leonsilver Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Hello! I've ben trying to fix my problem for days, with not much success. I would like to use the FM Homeing's navigation, but as you can see in the video, I can't. Why? What am I doing wrong? I've tried to do the mission called "Elbrus rescue" which is related to the Huey and it workes perfectly here. Thank you! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Cibit Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Mate thats the ATC call for FM. It is not a homing beacon I will quickly make you a mission and you can see how it is done for future missions :) i5 8600k@5.2Ghz, Asus Prime A Z370, 32Gb DDR4 3000, GTX1080 SC, Oculus Rift CV1, Modded TM Warthog Modded X52 Collective, Jetseat, W10 Pro 64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Adding JTAC Guide //My Vid's//229th AHB
Cibit Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I am sorry the commentary did not record. I think shadowplay must need looked at. I hope that you get the idea from the video. Most units can be made to transmit but you will have to find an .ogg or .wav file that suits your purposes. Open the attached mission with 7zip and you can get the soundfile from it to use again.

leonsilver Posted October 10, 2016 Author Posted October 10, 2016 Thank you very much Cibit! That helped a bit, but it's not what I was thinking about. For every airport there is a certain FM frequency. Anapa: 38.4; Krasnodar center: 38.6; Krymsk: 39.0 etc etc My problem is if I set up one (Gudauta 40.2 for example) and turn it on, nothing happens. Look at this video. After 2:24 the FM starts. It sets up, turns on and finds the airports. That's what I want, I set it up, turn it on, and then nothing. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Cibit Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I believe that is done with same method. The fm frequency you find from the f10 map is for atc contact in various aircraft i5 8600k@5.2Ghz, Asus Prime A Z370, 32Gb DDR4 3000, GTX1080 SC, Oculus Rift CV1, Modded TM Warthog Modded X52 Collective, Jetseat, W10 Pro 64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Adding JTAC Guide //My Vid's//229th AHB
emolina Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 If you look through the comments, near the top, you will see one that mentions that's a mission where he has set up a beacon. The beacon would transmit continuously so it can be tracked. ATC only transmits when they are speaking to you. In the German WWII aircraft you can tune in to the ATC frequencies and see the instruments work only when ATC is transmitting. Does the same thing happen in the Huey? if you tune into an ATC FM frequency, do the instruments work while they are talking to you? My 'Interesting Missions' Generator
Kang Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 I'd be surprised, given how the ATC communication generally uses the VHF AM band. But I know the principle does apply: homing only works during transmissions.
emolina Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 Good point! In the German aircraft the homing is to the same frequency as the comms radio. My 'Interesting Missions' Generator
Cibit Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 I tried last night to call up ATC in the huey using the FM freq given in the F10 map. There was no response, so no broadcast and nothing for the AN/ARC-131 to pick up on. The work around is to make a mission with a ground unit at every airport you want to use with a frequency to match the F10 map and an .ogg or .wav file broadcasting:) i5 8600k@5.2Ghz, Asus Prime A Z370, 32Gb DDR4 3000, GTX1080 SC, Oculus Rift CV1, Modded TM Warthog Modded X52 Collective, Jetseat, W10 Pro 64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Adding JTAC Guide //My Vid's//229th AHB
Balzarog Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 In the mission "Stray Eagle," the ELT homing beacon doesn't work. The CDI needle doesn't deflect at all. I've flown all around the stray eagle after he says he's activating it, but the needle never deflects and I have to find him by the smoke. In the Mt. Elbus rescue mission, the needle deflects. It's frustrating in Stray Eagle. When all else fails, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! i-7 8700K Coffee Lake 5 GHz OC CPU, 32GB Corsair 3200 RAM, GTX1080 Ti 11Gb VRAM.

MadDog-IC Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 In the mission "Stray Eagle," the ELT homing beacon doesn't work. The CDI needle doesn't deflect at all. The stray eagle mission has a missing ELT-Tone.ogg file for the radio transmission on the Pilot (Transmission will not work unless you give it a sound to play). Find attached a fixed version with the sound file. https://www.dropbox.com/s/mnl68mr0v9jjjow/Huey%20Single%20Player%20Missions.zip?dl=0 Regards, Ian.

Balzarog Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Thank you very much Sir! As a Noob in DCS, I need all the help I can get with navigation. I've downloaded your single missions files and will try them. Were there any changes to the Rebel Base and Mt Elbrus Rescue files or just the Stray Eagle?

Honestly, I can't remember if I had fixed anything in the other missions (They are saved in the newer 1.5x format also, the originals are not), so I just included them for completeness. Cheers, Ian.
