[RESOLVED] GCI comms - unable to set frequency (yet changing the AWACS works)

[Stealth_HR]

While making a spreadsheet for radio channels, frequencies and airports I noticed an oddity regarding the MiG-21bis radio channels and the mission editor.

 

If I place an AWACS in the ME, its default frequency is 251 MHz, but it's changeable in the editor, so I can:

 

• set the AWACS on 150 MHz (MiG-21bis channel #1, Авария), or
  
• set the MiG-21bis' radio channels (say again, channel #1, Авария) to 251 MHz
  

and I will be able to call it.

 

On the other hand, if I place an EWR like the 1Л13 or 55Г6, I am unable to change its radio frequency.

It's permanently stuck to 124 MHz which is, by default, both on channel #0 (Рабочий, the wing channel) and on channel #9 (used by AFB Krymsk).

 

Is this intended? Should it really work that way in reality?

I assume not, as each comm source (other than a wing internally) should have its own frequency channel.

 

The first free frequency on the map is 142 MHz - can the EWR be pinned to that frequency?

Alternatively, can it be pinned to 150 MHz which is already channel #1 (Авария)?

I realize channel #1 is the emergency channel and the EWR isn't exactly the right person to talk to on emergency channels. :D

 

Finally, is this even something you need to fix or is this more ED's domain? :music_whistling:

 

Thanks!

You can change EWR freq in advanced settings of waypoint !

So follow waypoint 0 then "advanced" set options, set frequency ;)

I see it know - it's under "Advanced options" > "Perform Command" > "Set frequency".

 

Much obliged! LNS, sorry to have reported an issue that turned out to be a PEBCAK! :cry:
