Hello.

I´m not sure...is the Data Link for Winds and Temps aloft working in that plane?

Actually for me it´s not working.

Yes, it is working. Could you go into more detail as to your exact steps?

On the -8 (and now also -400) PMDG have simulated the step of having to first establish DATA LINK (DLNK) communications. This is done only once, during pre-flight via the center CDU. 

This is now a necessary step, prior to being able to uplink (request) any SATCOM data to the aircraft. Such as the flightplan or wind data. 

This will help clarify things:
