Datalink
The datalink system in the F-16 is called Link-16.
To connect to your buddies, all should enter the same datalink code in the DED panel on DLNK page.
Make sure your opponents do not know the code you are using.
The DLNK page will show the callsigns of those that on your datalink network.
Furthermore datalink friendlies will be shown on FCR and HSD pages (blue color) even though you don't see them on your radar. They will also show the targets they have locked up (red color), even if you do not have that target picked up on your radar.
On the ICP panel (the panel under the HUD), click the WX button, while DED is on STPT, BEYE or MKPT page. The coordinates will be transmitted, and received by all on the datalink as a markpoint (#450 to #554 on STPT DED page). When this happens they will get a notification in their HUD and the markpoint will also be shown on their HSD page. See GPS Points for more info on what they can use this for.
