You have to change the Data Link setting on the FCR via OSB 6 from ASSN to CONT
Hold down the IFF Out (or In I forgot which one) switch for about a second

Then the CONT on the FCR should be highlighted in a solid white box
once you’re within Datalink distance, other packages should pop up on the FCR and HSD

Well, your wingmen will because those Datalink addresses auto-populate.

Other flights in your package will not UNLESS you populate the aircraft DL addresses in the data-link page in the DED (List - Enter - Sequence …. if I recall correctly).

Yup, ignoring the complications of multiplayer, you can set your #2-#8 address slots however you want as long as they are in your package. The addresses are XY where X is the flight number and Y is the member number. Flights are numbered the same as in the briefing list. You can get creative following only #1 and #3 from 3 flight if you run low on address slots.
