[REPORTED]Radio com issue report

[Exocet]

Hello,

 

 

It's simple, the radio messages emitted by the units from the triggered action or waypoint action menu do not work in multiplayer. The texts are displayed for a few seconds and disappear quickly despite the setting at 60s

 

My mission is complex and can not be played if the radios do not work...

Hi

 

Can you provide a small example mission, I have tested messages on triggered actions and all seems ok in MP for me.

 

If you could show an example it may help me get it reported.

I noticed also "communication" key (\) stops working as soon I take off. While on the ground, I can access tower, crew, and no problems. As soon I am off the ground and try to access \ key, no joy. Can´t talk to the tower, to wingmen. In FA-18 and Mi-8 I use specific radio keys (comm 1, comm 2 in F18, and RADIO/ICS trigger for Mi-8) so I don´t need \ key. But in KA-50, there is no specific radio key, so I have to use \ to communicate with the world (I think it is time to assign a radio button to the game, anyway there is a button in cyclic for this function)

I tried to reproduce the bug but now it does not work anymore ... Here is the mission

This is not a bug, you are in hard radio mode. Place the correct radio button to display the radio menu. (\) For contact with the ground only in difficult adjustment.

Like I said, I´m accessing comms with \ key while on the ground. Everything works. As soon I am off the ground the menu disappears and I can´t access it again!

[Exocet]

Yes it's normal. On the ground this key simulates voice communication. When take off, no one can hear you if you do not adjust your radio freqs

 

try Right alt+ 8 and right ctrl +8

[Direwolf]

I think you didn´t understand the problem here! I am already talking to the tower (it assumes I set the right frequency for the tower, right?) when ready to take off at the EOR. The tower answers me and give me the clearance! I take off, and at the same moment, the menu I was using to talk to the tower disappears. I try to push the \ key again, and it doesn´t work anymore! I can´t access comms anymore. I cant´request a landing anymore!

[Direwolf]

This glitch is happening to other acft, but in the case of F-18 and Mi-8 (the modules I have) I don´t need the comms key \ to access communications. They have specific radios assigned to specific keys (Comm1 and Comm2 for the F-18, and RADIO/ICS trigger for the Mi-8). Ka-50 doesn´t have a specific radio button to access comms. I have to use \ key. And after the last update it is not working anymore, when off the ground!

[Exocet]

If I think I understand. You speak on the comunication key "intercom / direct voice" And you hear all your radios like in a real plane, you can not speak on all radios at the same time.

 

In which plane are you?

[Direwolf]

Like I said all the acft are presenting the same problem. But KA-50 is the worst case, because I don´t have a key assigned to the radio button located at the cyclic (non functional). The F-18 and Mi-8 have specific button assigned to their radio systems. So, in KA-50 is mandatory to use \ key to talk to someone. I can do that while on the ground (requesting start-up, taxi, takeoff). As soon I take off, I press this key \ again, and the menu does not appear anymore!. I can´t contact tower (for landing), wingmen, etc just because the menu is not available in the air

[Exocet]

Ok, try easy radio mode.. But i dont know

[Direwolf]

It´s easy to replicate the problem! Get any acft you have, an instant action mission tha starts in the air, try to press \ button to access comms.

[Direwolf]

Ok, try easy radio mode.. But i dont know

 

I think it´s a bug! I want ED fix it! I don´t want to use easy radio mode!

[Direwolf]

Ok. The problem was related to the key assigned! In sim mode (not easy mode) the key \ doesn´t work! Despite the manual, there is a key assigned to the radio button in Ka-50 (SPU-9 PTT ; Ralt + \), and using it I can access the comms menu. So I learned 2 things today:

1 - There is a radio key to the Ka-50 ( I don´t need to use comms \ key);

2 - In sim mode, the \ key doesn´t work for ALL the acft. I need to have an assigned key to the radio PTT buton).

 

Anyway, thx for the help.

[BIGNEWY]

Correct

 

Comms menu only works on the ground

 

In the air you must use the aircraft's Mic / PTT to access radio commands

[Exocet]

BIGNEWY, you see my mission test?

[BIGNEWY]

Hi

 

I must be misunderstanding, you are using transmit message on a frequency but you have no audio file to go with it. only the subtitle section is filled?

[Exocet]

For test, yes.

 

I think ,the audio file is not required

[Exocet]

I have updated the mission, the problem here is related to MP, you need to test it as a client and not as the host, you will see that host side 0000000000 message is displaying for 60 seconds but for the client it only stays for about 2 seconds so it's very problematic when you need to give coordinates or instructions ...
