Radio dials don't work in Multiplayer.

Does anyone know why my radio dials won't work in Multiplayer, but will work in single player offline. They are stuck at something like 129 in Multiplayer and when I try to move the dials they just flick a little and stay the same number.

It has to do with the mission builder's settings. Open it up in the ME and take a look by clicking on the little check mark just above the green FLY button. This will bring up a list on the right with 3 columns - options in the middle and "Value" down the right, which is basically whether or not you have selected the option to be used, and "Enforce" down the left side, which determines which options will be enforced for all players in a multiplayer mission. Look for "Easy Communication" down at the bottom of the middle group. If it is checked on both sides, this eliminates the requirement for folks in the modulal a/c, such as the Mirage or A-10C, to dial up a specific radio frequency for ATC or a tanker, etc. If they are not checked then those aircraft with radios installed that can be tuned, must be and those that do not, such as any of the FC3 a/c, will work with just using the menu system.

@AG-51 - Thanks for the reply, but this isn't a mission I am hosting or have created. I get this when I connect to an online server. The server in question is the Virtual Aerobatics server. So are you saying it's because they have it set to not use radios manually. I'm sure I can set them in another aircraft like A10C on the same server.

That would be my guess Crunchy. Are you able to communicate alright just using the radio menu?

FYI with easy comms, you should be able to move all the animated cockpit elements, just that they snap to the "correct" values when you actually communicate.
