Coug4r Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Shouldn't a late activated Awacs or tanker show up in the radio comm menu or should the mission builder call a function/script to make it show up? Thanks - If man were meant to fly he'd be filled with helium.
feefifofum Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Tankers and AWACS are not available on comms until they're performing the "Tanker" or "AWACS" advanced waypoint actions, AFAIK. If, by late activation, you mean the unit is spawned by a trigger, the unit does not exist in the sim world until the activation trigger occurs. THE GEORGIAN WAR - OFFICIAL F-15C DLC

However late activated units to "exist" in the mission, they just aren't active. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Coug4r Posted October 21, 2015 Author Posted October 21, 2015 Yet, i've setup an Awacs triggered to appear later in the mission but it does not show up in the comm menu once it is triggered. The advanced waypoint action is set, as it is by default. Bug? - If man were meant to fly he'd be filled with helium.
Grimes Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Can you attach a the mission where it doesn't work? I tried reproducing it and I was unable to.

flupke Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Are you sure you set up the advanced waypoint action correctly? I had a similar issue, no menu for AWACS, because when you add up a new AWACS, AWACS service is not set by default. You need to activate it by changing the setting in AWACS advanced waypoint action.
Coug4r Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 Not sure what fixed it but now it works, i'll try recreating it. - If man were meant to fly he'd be filled with helium.
TOViper Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Are you sure you set up the advanced waypoint action correctly? I had a similar issue, no menu for AWACS, because when you add up a new AWACS, AWACS service is not set by default. You need to activate it by changing the setting in AWACS advanced waypoint action. I did this, but the menu still doesn't become active/visible. See video: See attached screenshot from mission editor: Grimes: I removed the white "AWACS" task from the beginning and added a separate (gray) "AWACS" task to waypoint 1. Thus the AWACS task should start at waypoint 1, not at waypoint 0 (which seems to work fine). But the comm menu is not getting visible, that's the problem. Reason for my intention is: I don't want AWACS to flood all FC3 aircraft right from the start of the mission with messages of targets.

dorianR666 Posted November 22, 2020 Posted November 22, 2020 Years later and this is broken again. Late activated E-3 will ignore ALL tasks/commands that are part of its initial waypoint. It ignores its AWACS enroute task, it ignores its Orbit task, it ignores its Invisible command. So for now, do NOT use late activated AWACS, its completely broken.
