Pls Help ***RADIOS** dont wanna put as a bug bc Im not sure if its just me

[sublime]

i have my front seaters vid easily avail. if you guys want my backseat vid Ill provide on request

the long and short - we can get awacs, but most times the SC doesnt answer. WORSE though, is I nopticed I cannot get tankers to answer me! and this was no exception. we spent a good 15 to 20 min, I quadruple checked the kneeboard and breifing. I tried all tankers . no response. on chat someone said they may or may not have heard one of our calls. 2 other pilots said it worked fine for them bgut they werent in F14s

I reread chucks guide, watched a tutorial again..

Can someone please tell me wtf is going on?

like... I think perhaps Ill have to put my vid in but let me be clear

I tried every tanker. I tried switching the AM / FM button, I manually entered the freak. I know u havfe to use a diff bind for the backseat radio. Etc etc etc. I simply dont get it, and this is a rather major problem. PLEASE PLEASE HELP.

skip the vid until after we eject, towards the very end _ this is one of the worst flights I ever had, but the end is where we have the comms problems prolly last 10 minutes

actually editing messed this up but 1:12 to :120 you can see we were very close. Let me dig out my copy then.

[sublime]

ok this is long but uneditted and my version. im afraid youll have to skip ahead quite a bit...

its too big to upload here. I have it on my dropbox. Im begging for someone to school me correctly on radio usage PLEASE. Ive watched 5 tutorials. chucks guide. the manual. Is this a bug or me?? Someone help! If you want my Track, or tacview , ask for the track I need to share the dropbox with you as its 90 mb.

radio messages would simply be met with silence. tried every tanker even non navy compatible. we also... once heard a tanker but it cut out and it aws switchig channels. switching back immediately yielded nada.

Interestingly, We got awacs updates anyways!

update

flying refuel, fight ,recover, i got ahold of ARCO. the radio worked PERFECTLY, NO EZ COMMS. shortly Ill take same pilot (pulkz) and we'll see online. I did notice that in Refuel, fight, recover the tacan is listed as 71x and its 74x for carrier. thats a briefing bug. IF it doesnt work in MP, seeing as I have proof it works in SP, theres a MP bug on the radios.. which is semi distastrous

This seems to be centered around MP. help?

[sublime]

Bump

seriously anyone help pls??? It works SP so I clearly can use radios correctly. It doesn't seem to work MP and this problem also happened when I flew with ag51 and seems specific to the F14

SOMEONE ANYONE?

Are you using the Radio1 or Radio2 transmit button or the "/" Comms menu?

[QuiGon]

Is one of you the server host or are you both clients?

I have a suspicion from my own experiences with the Tomcat radios, that they might cause issues if one of the crewmembers is the server host. I wasn't able to confirm this so far though.

Very likely. Join a dedicated server like the 104th and try there. Sometimes it also happens that only one of the 2 crewmembers can talk to the AI, so best is that both try, couple times and switch seats.

both clients

This happened on Hoggit

Also happened on a swedish clan server that is up permanently, and my friend got permission for us to use

I also tested in SP jumping to back seat. comms worked fine.

In MP - best I ever get is AWACs responding. NO CARRIER, NO TANKER though.

to clear other doubts, I reread manual, chucks gufide and rewatched many many tutorials. I also know the diff between the arc 159 and 182. etc etc etc

I was manually putting in the Freqs.

also on hoggit a Mirage 2k said he was able to contact the tankers. IT was just us

before I left (or got fired depending who u ask) AG 51, me and my pilot never refuelled, as we always were good at conserving fuel and would just land otherwise.. (Also he hated refuelling, lol) That said, we couldnt ever get reliable SC comms. Awacs? Sure! SC? nope.

Hello sir, glad to finally get some attention.

No sir - first was on Hoggit with Pulkz. I have the track, he has a track. we couldnt contact the tanker. you can also see the chat where another mirage pilot said he could contact tanker.

Ive tried in SP, it works.... in MP NEVER works with SC or Tankers, only AWACS

2nd time was a clan server hosted by 37 strydsvagen or w.e. their name is. swede clan. Jon asked permission and got it.

So both times, it was a permanently hosted server that neither of us were hosting. So no need for 104th, we only were trying dedicated anyways.

2nd, yes we both tried. in the track you can hear me tell him to try himself, with both pilots. we didnt switch seats, but flying seperate sorties with diff men id say is close no? And again.. I can make it work in SP, not MP. Are you guys saying your comms for tankers or SC works in MP? Because if so thats VERY odd, and then I must find what the issue is. Because this is happening to me and others. ID say its my fault as Im the common denominator. Im not perfect and Id easily say - ok must be me. But I mean, i literally started SP (refuel fight recover) and other missions IMMEDIATELY AFTER and comms worked?!

i have a dropbox link to my track. Pulks YT is editted, so doesnt show it exactly well, but you can see us sitting 300 meters from a tanker and trying... but he has music over it etc. I have the entire flight (90 megs) and we spent at least 15 minutes trying

 

 

 

***

 

while youre here O/T - two embryonic bugs - on the swedish discord, ive heard 3 rios complain of problems with lantirn and point and area designate. as in it doesnt stabilize crosshairs, making targetting near impossible. I need to try myself though. Also i brought up before, and its 1/100 times rare, but i do have tracks I could find, the hot trigger sometimes inexplicably doesnt work. sometimes the pilot firing off in acm and flipping switch back would 'fix' it, sometimes nothing would.

hello

Radio 2

but we tried one out of desperation.

I know theres an ARC 159 and ARC 182 and they use different keys

I know you cant contact most carriers or tankers with the front radio

I know how to use the rio pit. just to clarify everything... im like 95% in the rio pit, 95% in front seat. I cant refuel in the F14 thats about it.

the way I see it, if I can contact all these things In SP on full realism without ez comms, for example instant action 'refuel fight recover' and jump in the back, manually punch in the freq of different stuff and it works, but DOES NOT in MP, its alarming

I have the dropbox link available on request for the track.

I mean I know this is a stupid question, but are you sure you use the right frequencies? I suppose you do, but sometimes a small oversight, a decimal, etc.. can be off and we don't notice it.

 

What's odd is, that it seems like an isolated issue, usually if it is a bug or common issue, you get folks who confirm they have it, too. And while sometimes comms can bug out a little in MC, usually on the 2nd try or so it works.

 

Scratching my head here a little... Maybe it is an oversight on hoggit? Not sure how, but who knows. Could you do me a favor and join one of the other servers, 104th, or Blueflag, etc... Actually, maybe try the 104th please, because I have access to server, missions, etc... and can cross check best there.

 

 

Does anyone else have radio issues?

no its not stupid, youre a developer and taking the time to help me, nothings stupid to ask me. I just want this to work, as RIO thats one of my duties! I *WILL* add that even doing say Carrier Quals F14A SC ONLY the carrier responds to the call, the see you at 10, but then STOPS. I have a track of me doing a SP landing. Also jester ALWAYS says 'thats a bolter' when its not. I keep getting weird grades, especially annoying is NC when i definitely was communicating but the %#@% carrier went dark on me. The landing in question was a one off, easy peasy case 1, no bolter nada.

yes Im sure. I checked the briefing, plus we also went on the hoggit chat while flying (its on the track I can link ) and confirmed the freq, and others said the tanker worked.

it works in SP, it doesnt seem to work in MP consistently.

Ill try 104th later. I can bring in the 2 people who were flying when we had radio issues here... indeed I asked them to come, they should have already.

as far as being off on radio frequency remember Im the RIO, Im not telling jester to do it. Im able to see what Im manually entering... and yes I know you use different binds for the 2 radios.

O/T but on a swedish clan discord I got asked about Lantirn and if I was having issues.. again just to put it out there. anyone else? I havent tried it.

it does seem an isolated issue which is why I was begging for help. but for the life of me I cant figure out WTF im doing wrong! I reread chucks guide; your manual, watched tutorials. Worst of all was when i disco'd and went SP and bam it worked.

[sublime]

ok need someone to fly while i test radios ( u cant jump backseat in mp) later today 230 pm est on or any other time

Also attn IRONMIKE - I spoke with one of the pilots. he'll post if you want, but he said that hes had interactions with your team before with the viggen ( he spoke very highly of you guys) and said that you chiming in to verify my experience wont help you as we were in the same plane and it wasnt a seperate experience. I said 'well also so they dont think im nuts' which he lol'd and said you wouldnt be answering if you werent taking it seriously.

nevertheless, if I insist he'll pop in to verify.

Of course none of thats necessary, as I have the track of the worst and most recent incident on dropbox waiting for someone to ask to see

Hi,

So I still need a human pilot. I did go on 104th, and can confirm that the radio *does* work there. However, I still want to verify that in a multicrew situation that it works. But I definitely was able to contact carrier atc and a tanker by using jester and manual freq. input.

But I still cant shake suspicions about whether theres an issue with multicrew. I dont know why there would be versus non, but then again I havent ever had these problems except in multicrew..

On 104th it worked. no idea why problems elsewhere. I havent had a chance  to do it from RIO seat but I see no reason why... it wouldnt work otherwise.

Very strange. I Do need a volunteer (ANYONE?! 5 min to test on 104th!) but otherwise Id say theres no radio bug.  The other thing with lantirn, was Rio error, when I got airborne i was able to figure out what the swedish fellow was doing wrong...  (over reliance on point track, I find it needs hi contrast, I always use area track to stabilize the cursor and aim)

thanks for your replies

(ADD JESTER IFF INTERROGATE!!! PLS!!! LOL)
