bonesvf103 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Couple of radio questions: 1. If there is an ATC with one of the lower frequencies in the FM band such as 74.0 and I tune it with the -182, no one seems to hear me. If I tune their alternate AM band, then they do. Are these lower frequencies not working? 2. If the mission file is written with easy comms and your profile is set for real comms, when you fly the mission, will the comms default to easy or realistic? Thanks v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day. I would have 80 pounds of flesh to eat and a pair of glasses to start a fire." --F/A-18 Hornet pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks v6, boNes Comms settings will go client side unless the server requires real comms. So, if you have easy comms, and the server has real comms, you will get real comms.

Frederf Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 1. Should be but I'm having a similar problem with 38.4 MHz FM not being able to contact Anapa in A-10C2 or F/A-18. Same with Krymsk on 39 MHz. None of the FM ATC freqs appear to work currently. Guessing F-14 is suffering a DCS-wide issue. 2. It depends on if the user-authority (user if single player) has set "use these settings for all missions" or not. If yes, they override the mission difficulties. If not, the mission difficulties are used. For multiplayer the host determines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Ad.1. They do work but not for modern radios. https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/220727-cannot-contact-atc-on-vhf-38-40mhz/ Ad.2. It can also depend on mission setting - does it just allow or force the setting.

bonesvf103 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 Now I'm experiencing radio weirdness. When I play the instant action carrier recovery in Caucuses, I call inbound, they answer, I call see you at 10, they answer, I get signal charlie, etc etc. Now I call and no one answers. Not even a Ball call. I trap and I get "no proper communications" for a grade. What gives? I haven't changed anything, I've used the radio in the same way as I always do. I'm tuned properly and I even checked I was broadcasting on the correct radio and tuned properly. v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

sublime Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I was having radio issues playing as a RIO in MP for awhile late last year ( ive been taking a break since I got sick ) It seemed very frequently I couldnt get tankers or ATC to work in similar circumstances to others here... I believe I have many track files, and I believe I could easily reproduce these problems if asked to. It would happen in SP as well as MP =/ it got so frustrating Id opt to e-z comms in SP.

bonesvf103 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, draconus said: Which mission? Stock Quickstart mission, Caucuses, Case I Recovery mission, the on Supercarrier version. I have done radio calls and gotten ball calls in this non Supercarrier version before. Just did another test. I noticed that even though I am broadcasting with the ARC-159 and -182 mic buttons, the menu that pops up on the upper right always say ICS. I am set to realistic comms. Something must have changed, this problem didn't exist for me a few days ago. v6, boNes Edited February 9, 2021 by bonesvf103 "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

draconus Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 You have borked bindings/controls. Try with clean profile then repair/clean DCS. Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX3060 Rift S T16000M TWCS TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonesvf103 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 I think I figured it out. I am using VAICOM Pro and it was being funky. When I restarted everything including VIACOM Pro everything went back to normal. Sheesh. Thanks! v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.
