WildBillKelsoe Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I have read the manual, but don't know if setting radio channels 1 through 4 to four different ATCs would work or not. I tried today and couldn't raise anybody on the radio. Also, how do I operate the homing radio? Lastly, the compass is useless! It has about 10 degrees of accuracy range and I don't even know how to use it, except rotate the plane symbol datum inside, match the nose tick with North tick? In cold and dark missions, I have to F2 and check my heading but how to input my current heading into the compass? Its frustrating to fly 370 miles in poor weather then discover I have deviated alot from my heading for a faulty compass AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
SFC Tako Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Hi there, Wild Bill! Setting 4 different ATCs on the 4 channels IS possible but only through the mission editor, NOT while in the cockpit. OK, I guess you knew that already. But then how about using the radio succesfully? Well I can tell you from my own experience that if the mission file you're working on has been used by a totally different aircraft previously, then the radio comms will most probably be fubar. What to do? You got 2 options. 1. Create a brand new mission file or... 2. Open the .miz file with winrar and look for a folder named "radiocomms" or something (can't remember exactly) and just delete the damn thing. Had to do that for all my separate versions of the Outremer-campaign. Then I got the comms working. Homing radio? Never heard of it, sorry. Shady compass? I can't even tell, I only use it for reference. Map reading is safer. EDIT: I'm home now! Here's a shot of the folder I mentioned. I tossed it and then I could redo the mission for other aircraft's radios. Strangely enough, I couldn't find this folder in following missions created from this "mother"-mission. No clue as to why...
