nickexists Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I find that in many missions awacs will work for a little while but will eventually stop responding. Or sometimes they just won't respond at all. This includes in FC3 aircraft so radio setup can't be the issue. Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone know what to do about it?
feefifofum Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Hey Nick, your AWACS will go off comm when they are RTB. This may be your issue. THE GEORGIAN WAR - OFFICIAL F-15C DLC
enigma6584 Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 That may indeed be the case. Solution is to have the end point have an advanced waypoint action and tell it to go back to the first waypoint, thus creating a continual loop.
nickexists Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 The Awacs is in an orbit, their radar is on, and there is still an AWACS radio option. He just won't respond.
feefifofum Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 That is odd. Is he under attack? While working on one mission I did notice the AWACS didn't seem to respond when he was in the middle of evasive maneuvers, but I assumed this was deliberate. THE GEORGIAN WAR - OFFICIAL F-15C DLC
nickexists Posted April 12, 2015 Author Posted April 12, 2015 Hmm. It may be that he briefly comes under attack at one point and then just never starts working again.
feefifofum Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Could be. I'm not 100% sure, but I think he may also abort his orbit if he comes under attack, then move on to his next waypoint. If his next waypoint is to RTB or he has no additional waypoints, he might go off-comm. The AWACS task is an advanced waypoint action, so I think at the end of a programmed route he'll stop working. I know that I have one mission where I know he is in no danger, and he consistently performs as expected until he calls RTB about 40 minutes into his flight. Hope you get your problem figured out!

nickexists Posted April 13, 2015 Author Posted April 13, 2015 One thing that I forgot to mention is that Datalink in the su-27 continues to work even though awacs won't respond over the radio.
