Mars Exulte Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Ok, so I've already watched several videos online, and read through the forums a bit, but something still isn't working properly, so let me describe what I'm doing since evidently EVERYBODY ELSE can do it... Background : This is the first advanced module I've REALLY started getting into, as well as the first time I've attempted both creating an air refueling mission and performing air refueling, AND the first time I've messed with a fancy radio. So, in the mission, I put a KC-135 down, give him a waypoint, orbit, and set freq command to 251 AM along with "begin enroute task : tanker". In the Harrier, using the #2 radio knob, I select freq 251. Default settings for the radio appear to be correct, T/R, etc. Manual radio isn't enabled yet, so I am not messing with any of that. When I call in, he never answers me. Is there a switch I'm overlooking? I looked through the pocket manual and couldn't find anything specific I need to turn on for the radio to work. It says only easy comms is enabled, which I have unchecked in the options (but I gather shouldn't matter).

MasaIV Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 It could be that the Harrier's refueling probe is incompatible with the KC135. Try switching it to a KC130 or an S3 Tanker instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinga Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) Contrary to what you said in the last bit of your post there Zukov. I switched to simple radio commands.I think that what its called, correct if I am wrong. It is in the options menu ,that sorted it for me.

drPhibes Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Have you turned up the COM volume using the small knobs on each side of the UFC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreisch Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 As far as I know the radios are still WIP and do not work yet. Only the first preset channel works. Simple communication will solve it for now. Gesendet von meinem F5121 mit Tapatalk Ugly-Squadron GamestarPinboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarma Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 For the radio, you have to use the comm1 (only one working) but with the preset list 2. And as said, for the Harrier you need to use a KC130, Il78 or S3 to refuel. The KC135 is for A10C and F15 (client flying planes). i9 9900k, 64 Go RAM, RTX 4090, Warthog HOTAS Throttle & Stick, Saitek Combat Rudder, MFD Cougar, Trackir 5 Pro, Multipurpose UFC and Oculus Rift S (when I want some VR), http://www.twitch.tv/zarma4074 / https://www.youtube.com/user/Zarma4074 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 So only COMM1 channel 2 works? I just flew a mission with the S-3 Tanker set to 131.0, and I tried setting COMM1 to channel 13 (131.0) with no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Exulte Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Oh, ok. Thanks for the responses! I will try that and report back! Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog08 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I just went through this exact same issue a couple days ago. What I ended up doing in the mission editor is just setting channel one for both comm 1 and comm 2 to 251...wanted to make sure I had the right one. Went back into the mission, set to channel 1, and the tanker answered right back. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Exulte Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Ok, I got it working now :) Thanks to everyone for your suggestions! Ended with solution being : Use Comm 1 specifically, it appears to be the required device Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
