Nooch Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 Today after tuning my radio to a nav beacon frequency I got a permanent static noise which was impossible to get rid of. It's not the first time that it happens and it definitely seems to be a bug. I have attached a track so you guys can see exactly what's going on. The bug appears towards the end. Thanks for taking a look.f18 radio bug.trk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Nooch Posted June 24, 2018 Author Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) I think I did try that and also changing the frequency on both radios but the static just woudn't go away. I loaded up another flight a few minutes later, tried to tune to the same nav beacon and it worked well that time which suggests it might indeed be a bug.

Jack McCoy Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 I tried your track and took control and got rid of the noise right away. Just put back the squelch. In more detail, if you selected ADF1 it turns off squelch for COMM1. Same for #2. You need to select the appropriate radio and "colon-ize" (i.e. turn on) the squelch again. If still noisy, select the other radio and squelch! i7-7700K@4.8GHz, 16Gb-3200, GTX-1080Ti-Strix-11Gb, Maximus IX Hero, Oculus Rift, Thrustmaster Warthog+F/A-18C, Logitech G940 Pedals.
Tholozor Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Not a bug, switching the ADF switch to one of the radios disables the squelch for that radio, and must be turned back on manually.

If I can remember correctly I did try to push the squelch button but it wouldn't work. Squelch wouldn't turn on. Not a bug, switching the ADF switch to one of the radios disables the squelch for that radio, and must be turned back on manually. Really not sure what's happening here. I later launched another flight, tuned to the same ADF beacon, switched the ADF switch but didn't have to turn the squelch back on or anything. The static noise simply did not show up at all.
