Fred00 Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I had a shot at this mission the other night, and when I approached the base I got a radio call that a chopper on freq 131 MHz would aid in finding the enemies on the run. However, I couldn't find any way to communicate with this asset in the radio menu. What am I doing wrong?
baltic_dragon Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Hey Fred00. You are not doing anything wrong - the chopper does not work as a AFAC, if you tune to its frequency it will simply give you coordinates of the targets when they reach certain points, three times for each group - which should help you find them.

Sandman1330 Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 On this, just flew the mission, received no information from the helicopter at all. Radio was tuned to the correct frequency. Further, the JTAC at the radar site would not answer my checkin. Had to cheat and use labels to find the targets. However, once I destroyed the mortars, he gave me the "no further tasking" line. Very strange. On a previous mission (the one in the mountains with the low ceiling), I had a problem with the AI JTACs as well - they'd give me the 9 line, but never responded when I called ready for remarks. In that case, it was still enough to find the targets, but I was never officially cleared "hot". I might suggest in future trying to avoid relying on the DCS AI JTACs - too buggy. That being said, I'm still enjoying the campaign. Keep up the good work!

baltic_dragon Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 It seems that the AI JTACS are acting very strangely and this is, unfortunately, totally out of my hands. I will make sure not to use these for the moment in any missions I build! For more information, please visit my website.

Yurgon Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Yeah, I think this problem has been around for quite a while now. I understand ED are hard at work with lots of great stuff, but it's a real downer when missions and campaigns cease to work properly because of such problems. Let's just hope it'll get fixed soon.
