Petercove Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Hi, I am attempting to do the A10C Qualification campaign purchased of ED but am having a major problem with the first mission which is a simple start up and taxi. I am at Batumi (Freq 131.0). I have turned on both VHF radios and tuned them to 131.0. Please see my attached jpg. I have unselected easy comms. So I hit \ and then F5 for ATC, F1 for Batumi and F3 for start clearance. But no one answers. I have watched a couple of videos of people doing what I am trying to do and they have no issues. This is driving me batty. Any help much appreciated. Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtraChrisP Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Check your HOTAS commands. Verify your mapping for Mic switch Fwd/Aft/Down. Set up whatever keys/buttons you like, and then when you press them it should bring up the comm menu with the radio you selected. Forward is VHF, Down if UHF, and Aft is FM. Also, check the volume knobs on the radios themselves and make sure the volume is turned up. Hope this helps!

Petercove Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Thanks. I mapped (and wrote down) what each direction on the mic switch did. VHF FM,UM and AM. Not sure what the 4th one (4.250) meant. Also in my photo I had incorrectly set the aftmost VHF radio to 131.00. Changed that to 40.4. Restarted the mission and at request for start up had success with the UM radio on 260.00. Got an answer from the tower. Nothing from the AM or FM though. Also in the mission The instructor requests radio check. I selected "Wingman" but no option for "Loud and Clear or similar". Well some progress.

David OC Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) There should be an option in the radio menu -> OTHER. Correct radio setting, correct radio selected - other etc. Thats generally where you interact with a mission by someone.

Boltz Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Looks like you have the Function control on the left of the VHF radios set to the Emergency position. It should be in MAN (Manual) on both the AM and FM radios. That way you will transmit on the frequency you have entered i.e. 131.0MHz. Hope that helps A-10C Cockpit Build Thread My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petercove Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Thanks. I will check that out. Explains why I only get an answer when I click the mic button down. :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
