PRI/AUX radio problem (communication with a tanker and mother-ship)

[Padre Pio]

Good morning to all! I am not sure, this issue was raised here, however I can see very common problem for R1 and also the other compaigs, which are radio trigger based.

 

The problem appears, when I have to use F10 standard command menu. Usually in 2 cases (during re-fuelling and during carrier recovery). Of course easy-comms are off in my settings.

According to briefing and in-flight advisory comments, I am setting the left radio for the tanker or the tower. It would be OK if the command from F10 menu was transmitted from the PRI (left) radio. But as I can see, F10 sends always from AUX radio which is usually set for a flight members or strike or sth else.

 

Of course the easiest way is to swap the settings between radios, but here is another problem: pre-sets for AUX are totally different than PRI in Raven One. Even when I find the proper AUX preset on the kneeboard, it appears that Mother or e.g. Texaco has a different freqency assigned (for PRI channel or for AUX channel). The only thing I can do to make them working is setting AUX to manual, enter the frequency from PRI kneeboard list and then use F10 menu.

 

It is not problematic for me, but I suppose, this is not the way as the campaign was designed. Was it always, that F10 uses AUX for communication? or has it changed? If it has, the kneebord presets should be edited, I think.

Hey @Padre Pio - AFAIK for F-10 menu it doesn't matter what radio you are tuned to, it just fires a flag. You will hear the message on the correct radio, and it is up to you how you want to manage the radios you are currently listening to. Unless something changed in the way triggers work, but I haven't noticed that.

Dziękuję

I will check it once again, however I tried different configuration and it only worked if desired frequency was set exactly on AUX. I also tried with 'easy comms' before and it was working but not always. Even then, the proper frequency was set automatically to AUX and transmitting from AUX. I saw the similiar situation  2 months ago while flying "Eastern Friendship". Sedlo had set "simmetrical" channel presets for both radios in his mission. It was said to use Ch15-PRI to contact the tanker. However, I had to set also CH15-Aux to make the tanker crew responding. Maybe it is something with my settings (no idea wihich and where), maybe some changes in OpenNeta (using the lates one).

Hm wait, we might be talking about two different things. In the campaign both marshal and tanker is treated via the normal radio menu - and not F10. Could you send me a track file showing the problem?

Oh, sorry, it is mistake of my writing in hurry. Of course I was meaning normal menu (with ATC and Tanker submenus). Those "F10" have just stuck in my head because it's often used in your campaign.  

 

As I looked once again at kneeboard-radio-charts from previous missions, the fraquenices were rather ok. My problem was, that they were set on different channels for AUX in comparision to PRI. However it does not change a fact, that I am forced to contact Marshall or Tanker using AUX selection. I will save trk after I fly mission 8 (or some part of previous missions) and try to reproduce the situation clearly.

Sorry for delay and generally for disturbing, but it appears it was my fault generally.

 

Since half of the year, as I started with DCS I 've been living in far unconsciousness according to the radios handling.

 

I was always using  RCtrl + '\ ' for the radio menu, thinking that it was the only one combination. In fact it would,  when you were using easy comms.

While watching different movies I accidentaly noticed, that there is also RAlt + ' \ '  key-bind for PRI - radio.

 

Since now everything is clear  Once again sorry for perturbation and big thanks for the will of help. I really enjoy the campaign, now after Mission 10.
