Limaro Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 Hi, since some time now I am wondering about the COMM Systems from the F/A 18. I've read that actuall the two comms would work identically. However, using COMM 1 does not really work in my case. Setting the frequencies, and then pressing the COMM1 button, the expected one is still greyed out. When "overriding" this grey state, it is set up in the COMM 2 (Manual mode). Am I overseeing something?

Diesel_Thunder Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 AFAIK both radios are identical. What COMM1 button are you referring too? Normally one selects the active radio by pulling the correct radio knob (the one you use to select channels) out and releasing, using the left mouse button.

Once you disable "easy communication" there will be no more grayed out airports/ships but both radios work identical.
