[Known & REPORTED] Repeating comms message

[Spectre_USA]

I've seen it in prior releases, and just had it in 1.5 Beta.

 

"Springfield 1 is RTB at 900."

 

I kept checking on the flight, and it continued to repeat after touchdown, and even while taxiing.

 

Lead was damaged and smoking, if that makes a difference.

Same issue with a quick custom mission. RTB message loop (Su-27s | Batumi) (T-O only, no other waypoints, no damage).

[McBlemmen]

Had the same issue in ka-50 campaign deployment mission 1. Message ended after the aircraft that was broadcasting had landed though.

the same thing in custom mission

Guys, I know it might not be new, but even when we post about an old bug in a new version we include all, so logs and tracks please and thanks!

RTB Sound Bug Loop; Multiple Modules

 

I have also noticed this sound bug loop in campaign missions and regular missions in multiple modules. I have tested and confirmed that the issue is reproducible in the Su-27, Mig-29, and KA-50 modules with respective campaigns and missions. It seems to be one particular flight that gets stuck in a sound loop in the mission, and the flight will repeat "[Flight#] is RTB at [ALT]" in Russian over and over again. When other comms come in, the message stops momentarily, but it continues shortly thereafter until the user exits the mission. I haven't noticed this issue, yet, with US fighter modules, but I will post additional information if I find it.

Although not a 'fix'

 

In the meantime you can silence these units to avoid this bug.

 

Goto the units advanced options for WP0 and select SILENCE from the Perform Command tab and make sure you click on the check box to activate it.

 

This unit will no longer broadcast on the radio during the mission.

 

I do this with all AI aircraft in my missions, it doesn't affect the Tanker or AWACS answering calls. You just don't get any radio traffic from AI aircraft, if you can live with that its a good work around to not have to listen / read the same message over and over.

 

I also have my Helmet sounds muted in DCS so I don't hear the radio anyway, its just the repeating text that really drove me mad!

[SignorMagnifico]

I appreciate the suggestion, Maverick. I will try this to minimize the repeated sound bugs until an official fix can be implemented. Thank you for your help.

[Bourrinopathe]

Thanks for the workaround Maverick :thumbup:

 

Here's an additional track with the RTB message loop. Even back to base and parked, the AI keeps broadcasting the message.

The message is not triggered if the player aircraft is not airborne/started.

Thanks for the workaround. Hope its fixed soon - its VERY annoying

Bug most probably in front of a firing squad by now ;)

It has been reported in two other threads.

[Known & REPORTED] Repeating comms message

 

I loaded up World v1.5 and was flying Flaming Cliffs 3 campaign in the F15 and during one of the missions in the beginning (I think it was the mission right before the one where you have to follow the canyon route and then pop up to intercept the migs) there is a constant comms of one of the AI aircraft heading back to base,... it just keeps repeating over and over during the entire mission.

Hi, this is known and reported, thanks!
