CallsignFrosty Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Is there any sign that the ADF functionality will ever be included with the sim? I know it's a bit late in the day for new features but it does seem to be a bit of a fail not including it. It could make for some nice situations. ALSO, as it is already included in UH1, it wouldn't be too much work as the beacons are already present on the map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 The A-10 does not have the capability to use ADF navigation beacons (NDBs). The ADF function in the A-10 is solely for the UHF & VHF/FM radios and is used for CSAR operations (locating downed pilots by moving in on their survival radios).

Flagrum Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I tried to use A-10C for CSAR and it did not work. The only things that worked were lamps UHF and FM. Does ADF work now? Last time I used this feature (1.2.8) it was still working. That is for UHF. VHF/FM should work, but is - for whatever the reason - not implemented in DCS.

Joni Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi guys, sorry to revive this old thread but I was wondering if the FM homing is working now as it is a major functionality to locate downed pilots. Also, the manual says that nor the UHF and FM homing are functional so I was wondering why the UHF works, (it does, right?). Thanks!

Joni Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 And FM? I could not get UHF to work... I dont even listen to the broadcast file when tunning the radio I set in the ME.

Joni Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Ok, I got it to work but there is a bug. UHF is AM so the ground unit should be transmitting in for example 255 AM but it doesnt work that way. It only works if you set it at 255 FM... Should I post this in the bug forum?

Joni Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I just tried on 252 AM and it works... lol! Have no idea what's going on... any?

Ciribob Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I've had it work in AM on UHF with the beacons from the CTLD script. I've tried VHF FM but although the FM light appears, I've not been able to home consistently to it.

Joni Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 yeah, it seems it works only for UHF... i tried several more times and it appears to work on both FM and AM modulations. Very very sad to find out that the FM doesnt work :( Such a basic feature for CSAR not implemented.

Rongor Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 CSAR might very probably use UHF so to complain about a missing basic feature is somewhat inappropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hey guys, I never actually played with it - to have it implemented for the UHF radio in a mission, do you have to use a script or can the baeacon be added via trigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 It can be added as a trigger or a ground unit can transmit it as well Intel Core i5-8600k + Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO | Gigabyte GTX 1070 Aorus 8G | 32GB DDR4 Corsair Vengance LPX Black 3200MHz | Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming 3 | WD Black SN750 NVMe 500GB | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB | WD Green 240GB | WD Caviar Black 1TB SATA 3 | WD Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 3 | EVGA 650 GQ 80+ Gold | Samsung CF391 Curved 32" | Corsair 400C | Steelseries Arctis 5 --- Razer Kraken X Lite | Logitech G305 | Redragon Dyaus 2 K509 | Xbox 360 | Saitek X-52 Pro | Thrustmaster TWCS | TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not true... csar can be either and even satcom. so the "probably use uhf" is totally wrong as a statement. thanks for sharing.

baltic_dragon Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Did some testing yesterday, only UHF radio works, but what is important, it DOES work for A-10C :) contrary to what the manual says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
