New player, mission one help.

I've got the awacs at waypoint 2 and expected to escort it to waypoint 3 but all thats happening is that the awacs circles waypoint 2. Is this what's meant to happen, I gave up after 30 minutes of this but if this is normal I'll try again. Appreciate any tips. Thanks.

Weren't you supposed to communicate on the radio that you're ready to relieve the other escort? It's Communication menu, then F10, and F1 Push. Same with Frogfoots.

That could well be it, thanks.

Update on my progress. The comms menu will not open. Doesn't matter what I press or assign to the command nothing happens. So I'm stuck till i can fathom out this problem.

Whatever it is, it's not mission related. I can give you some hints:

- remove any mods you might be using

- turn off easy radio in DCS options

- is your keyboard not standard type EN QWERTY 101? Foreign type maybe with backslash problem?

If that does not help please take it to the appropriate forum like this one:

It's a UK keyboard, easy radio was off. But I got it working using Viacom pro options command. All well now, mission working as you said. Thank you for your help.
