Lithion Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I'm noodling around setting up a little wild weasel mission with some enemy are support and I just can't seem to communicate with the AWACS I set up Any tips? Ive got him loitering around Vegas, ive got his freq as a preset in my F5 and when i go to hit F7 nothing happens. Hi, I don't know much about the F-5 or it's radio presets, but from a mission editor's point of view: Make sure the AWACS is actually 'on mission'; check the waypoint where you want him to start, and press: -> Advanced (Waypoint Actions) -> Start Enroute Task -> Action (AWACS).

Nosferatuwhisky 1-1 Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 I’ll have a check and if it’s not what Lithion says, I’ll upload it. If the mission even is compatible with 2.5 haha it’ll be after the change over by the time I can check it out again. "Chops" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moespeeds Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 How did you make out with this? I've built a mission with an E2D AWACS and he isn't automatically calling out bandits. It's working fine if I call him myself, but how can I get it to call pop up groups and such?

marques Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I don´t know if thats a bug or that the editors in my virtual squadron are missing something, but since 2.5 we are having the same problem with f-5,s and AWACS with two different missions made by two different people. As you describe, you go to comms menu, f7, choose the corresponding awacs, try to send whatever request and the request is not sent (you don´t see your mesage going out in text and voice, as normal) and therefore the AWACS does not answer.

Are you by chance using the "easy communications"? I've noticed when using easy comms with the F5 that the AWACS radio option is initially blacked out. The first time I select awacs and send a request it doesn't do anything. However, the second time, I go to comms the awacs menu is now white and will operate normally. I think this may be a bug with easy comms or the f-5.... Or, I'm just an idiot and don't know how to fly or talk...:pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, the awacs menu was there, you could choose an AWACS and request, for example, tactical picture. The problem came afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
