Airbase ATC Radios

[cptmrcalm]

Hi there.

 

Are all radio communications to ATC implemented for all the airbases?

 

I was trying to communicate with Al Bateen airbase and the only option I got was f11 parent menu or f12 exit.

 

So I took off and landed at the nearest airbase, Al Dhafra. (forgive spelling. I am not looking at a chart right now. just from memory) and again, only those two options.

 

I double checked the frequencies and all seemed ok. I am not using easy communications.

 

It was at a time I was learning the advanced radios and discovering the comms 1 and 2 Push to talk button I didn't know I needed.

You can imagine that I had everything set right - but it turns out these two airbases wouldnt talk to me.

 

I hope its something I am doing wrong? (which is more than likely)

Yup. Its me.

 

For those experiencing the same thing, its a limitation on the ATC system.

Oddly you have to shut down and then fire the bird back up again to talk to the ATC for start up, then taxi and then take off.

 

Bit odd that you are unable to communicate with the tower until you do this after landing - but hey, if that's the way it is....

 

 

Maybe they will "fix" this with time.

 

Hope this helps someone.

 

 

ps. just read my first post and failed to mention that it was after landing. Sorry about that.

Sounds familiar to ATC issues with FARPs. After takeoff, can you contact the same tower for azimuth and inbound?

Same issue. Did you solve it?
