IN latest ver 2.2.5.35461 communications don't work after wheels up.

There is a different button for comms on the F-5E after wheels up. Usually the undesignate/NSW button on your stick.

You have to assign / use the 'UHF Radio Microphone Button', under 'UHF Radio ARC-164 Control Panel, Throttle Quadrant'.

 

'Communication Menu' button is only functional on the ground or with 'Easy Comms'.

- Jack of many DCS modules, master of none.

- Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS.

Not true. See my earlier post.

+1 to Knock Knock for simplest solution. Just map the mic button (located on the throttle on the RL aircraft) and it will work on ground and in the air.

Sorry to carry this on, but that is not the simplest solution. It is already bound to the NSW button! That is the way it is intended to work in real life. See Chuck’s guide (p60) or the manual (p100).

It is. You don't know what kind of hardware the OP is using, so you can't claim anything is already bound to a NWS switch he might not even have. There is one button you can bind guaranteed to work regardless of WoW position, and it is the mic switch on the throttle. Just as Knock Knock said, shown on TO 1F-5E-1 pg 1-34. Why would you advocate using a button that won't work on the ground for comms when you don't know what kind of hardware the OP is using?

Because, as I said, that is the way it is in real life and in the manuals. Normal comms button on the ground, and a simple NWS press in the air. Don't ask me why it is different, ask the designers of the aircraft.

Re OP, yes I made an assumption he used a HOTAS, but that isn't a stretch is it?

Nothing anywhere in any RL manual specifies which mic key to use, nor does it state that the throttle mic switch ceases to function once airborne; it only shows that the NWS will not key the mic on the ground. (If you can find a RL manual reference showing the throttle mic button ceases to operate in flight please post the page number, because I haven’t seen it). In DCS we must key the mic to even get air to start an engine. This means binding a key for a mic switch, and since one binding would only key the mic in the air(NWS) and the other binding (mic button) works in all cases, the simplest solution is to bind a single key to the mic switch. If the throttle mic button isn’t functioning in this manner in the latest version it is indeed a bug.

See all previous posts and manual pages references. It is not a bug, and has always worked this way.

There are 2 ways of using the comms menu here, either

1) bind the comms menu to the mic button (I use push) which works on the ground, and then the default NSW works in air, or

2) bind the UHF Radio Microphone Button to a button ( I use the mic push) and then it works both in the air and on the ground, and the NSW still works in the air.

I agree it's odd, but there we are. Must be a reason.

This is textbook operation per TO 1F-5E-1. What is odd about it? It is a perfectly sensible arrangement, I don't understand what kind of reason you are looking for.

 

 

Edit: Option 2 above is also the exact strategy espoused by Knock Knock in post #3 of this thread that I seconded in post #5.

True, I'm on the same page with the guy who solved the OP's problem 10 posts ago, which at the end of the day is the point of the forum.
