Can I reproduce it 100%: yes

 

How to reproduce/ description:

1. Assign keybindings for "UHF ARC-159 Mode GUARD" and "UHF ARC-159 Mode Preset"
   
2. Pressing key assigned to "UHF ARC-159 Mode GUARD" switches radio to PRESET mode and vice versa

SAME. (I almost produced an identical post)

 

Additionally...

 

DCS Version 2.5.6.52437 - 22 July 2020

 

UHF ARC-159 Mode INC cycles between MANUAL and GUARD only.

UHF ARC-159 Mode DEC cycles between MANUAL and PRESET only.

 

I've been working around this since release and its no big deal (there are more important things I'm sure) but figured it was due to report.

Thanks for the posts, fixed internally (fix for the first post automatically fixed the second post too).

Thanks GYROVAGUE. That's good news.

Almost there, but not quite... :)

 

"PRESET" and "GUARD" Pilot Controls Switched, but slightly different from the post above - and I think relevant here instead of separate post.

 

1) The AN/ARC-159 radio display window does not correspond to current MODE selected. [see pictures]

 

2) With MANUAL selected, choosing the appropriate radio option in the ATC window (F1, F2, etc.) will change the ARC-159 MODE switch to back PRESET - in this case 243.000.

 

This was tested on the F-14B_IA_Syria_CASE1_SC Instant Action Mission [DCS_2.5.6.54046 - 26 August 2020]

 

EDIT: Issue #2 occurs only when "Radio Assist" is selected in DCS Options.

Unfortunately we introduced the second bug with the first fix, our apologies. Now both are fixed, but we have to wait for the next update. Thank you for your kind patience.

Last Bug Standing on AN/ARC-159 UHF RADIO

6. UHF AN/ARC-159 FUNCTION keybinds are mismatched.

--a) Keybind for ADF switches radio function to OFF

--b) Keybind for MAIN switches radio function to BOTH

--c) Keybind for BOTH switches radio function to MAIN

--d) Keybind for OFF switches radio function to ADF

 

We're almost there, Mike! Thanks for the dedication HB.

[IronMike]

Thanks for listing them!

That's it! The AN/ARC-159 Modes and Function keybinds are accurate and functional. Close this out, IronMike.

Thank You!
