Heli pad not answering

[Reflected]

I set the heli pad's frequency to 251 Mhz. This is my radio panel. I request takeoff, and he never answers. What am I doing wrong?

 

[razo+r]

try put 251 in the upper VHF or how that is called in, and see if that helps

You can't put the VHF AM to 251MHz. But the problem might be that in DCS the ATC folks insist on using the VHF band, despite the airbases having listed secondary frequencies.

A-haaa! Thanks!!

I realized UHF is for air to air comms, VHF is for ATC.

Place a FARP Command post near the FARP, it should work. You can find it in Structures.

 

BTW, you can use both UHF and VHF to communicate with ATC, aa well as for air communication.

Thanks, now I managed to talk to the FARP, but a new issue surfaced: I ask for permission to take off. I get it, then I lift off to a hover, turn into the wind and off I go. When I come back, and try to contact the FARP, the only option is "abort takeoff" as if I still haven't taken off. Why is this happening?
