Contacting Stenns

[Spathiphyllum]

I know it's been covered a million times but for the life of me, I can't get it to work. Could someone, who has enough patience, please kindly step by step, as if talking to a five year old, describe how to contact Stennis (in order to get the approach lights to work), including setting up the Mission Editor?

 

This is what I did - without succeeding - so far:

 

- In the ME, I left the default COM freq for the carrier at 127.500 (modulation AM)

 

- Once in the jet, fully ready for takeoff from the boat, I select COM 1, go to M (Manual) and enter 127.500 and then when I hit my communications menu button, it (still) works, offering me to either "Abort the takeoff" or "Go to the parent menu" or "Exit|.

 

- After takeoff, the above menu disappears and when I hit my communication menu button - in order to report inbound - nothing happens. I mean absolutely nothing.

 

What am I doing wrong?

You should probably be using the 'COMM1' or 'COMM2' for communication, not the standard 'communication menu'. I'd imagine that's the issue.

That must be it! How to use COMM 1 and/or COMM 2? Good catch, and thank you!

Check which keys/HOTAS buttons you have them bound to in the controls settings. No problem!
