Questions about ARK-10/R-828 Radio.

[Tarres]

A pair of questions about ARK-10/R-828 Radio.

A pair of possible bugs or maybe are WIP implementations.

The RV-7 switch (Compass/antenna) is not functional:

. - Compass: standard mode of operation. Needle in the HSI points to the NDB radio statation

. - Antenna: allow to hear the Morse code. Maybe it´s the RV-10

The RV-10 switch (Radio/compass) maybe it´s the RV-7.

The RV-10 in the compass position should allow us to see in the HSI the direction of the radio emitter. For example, putting a unit in the ME emitting a signal in 140AM and the RV-10 in the position “Compass”, the HIS needle should point to the station. It´s an R-828 Radio like the one in the HIP and HOKUM

 

The selector NEAR-FAR. CU-92.

This is more a “Wish” for a future real implementation. Ability to be able to set the 17 ARK presets in the ME like the ARK-5 in the MiG-15. The CU-92 allows us to select between the “FAR” (“pushbutton 1-9” RV-08 and “NEAR” (selector RV-37: 8 stations).

Maybe with the use of the standard “beacons.lua” of ED instead of the R_NAV of the module this will be possible.

Furthermore, this allows for a future maps to set the beacons easier than editing the LUA and to use the RSNB/PRMG and the ARK with the associated objects for the RSBN/PRGM and NDB. (If the RSBN in Krymsk is destroyed, you don´t have a signal in the channel 28 on the RSBN, but you have a PRMG signal in the Channel 16)

 

Thanks and sorry for my English.

About the frequency range.

 

The R-802V (mislabelled R-828 in game, maybe a bug) is a VHF/UHF radio. Frequency range is 100-149, 200-399, like the R-800L1/R-863

 

In the game only works in the 100-150Mhz (like the SCR-522 of the TF/P-51)

 

Maybe it colud be better to adapt the R-800L1 of the KA-50 or the R-863 of the Hip for the Fishbed instead of thr SCR-522.

 

Thanks in advance.

The RV-7/RV-10 bug posted above can be resolved with the edition of the clickcabledata.lua.

 

Line 350: elements["PNT_197"] = default_2_position_tumb(LOCALIZE("Radio / Compass"),devices.RADIO, device_commands.RadioCompassSound,197)

 

Line 371: elements["PNT_208"] = default_2_position_tumb(LOCALIZE("ARK Mode - Antenna / Compass"),devices.ARK, device_commands.ARKantenaCompass,208)

 

With this change the ARK "Radio/Compass" (RV7 Radio/Compass) selector is functional. The Radio/ADF of the R-802V it is not functional due to implementation of the ADF Radio signal like the R-800L1 of the KA-50 and the R-863 of the Mi-8
