Does that make any sense? I’m in VR and did auto-startup. Loving the immersion but so easy to become overloaded with flying, navigating, communicating … never mind anything hostile happening! Ok cool, easy comms always has the potential to mess up the radio triggers so bear that in mind...but if it's working for you no worries I guess. Yeah task saturation and the pressure that goes with it is one of the the things I love about complex DCS missions, in the campaign I've tried to make even mundane activities like taking off and departure matter, provide a challenge and keep you engaged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackRook Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Mission two, returning to base, cannot contact RAPCON. Tried multiple channels on COMM2, from 2 to 7, and in none of those channels does the F10 menu entry show up to enable me to contact. So if I am reading this thread right, after setting a preset COMM, we have to hit ENT on the UFC? Secondly, it took me a second read-through of SPINS to confirm "RAPCON" is INK Approach on the kneeboard/briefing docs. My two cents: If it is referred to as RAPCON via the audio and text instructions, it might help to have the kneeboard say 'RAPCON' specifically.

Yeah that's right, for some reason the radio trigger won't detect the frequency until you press UFC ENTER, it's not every time and on every preset but it's a good habit to do it every time. Good shout on RAPCON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobragva Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Just purchased it. 1. question: where are located the docs ? 2. I really struggle to understand well the radio message. I just finished the campaign of Badger and didn't have an issue with the comms quality. Any idea how I can improve the sound ? thank you in advance for your answer. Kind regards, Cobra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campaign docs are in your DCS install --> mods --> campaigns --> Operation Cerberus North --> doc. Not a lot more you can do with the radio sound itself, they're deliberately a little distorted to sound more radio like. However volume can be an issue depending on your settings. First make sure the radio volume in the cockpit is turned right up, then look at your DCS audio settings, check your volume levels and see if the 'hear like in helmet' option is checked, play about with these settings and it might help boost the sound a little.

For small drops in score it's likely a deviation from the ATC process, impossible to say what though without watching the mission, first 3 mission score breakdowns are as below, (first 50 points are awarded on mission start). I don't have the break down for mission 2 anymore but from memory you have to stay within the low level route below a certain altitude and then correctly kill the training target with the JTAC. MISSION 1: 15 points ATC 20 points for mission complete 10 points for POS ID on Mig-21 5 points for avoiding SAM engagement zone. MISSION 3: ATC 15 points RTB 15 No penalty flags - too close to Turkish coast or Syrian coast 10 Made intercept 5 No sams launched at you 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRook Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 @ChillNG - In Mission 4, I am apparently talking to Bravo6, but I am not getting any audio back. I am only hearing the pilot's side of the conversation. Everything else is "working" as the beep-text prompts are asking for spacebar confirmation. (Being vague here as to not give out spoilers.) Am I one the wrong frequency? Or do I have a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to find the right frequency Bravo on COMM2 You have to try it consistently 374 500...374 550....374 600...374 650 ....to 375 000, and you will find the right one I'm not write the right frequency here... it's easy to do it yourself.

Am I one the wrong frequency? Or do I have a bug? I'm guessing you must have ended up on the wrong freq maybe, just checked this part of the mission and all worked fine, got all the Bravo comms and full talk on. You must have had the right freq to start with to locate Bravo's position and initiate the talk on (which from w hat you've said I'm assuming you did). Most likely explanation is you accidentally changed freq after, which would give the one sided conversation you described, it's possible there was a line of sight issue with the comms or that Bravo for some reason died/despawned but impossible to say without a track or tacview.

pete_auau Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Question when do you call for taxi after engine start or right after when you call for engine start? Only manage to get taxi clearance once and the other time was on hold at rwy 05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only manage to get taxi clearance once and the other time was on hold at rwy 05. Think the option gets added a short while after engine start (might be up to a minute or so but could be wrong), it gets removed though if you leave your parking space before requesting it. Just watch out if you have to set COMM 1 to Ch2 for your flight comms as the press ENTER bug comes into play then, you will need to change the channel on comm2 and then switch it back to Ch1 and press enter on the UFC otherwise DCS won't detect the radio channel as being correct. See the video in the player guide for an example of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiseki_Yu Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) Hi, GhillNG, I completed the mission 4 with 95pt since I cannot find the T55 mentioned by Bravo 6.

ChillNG Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) I'll put a pic of it's location in spoiler box below. Having just checked the mission to get this picture I've found out that the map has been updated by Ugra a little, the talk on references trees, these are no longer present! The talk on will be updated for the next patch. Spoiler Edited April 6, 2022 by ChillNG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been my experience so far. Once up in the air all is good and I'm playing it in VR which no doubt adds to the load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
