TurboHog's JTAC and AWAC Mod - Questions

[DieHard]

(I have the latest 1.2.7.23097 update.)

 

I have TurboHog's mod download, recently installed:

 

JTAC integration for the KA-50 And KA-50 JTAC training. Version 1.5 for DCSW 1.2.6+ released.

 

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=93228

 

I overwrote all the new files into a modded DCSW directory copy I use to experiment with. I did it long hand, manually. I think I have it right. Though, I may have messed up, might have omitted something....

 

I loaded up the additional KA-50 JTAC training .miz file into my Ka-50 Missions selection off the main page.

 

Me, on the FARP, tuned to one of the correct R-828 frequency list channels, I click on the "\" keypad, I get the included F6. JTACs listing in the Communication Menu. The JTAC guy talks to me and gives me a 9-line. Once airborne, I do not get any radio listings F commands when I click the "\" keypad.

 

What is the secret to get the radio to work airborne with the simplistic radio button turned off? Yeah, I always use it, all the Multiplayer servers I have played on, use it.

 

Also in this Mission file, I do not get the F7. AWACSes listing. Am I supposed to? If I messed up, what file is this in?

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

I see there is a separate updated page that includes the channels list and use of a Kneeboard like the P-51 has. Is there a mod for this to get the kneeboard to work? I always fly in the full sim setup.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Are there other (.miz) mission files available?

 

Are any Multiplayer servers running the JTACs and AWACs mod?

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Hoping somebody(s) can help with these questions and a relatively easy fix. Alternative is to go sift through the message board archive.

Thanks in advance for any help with this matter.

 

Thanks for the mod, TurboHog.

Use SPU-9 PTT (Ralt + \) (or Lalt? I've mapped the PTT button to the normal '\')

 

JTAC mod is multiplayer compatible by default. Those who do not have it installed won't hear all your comms because of missing scripts and sound files. I've picked very common frequencies (31, 32, 40, 41 etc) and all AM freqs also work. Didn't come across many online missions where I couldn't steal A10 targets :).

 

BTW please post in the mod thread if you have questions.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I was wondering if this message post should be in the Shark mod category.

 

I hate double posting but I will.

The Kneeboard with the pilot is Right Shift + p

 

I used Google. Google referred me here:

This thread must be the where to go to, for finding info about how to use the mod.

 

Looks like my manual download is ok, everything works, now. My JTAC and AWAC menu works.

 

There are other missions available to the DCS Users files stash.

 

Also posted my top of thread message to the Mod and Apps forum, in the DCS Mods sub-folder forum and nobody has bothered to leave an answer.

 

I left my results to this forum.

 

Thanks for creating this mod.
