Any particular mission? Some training and instant missions are glitched and the ATC doesn't respond, but in any user-made ones there should be no problem. I've just tested both Batumi and Gudauta (channel numbers taken from kneeboard page) and they replied fine.

thx for ur test mate. i test it in singleplayer to, no chance... maybe i do something wrong??

[Art-J]

Quite possibly. Is it OK in training missions where the plane is already hot and set up? If so, You're skipping some switch while You're setting it up yourself. For example, is inverter one (right panel) on? The radio won't work without it.

You can always test if the radio is functional by turning off the squelch switch and listening for static. If you can hear static with squelch off then the radio should be functioning properly.

 

The next step is to determine which frequency is ATC and that the radio is tuned to. For example Batumi is 131.00 MHz which is normally radiochannel03 set in the mission editor. This channel is actually the 4th in the list. The list will say "#4 Batumi." The list runs 1-20 while the radio runs 0-19. The 4th channel is labeld "3." Fun, huh?

 

Lastly if you ask the wrong question at the wrong time from ATC it's possible ATC hears it but gives no response. For example if you ask for takeoff clearance with 100m left to taxi ATC will hear you and give silence as an answer. It doesn't say "Negative, Springfield 1-1, continue taxi and ask again at the hold short." It doesn't respond at all despite having heard your request.

i tested it yesterday some mor intensiv and i should do everything right. it does not work in singleplayer or in my multyplayer server.

 

last night i test it also at 104th server and there it works fine! so ther seems to be a bug and i hope Letherneck notice it! :D
