Red Flag Campaign (here M03): Use only green radio for active communication?

[jetsimace]

When I was supposed to actively communicate with anyone, e.g. package Oculus, Approach etc. I had the impression that this was only possible when the green / V/UHF radio had been tuned to the proper channel/frequency.

 

I might be wrong, but when I tried to use Red / UHF instead (while Green was tuned to any other frequenvy, e.g. Main) nothing happened after activating the required trigger (SPACEBAR or "F10" menu entry)...so some triggers had not been properly executed. I wanted to use different channels and retry, but I was unable to repeat the call as e.g. the "F10" menu entry was gone after it had been used/activated once.

Also ATIS information broke up when I switched green from ATIS to a different frequency, even when red was still tuned to ATIS frequency.

 

(Using only green for active communication had been a perfect workaround for me, so I had a lot of fun with the missions so far... :thumbup:)

Hey. The channels are assigned to both Red and Green radios and you can use any of them as long as you are on a correct frequency. Moreover, most of the time you need to be tuned to two different frequencies, as you will be receiving comms on both simultaneously - so using only green won’t work in the long run as you will miss parts fo transmissions and may fail some of the missions as a consequence. I recommend that you fly training mission 10 in NTTR. Radio discipline (correct one) is the most challenging aspect of this campaign IMO.
