Does the Radio work yet for

Contacting ATC? I know this is beta so maybe it doesn't work yet?

I think I've set the freq and have the generator running. I can hear static but no response

Here's a thread discussing it. The radio you are tuning is the ADF, the ATC radio is the back one that has 18 positions on it.

It works... Turn radio on and then use rotary wheel to switch to the airports number (1, 2, 3, etc).

 

An example:

 

Gudauta has frequencies 130,00MHz, 40,20MHz and 259.00 MHz. In the mission editor select your Sabre and then the 'antenna' tab (far right). There you can see which frequencies are set to which number on the rotary wheel. So in order to contact Gudauta ATC the 259.00 MHz needs to be in the list.

The only thing not working is the ATC menu text becomming white when the correct frequency has been entered, but they still respond.

Also, be aware of the other bug with the comms menu in flight.

 

Just pressing \ doesn't seem to work off the ground, pressing right-alt+\ (microphone key in bindings) does bring up the comms menu.

Yea, that's a little bit of a pita, always have the \ mapped to HOTAS and now they added an additional bind that only works in the air. IMO should stay the same as all the other modules unless there's a reason behind it.

It is the same as other modules, they've not added an additional bind.

 

P51, TF51, KA50 and Huey all feature ralt+\ to trigger their microphone/PTT buttons.

 

There just appears to a bug with the F86 where pressing \ in the air doesn't work properly like it does in the others.

That makes sense, never noticed it in the others and would explain why. Had to look at my bindings and see it there on the others.
