HC_Official Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Howdy, I am able to use the ARC-15 in both the front and rear seats in the Hind in Single player for radio direction finding (compass dial moves and audio heard) When I get a friend to fly and I take the front seat in multiplayer I cannot get it to tune to a known beacon, the pilot can however tune to the beacon and hear it Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong ? the helicopter was HOT start on an airfield 1 No more pre-orders Click here for tutorials for using Virpil Hardware and Software Click here for Virpil Flight equipment dimensions and pictures. .
SunDown Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Are you hitting the control button on the ARK. It’s kinda in the middle between the two dials. That tells the system which ARK is slaved to the needle. Just curious because I’ve never tried it. Edited July 4, 2021 by SunDown C Co 6-6 CAV USLANTCOM

SunDown Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) Which ever set of ARK dials you want. I think if you want the gunner/operators ARK to work, dial it up and then hit the CTRL button. I think you have to tell the Hind which set (front seat or back) of ARK dials you want to to be in control of the needle. I think Edited July 5, 2021 by SunDown C Co 6-6 CAV USLANTCOM
HC_Official Posted July 5, 2021 Author Posted July 5, 2021 thanks for the advice, I have learned something new This is how the ARC-15 works in the hind SP If you are in the pilot seat and you tune the Arc-15 to an ADF beacon it just works If you move to the front seat and tune the front seat ARC-15 to an ADF beacon it just works MP If you are in the front seat you MUST press the ARC-15 CTRL button to switch the ant to your ARC-15 radio IF the pilot in the back seat presses his ARC-15 CTRL it will switch the ant to his radio So either front OR rear seat can use the ARC-15 , but not at the same time, the CTRL button will switch the ant to the relevant radio it is pressed on @BIGNEWY can you mark this as solved please No more pre-orders Click here for tutorials for using Virpil Hardware and Software Click here for Virpil Flight equipment dimensions and pictures. .

Can the operator take control and dial in a frequency to display to the pilot? Or in other words. Do both needles (front and back) always work at the same time?
HC_Official Posted July 9, 2021 Author Posted July 9, 2021 the needle in the front seat is tied to the front ARC-15 the needle in the back seat is tied to the rear ARC-15 only one can be "active" at a time No more pre-orders Click here for tutorials for using Virpil Hardware and Software Click here for Virpil Flight equipment dimensions and pictures. .

Tarres Posted May 16, 2022 Posted May 16, 2022 Sorry for restart the thread but the behaviour it´s not correct. The MI-24P has only one ARK-15 set with 2 control sets. (Same as the L-39 and Yak-52, different sets but the same concept of 1 ARK set and 2 control sets). Each control set has a control button to "take control" of the ARK-15 set, enabling the correspondent crewmember to dial and control the frequency of the ARK-15. This frequency set by the crewmember is the input that drives the needle in the HSI to mark the NDB position in each cockpit. It´s the same behaviour that works as intended in the L-39 and the Yak-52. So the bug is not resolved, in multicrew when the pilot or copilot takes control of the ARK-15 with his control set, the dialed frequency of the desired NDB must be shown by the HSI needle in both HSI, not set the other HSI (the crewmember that doesn´t have control) as "off" with the needle marking the 0º position. 1

This is slightly off topic but out of curiosity, do you happen to know where the ARC antenna is in the Mi-24?i always assumed it was the flat bottomed dome in between the landing gear wells. As I don’t know of anything else in that compartment. Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com
Tarres Posted May 16, 2022 Posted May 16, 2022 From the cutaways that I’ve seen it seems to be where you’ve said. And only 1 ARK antenna, so 1 ARK set with 2 control sets, one for each crewmember.
