Yes but I still get missions that hang up. For instance, the takeoff and basic flight mission always hangs up when it asks me to do a 360 turn. When I get home I'll try to use the radio in a quick mission.
I tried it with easy comms on and off. I can only assume I was on the right frequency as the tutorial was telling me what to input. I am able to open the radio menu using the HOTAS but once the menu is open only the F1 command works. (I think F5 is to contact the tower? I'm at work atm). Even if I was on the wrong frequency shouldn't I be able to open the menu commands anyway? I just wouldn't get a response?
Once I open the radio commands only f1 (wingman?) works. I'm doing the landing tutorial and I can't contact the airfield. Any help is greatly appreciated.
