Kailux Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 The INTERCOM button click functionality is broken in general. Radios are interchanged. To communicate via intercom, you have to actually click on the screw that is labeled "TRÅD". The Viggen manual (from this thread) describes this on page 231 as "omkopplare TRÅD" which translates to "switch wire" - i guess its either some kind of circuit breaker or used for maintenance. Maybe a native speaker can help out here. When clicking that TRÅD screw, the button labeled SM (described as "SM-omkopplare FR 24" in the linked Viggen manual on page 231, apparently the intercom/FR24 button) to the right is animated being pressed down (also bugged, parts of the button go through the panel surface having the panel clip through the button. See attached image). When having the intercom button bound to a HOTAS button or using a keyboard bind, the incockpit SM button stays in depressed position regardless if the button was released. When clicking the TRÅD screw, this does not happen. FR-22 and FR-24 are interchanged in the controls. The above linked RL Viggen manual states the left console intercom (SM) button as FR-24. The button on the stick (number 15 on the page 231) is described as "SM-omkopplare FR-22. In the DCS controls, the SM button is called FR-22, the stick button FR-24.Viggen Intercom button bug.trk Gone for good.
renhanxue Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) The TRÅD "screw" is actually a transmit button (push-to-talk). When the aircraft is parked on the ground, the flight line mechanic can hook you up to both his own headset and to the air base's wired communications network, "slingan" (assuming you're on a Swedish military air base that has that system, of course). To talk to the mechanic you just talk into the helmet mic - the connection to the mechanic headset works just like a telephone. To transmit on the wired network though (that is, to talk to ATC, an intercept controller, your wingman, or whoever else is hooked up to the local loop without breaking radio silence), you need to press and hold TRÅD. Most of this isn't really relevant to DCS of course since wired communication local communication isn't modeled or even meaningful - radio silence isn't exactly a thing. IIRC a dev said somewhere they made TRÅD open the crew chief menu instead even though it's unrealistic. Don't remember the details though. TRÅD just translates to "wire" btw. SM-omkopplare means something like "send/receive switch" (SM expands to sändning/mottagning). Edited January 16, 2020 by renhanxue
