No flight reports from friendly P-51Ds

[SFC Tako]

Can anyone please verify if they get flight reports from friendly Mustangs?

I've tried old missions and made new missions with groups of 4 friendly Mustangs after this update and it doesn't seem to matter if we have the same exact frequency set - I don't get any flight reports anymore. I DID get that before.

I've even gone so far as having them set their correct AM frequencies manually in the MissionEditor (under commands) but still no reports.

I DO get flight reports from Hueys though if I set them to manually tune in their frequencies to my AM band...strange?

 

I've also verified that I'm using stock files, I've disabled "friendly flight reports" under options, shut down the game, restarted, enabled...shut down, restarted...

Anyone, please have a go at this :huh:

 

This worked just fine before the update today.

Hey Tako,

 

I am getting friendly flight reports. Just depends on the channel. I'm not sure which but I get their chatter with the tower and also chatter when they are on targets on plane to plane channel.

Well, then it works just fine for most users, I hope. I'll try to sort this out on my end when/if I have time for it.

And BIG THANKS for taking your time with this Gunrun :thumbup:

Aaaaand here's an update!

Got tired, put in three separate full flights of four Mustangs circling over three separate airfields with a load of waypoints, all at their separate airfield channels...AND NOW IT WORKS!!!

I'm totally clueless here :joystick:

 

Well, not totally - been working the lua-file for carrier operations and I've used french aircraft together with the american carrier (just asking for trouble LOL). As of now I've switched over to making an all american carrier-mission and now the flight reports work just fine again. But there's one strange thing missing: earlier I got "naval" radio talk from american Mustangs when they took off. Funny thing is I can't remember exactly but it was something like "Springfield One off the deck" or "Colt Five, off the ramp"...but it don't matter much, I get the regular reports now. When a full flight of Mustangs are off the deck I get the message that they're airborne. Not bad, I'm happy again.

 

Now I just gotta make some Cuban skins and we can play "Bay of Pigs - part 2" :book:

I'll put in some funnies: company men, cuban exiles, lots "cloak and dagger"-stuff...it's gonna be shady as hell ;)
