Viluah21 Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 Hey lads! Yesterday, trying to setup a custom mission in the mission editor I came along a problem - the wingmen I added weren't fully functional. They did indeed follow me but didn't follow any of my orders (formation orders, reconnaisance orders and such) and did not even bother to reply. Anyways it might be a problem of misconfiguration. All I did was adding another AI Black Shark to the group, but I did not find any other options such as assigning them as wingmen. Anyways, is there anyone who could help me out with this trouble? Thanks in advance, Viluah21

Thanks in advance, Viluah21 Following units are just following you, nothing else Try to increase the numbers of the unit, "1" of "1" Increase the last number to how many wingmen you want

cromhunt Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) Just show you what kind of actions editor are featured.Now if you add a wingman these functions are usable with it. Select your wingman and open menus shown my firts post. Activate "follow" to your wingman (altitude and distance as you decide)and point out the stuff that it will have to follow:your aircraft. select formation and actions that the wingman have to do while flying. give it a try: your mission redo: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wfhabv4okgf05q7/KA-50_Memes.miz?dl=0 will see that your wingman following you.With editor it remain to you point out what actions you need wingman to do. send a MP if you need more accurate infos see you Edited April 26, 2017 by cromhunt

Then are you on the same frequency? Yep same frequency on both player and wingman.
jeff_peters Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 Bump, no solution found yet. Make sure to use RAlt (plus) \ to open the comms menu. The \ key comms menu doesn't work in flight.
Viluah21 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Posted June 4, 2017 are you using intercomm or the other comm menu? Intercom
Viluah21 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Posted June 4, 2017 Make sure to use RAlt (plus) \ to open the comms menu. The \ key comms menu doesn't work in flight. Aware of that, thank you for the solution suggestion.
jeff_peters Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Aware of that, thank you for the solution suggestion. Ok, tried the Shark after some time and everything worked for me. Step by step: 1 Verify "easy communication" in the Options menu is turned off (not ticked) 2 Quickly created a mission with 2 Ka-50's, me in the first one, second one wingman set to AI. Left the comms frequency at default 124 MHz AM. 3 Started it up, turned on all the radios, verified AM/FM switch in the AM position, tuned 124.000 using the wheels, verified radio selection knob was turned to VHF(2). 4 Took off, wingman messaged me that he was rejoining formation, gave a few orders using the RAlt (plus) \ comms menu (change formation, hold position, rejoin etc.), wingman always responded and obeyed. If this doesn't help, try repairing your DCS World installation.
Frederf Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 I flew this .miz posted in #3. Started, took off, wingman heard no problem. Are you using easy comms? Easy comms are doing some weird things lately like turning away from correct frequency automatically.
