommDevice', comp_guid = 'a1a65755-3cfa-4ca9-a1b8-96bdd85d4802', comp_status = 'Operational', comp_dbid = 52 }
{ comp_name = 'AN/ARC-210 SINCGARS VHF/UHF Communications', comp_type = 'CommDevice', comp_guid = '8bbd91fa-23f1-495a-affb-9b66be44b92e', comp_status = 'Operational', comp_dbid = 95 }
{ comp_name = 'UHF Radio [Secure]', comp_type = 'CommDevice', comp_guid = '8d4b9456-cd3f-4e92-86ef-6aef9141771e', comp_status = 'Operational', comp_dbid = 264 }
{ comp_name = 'Tomahawk Command Datalink', comp_type = 'CommDevice', comp_guid = '810d111f-5a6e-4300-ac80-6dd47b599b84', comp_status = 'Operational', comp_dbid = 134 }
{ comp_name = 'VHF Radio [Secure]', comp_type = 'CommDevice', comp_guid = '3d5a96b9-de39-4f9b-8855-8a1cc781405d', comp_status = 'Operational', comp_dbid = 209 }
{ comp_name = 'AEGIS Command Datalink [AN/SPY-1D(V), Two-Way]', comp_type = 'CommDevice', comp_guid = '839e4d45-1a38-4c05-b0de-cdb94bed726c', comp_status = 'Operational', comp_dbid = 293 }



If you want a list of what datalinks are attached to something like above:
local myunit = ScenEdit_GetUnit({name='DDG 124 Harvey C. Barnum Jr. [Arleigh Burke Flight III]', guid='5d4402a4-fe5d-4d28-bbc2-84473aa47e27'})
print('--comms list---');
for i, v in ipairs(myunit.components) do
   if v.comp_type=='CommDevice' then
   print(v);
   end
end
print('--end comms list---');


Note I couldn't get the 174A-2 on the f-18 to target inbound missiles (at least sa-21b's) just aircraft and ships, didn't spend much time looking into that though.

That is too fun! Just added a LaWS Laser Weapon to an F-14 and went hunting MiGs.
