!!! warning "DATALINK Transmission Time"
125+
This setting has been removed in Stable 0.8.0. We are now using VDL3 communication protocols.
126+
127+
The real datalink used in VHF areas is VDL2. For simulation purposes we have chosen to utilize the VDL3 communication protocols to exchange ACARS/CPDLC data between ground
128+
stations and air stations. The current implementation works with fixed timings to simulate transmission delays. This provides better simulation capabilities and includes a VHF signal quality simulation.
