So, I like to contact JTAC early, not sure if this is correct in the first place.

 

I have a track where I start in the air (already started via mission editor) and I contact JTAC while I'm about 90nm away. No response.

 

I keep trying, still no response. I get about 35nm away and I try again, still nothing, even when I am 10nm away.

 

Second track I posted, I start about 39nm away, I get a response on the first go.

 

I'm wondering if this is just how it is...

 

Did trying to contact JTAC while further away screw something up? I don't really understand why they don't even bother to respond when I'm much closer.

 

It did seem to work when I first contacted JTAC when I was within 40nm to begin with.

 

Anyways, looking on some insight on this... I'm pretty new with JTAC, so I'm just wanting to make sure that this isn't a bug within my mission or how I'm doing it...

Haven't watched the track yet but are you using the VHF FM radio? Or well, the proper radio to contact him just in case he has another frequency?

 

90 nm is quite far, but 30-40 should be okay. Also have in mind that certain missions might have a trigger that enables the JTAC once you are within an area. So don't take it for granted.

Yeah, radio frequencies are correct, in both tracks, I do the same thing.

 

I created this scenario, so right when JTAC spawns into the game, it is ready to go with 9-line and all that.

 

The only difference is the distance in which I first attempt to contact JTAC.

 

It's just weird that if I initiate the call at 90nm, but try to do it again when I'm closer, I don't get an answer.

 

My best guess is that the game is waiting for JTAC for me to do the second response once I'm in range, but since I've never gotten the first response from JTAC, I will never be able to properly respond to JTAC.

Sometimes if you're too far away they won't respond. I always waited and tried again if they didn't and it worked okay. Though on some missions with a lot of AI talking in the radio JTAC can't get a word in and neither can you.

 

If you consistently get the same results in testing and are doing everything proper then I'd say it either behaves properly or is a bug.
