Advanced radio: radio contact to Kuznetsov in Mi-8?

[gulredrel]

Hello,

 

I've created a single player mission in 1.5.6 where player controlled Mi-8 should transport freight to Kuznetsov.

 

How do I set radio frequency for Kuznetsov carrier, so that player in Mi-8 can communicate with the carrier? I can see Kuznetsov in radio menu, but which frequency do I have to use (simple radio is off)?

 

Thanks

Jens

Under ADVANCED WAYPOINT ACTIONS you'll find "set frequency" either in Perform Command or Set Option, can't recall which off the top of my head. That should do it though.:thumbup:

[gulredrel]

There is no such option or command. I only have "set frequency" with ground vehicles but not with the carrier.

There is only run script, script file and immortal and no action.

[gulredrel]

Any ideas?

 

Here is, what I can select. So no option to set frequency.

See mission file attached.

 

 

 

 

Regards

Jens

I'll confess to not having worked much with naval units...perhaps there is a way to set this via scripting?

Could it be that the right tab there is radio frequencies?

 

The script-based frequency change doesn't work because ships are technically bases.

[gulredrel]

Haven't found any frequency information on the right tab. Only units, liquids, supply options. I think I looked up every tab and option available.

 

Don't want to use scripting, except the build in click-and-select trigger system.

[feefifofum]

You're probably out of luck then, if you can't change frequency in those tabs or under the name of the group like for AC...

 

I don't think you'll need one of the add-on scripting packages, probably just a couple lines of code in a DO SCRIPT container.

[gulredrel]

Will something like this work as a simple script in Perform Command?

Set frequency Sets frequency and modulation to the unit's radio or to the radio of each unit in the group.

SetFrequency = {
   id = 'SetFrequency',
   params = {
      frequency = number,
      modulation = enum radio.modulation,
    }
  }

Looks like it's worth testing at the very least! :thumbup:

[gulredrel]

No luck with it. But anyway. It's fun enough to land the Mi-8 on the carrier deck.

Maybe ED will update the ship options in the future.

I'm stuck in the same situation 'gulredrel'. Very frustrating not being able to contact the Carrier's ATC before landing. I suppose you haven't come up with any solution as yet? (or anyone else?) :-)

[gulredrel]

No, I didn't not try something new. Waiting for changes in naval operations, which may come with new carriers.
