bunraku Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Hi Did quick mission 1 and the JTAC is supposed to be on 131.00 AM. Also just did a training mission someone made with the JTAC on 30.00 FM. Both times I got no response and I assume it's something to do with the radios. The Radios are on TR and I switched between AM and FM for the respective missions and nada. So what am I doing wrong? Much appreciated for all your help.
Dahlbeck Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Are you using the correct mic switch command (forward or aft depending on whether you want VHF FM or AM, down for UHF)?
sobek Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Sometimes he's busy with other stuff and takes a while to respond. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
bunraku Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 Hi. Sorry, but it has to be more than having to wait. 2 different missions. One is the quick mission that comes with the sim and the other is a JTAC training mission. Seems unlikely. I'm pretty sure it's radio related although I'm on correct frequency, modulation and Mic switch.
nsksleeper Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 not sure if the quick mission sets the right frequecy, had it a lot that there was an other freq than i expected. Please try to take a look in Mission Editor (ME) to check the right freq is set, or try standard freq (had this some times) hopefully that works lg Markus
marluk Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Maybe he is not in range or radio is not correctly configured? ...Also you must press correct Mic button before transmission. On TM Warthog there is 4 way mic switch on throttle. Different switch direction, different frequency range. (AM, FM, UHF) ... and try to put radio on MAN, not AM or FM.

DAZnBLAST Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Remember which radio is which. Closest to throttles: VHF AM Middle radio: UHF Furthest from throttles: VHF FM Hope this helps.

bunraku Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 Thanks for all replies. I assume if I am flying and the radios are set to T/R they they are on and there's no power button?
TonyZ Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 You must make sure all previous targets are destroyed at all previous waypoints before JTAC becomes active. It definitely works in this mission as I have flown it many times and had no problem. Try the mission with easy radio assist set to see if it is a radio problem or a mission trigger problem. Do you get the voice message saying that you should contact JTAC to hit the target at waypoint 6. If not then you may have missed a previous target at a prior waypoint.
bunraku Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 Yeah I get the message and the radio frequency. Strange!!
Yurgon Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I just flew the Quick Mission "Easy - East Georgia - Spring" and had no problem contacting the JTAC at waypoint 6 IIRC on 131 AM. Can you upload a track? If you have the same problem in a JTAC training mission, it would be cool if you could use that mission to quickly demonstrate the problem and then quit so the track remains short and we don't have to watch you destroying all kinds of targets before you're allowed to contact the JTAC. :) (If you want to/need to record a track from the quick mission, you would have to select "Mission" from the main menu, not "Instant Action". Then within "Mission", select "A-10C Missions", up one folder and then select the quick mission from the subfolder with the same name; after the flight, you can then choose "Save Track").
McBlemmen Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Maybe easy comms has something to do with it , i know it messes up the campaign so you never know
Catastrophy Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I thought it was broken atm? No, it's not - I confused FM and UHF - I've always thought they were just synonymes for the same thing.
