PSYKOnz Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Just an idea, I got sent this from another thing but reading through it I thought that it might be a cool idea for a future beta release. what about adding tomcat specific Callsigns? The a10, f15,16,18 all have them, it would be awesome to be able to set the tomcats up in the editor with proper tomcat callsigns, again just an idea. here’s the link https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_enum_callsigns Tomcat, Tomcat über allen
AH_Solid_Snake Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 As far as I know this "airframe specific" callsigns is a DCS-sim. For navy jets talking to civilian ATC I think its squadron code + modex, so keeping an example using VF-154 that would be NL108 as an example. For talking to the ship or within own airwing you've got a squadron callsign that usually but not always makes sense compared to the squadron name, for this same jet that would be KNIGHT 108. For talking to everyone else (air force, awacs, international partners) the callsign is almost entirely random and non-sensical and changes day to day in the ATO. You could be Frizbee 1-1 on monday and Wheaties 2-3 on tuesday. 1

It'd be cool (but impractical) to tie this to liveries. Eg. if you're in a VF-41 livery you get "Fast Eagle XYZ", if you're in a VF-84 livery you get "Victory IJK", etc where XYZ and IJK are autogenerated numbers in the plausible range. A man can dream! 1
iantron Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 I see where you're going with tying it to liveries. I think you could get more flexibility with having it adjustable like the modex. SC already used modex for comms instead of the tactical Callsign. It'd be neat to have control over both.Technically you can change it mid mission with LUA, but not too unique ones like the OP suggests.
