Open beta 1.2.8 goodies

[lmp]

I'm guessing it's because the antenna isn't tuned exactly or the signal is just too weak. Also, another ADF bug I reported:

Some info

6.3. Automatic Direction Finder ARK-9

ARK-9 Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) is used for automatic determination of radio station relative bearings, air

navigation using Non-Directional Beacons (NDB) and broadcasting radio stations, for NDB approaches and

instrument landings using NDB landing facilities.

Working frequency range of ARK-9 Automatic Direction Finder is from 150 up to 1300 kHz. Range at altitude of 1000

m is about 160 km.

 

ADF control unit is mounted on the right instrument panel. UGR-4UK gauge is used as relative bearings indicator. It

is possible to tune two working frequencies on ADF. For fine adjustment of the receiver there are two frequency

adjustment handles on the ADF control unit, the handle FINE TUNING ( ) and the signal level

indicator.

 

To select one of these two working frequencies in flight and on the ground a (Near - Distant) switch is mounted

on the instrument panel.

 

To listen to NDB Morse signals set the switch on active SPU-9 (intercom) control unit to position.

ARK-9 is powered through PO-250 converter (115 V, 400 Hz). The supply circuit is protected by and

circuit breakers mounted on the switchboard.

 

To switch on, to tune and to check the ADF:

 

- Switch on and circuit breakers on the switchboard;

- Set switch on SPU control unit to position;

- Set the mode switch on the ADF control panel to (antenna) position and (Morse - Phone) switch to

the position depending on a radio station operation mode;

- Set the switch on the instrument panel to ("Near") position, by the left frequency adjustment handle (on

ADF control unit) set the inner (middle) marker frequency (or other desired frequency), listen the audio signal (Morse

code if beacon is tuned) from the radio station and fine tune the ADF by the (FINE TUNING)

handle, observing deflection of the signal level indicator’s needle to the right as far as possible.

 

For more exact tuning it is recommended to set the signal level two points lower than maximum by the gain control

(volume selector) from the control panel and after tuning the frequency set volume to maximum position;

- Do similar actions by the right tune handle having set the switch to position (outer marker frequency is

usually set here during landing approaches); 39

- Set the mode switch on the ADF control panel to (COMPASS) position, the ADF needle of the UGR-4UK

gauge should show the selected radio station relative bearing (outer marker if set);

- Set switch on active SPU control unit to (OFF) position.

 

To switch off the Automatic Direction Finder:

- Set the mode switch on the control panel to position;

- Switch off the and the circuit breakers.

Hopefully they'll fix it. This thing is fun to use when it works.

 

 

Fixed in patch :)

Hey gang if you havent already go place a group of troops near your helo and check the new embarkation menu:) Thanks you ED and Belsimtek:thumbup:

Sorry to ask, but was there any change in todays patch? Or is it still the same as it was on 1.2.8 release? :)

I don't understand your question ... I mean, read the change log ...?

No, that was relativ to Cibit's post. He wrote:

 

[...]...check the new embarkation menu[...]

 

I wondered if there where any changes exactly on that topic. I couldn't see anything about that in the changelog nor ingame, and wondered if he talked about the embarkation menu using the F7 in the radio menu, or if there was something new (in the latest patch) that I might have missed.

Sorry talking about F7 menu. Just discovered it

Select the Mi-8 in question in the mission editor.

Hardpoints are removable at the "PAYLOAD" page,

additional armor and exhaust coolers at the "Additional properties for aircraft" page,

both in the bar to the right after you selected the aircraft.

 

(Currently) neither is removable by the ground crew within the mission.
