Farlink | Combat Data-Link System

Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction
Farlink is a combat datalink system based off VTOL VR's F-45 datalink system (visual update coming later).

Features
- Infinite Paintable Targets
You can infinitely lock and scan targets for Farlink to paint onto the datalink.

- Lock Any Painted Target
Any target painted in the datalink you can lock onto.
To lock a painted target you must touch a target.

- Inspect Allies & Targets
Allows you to inspect Targets & Allies by touching them.

- Paint Targets For Allies
If you have a radar and an radar to xyz, which then allows you to paint targets for friendlies.
Requirements for this feature to work are:
An old radar setup (provided on example vehicle)
Target coordinates and mass output on channel 1,X | 2,Y | 3,Z | 4,Mass

How to use
Required blocks
1x Antenna (huge or large size is preferred)
1x GPS Sensor
1x Altimeter
1x Monitor (for visual and interaction)

am i able to use this on my awacs with the awacs dish or do i need to use the included radar setup?

Also insure you're on the latest Farlink version

@282 Industries,
How can me and my friends use different frequencies when fighting each other so we can be on separate teams and not all seen as friendly?

A: Change the frequency on the microcontroller, should be called "Change Frequency".

Additionally how do you "paint" the target as i can't seem to be able to?

A: To be able to paint targets you need an old radar setup, there is an example on how it is setup on the example vehicle.

I would have to add a property to turn it on and off, I'll see if I can add that today.

Alright, thanks for responding, is there anyway to preserve the altitude function without using the auto-zoom? I'm fairly comfortable with Lua, but since the code is minified I'm having trouble reading it.
Vlad  [author] 26 Jun, 2022 @ 3:26am 
Yes, it shares your altitude with your friendlies it's also used in range estimation, see the picture at the top.
Borderline Autistic 25 Jun, 2022 @ 4:47pm 
Is altitude used for anything other than map zoom?
Vlad  [author] 20 Jun, 2022 @ 10:16pm 
It's not possible at the current moment, since I can't differentiate between targets without having mass and to calculate mass I need old radars. I may attempt to make another way to differentiate with out using mass.
