Mnemonic Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) [EDIT] Not a bug of a radio, Jester doesn't change modulation (FM/AM), just frequency [EDIT] Hi guys, I can't get radio communication with ATC work on Nevada map, when doing cold startup. It doesn't work in my custom missions, and it doesn't work on the default quick start "cold startup in Nevada". When I start a mission in flight - I can tune in a station and communicate by pressing appropriate comm button, no issue here. Then when I do a cold start - ATC doesn’t respond to a radio request. I tried with and without “easy radio”, I tried from the Pilot’s and from RIO seat. It’s just dead. I turned the radio on and I tuned correct frequency. Eventually I even re-installed the module but it didn’t help. Then I tried Caucasus map, and it worked there without problem, during the cold start - turn on radio, tune in and it works. Again, it doesn't work in Nevada, even on default "quick start" mission, when doing cold start. Edited April 21, 2019 by Mnemonic
draconus Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 Works for me. Instant action mission Cold start for Nevada. @latest beta As soon as I got ground power I set UHF ARC-159 to main, manual, 327,000 MHz and got reply from Nellis.

Mnemonic Posted April 20, 2019 Author Posted April 20, 2019 Magic... doesn't work for me though... Latest beta, etc. Would be glad to figure out why...
Nealius Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 It appears to be a DCS bug: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=235352 Strange considering that it only happens in the F-14....
Mnemonic Posted April 21, 2019 Author Posted April 21, 2019 Wow, but indeed it only happens on a Tomcat. I don’t know if it matters that I’m flying in VR.
Nealius Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 I had the issue on regular pancake screen, so probably nothing to do with VR.
Super Grover Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 I'm sorry that the radio doesn't work for you. However, I've just tried that cold start instant mission, using both Easy Communication and regular radio settings, and the radios have worked. We would need more information to help you with setting the radios up. Please describe all your actions precisely, if possible include screenshots. Alternatively, you could record a video. I'm sure we will find a way to fix the radios for you, no matter if it's a bug or some mistake in the procedures. Krzysztof Sobczak Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/

Dear Super Grover, I sat down to record a video for you and realized the problem :) Indeed communication with ATC actually works, however there is a bug in Jester AI though. Nellis, like many other ATCs in Nevada use AM modulation (not FM), and if you ask Jester to tune in ATC, he tunes correct frequency but doesn't touch this switch: So if you tune in manually and flip switch to "AM" or ask Jester to tune in, jump on his sit and flip that switch - we can talk to ATC. If you trust Jester to tune in - frequency indicator on the front seat shows correct frequency, but doesn't show modulation (which can be wrong)! So if modulation is wrong, ATC doesn't reply (obviously). Edited April 21, 2019 by Mnemonic
