LupinYonder Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Hi, I'm trying test out all the functions of the Mi-24 radio homing. The mission I have created is for the R-828. I have been following the excelent chucks guide and this youtube tutorial. I have the following questions. 1. I can't seem to get the truck transmitting or I can't pick it up on the R-828 and ARK-U2 2. I have also tried a similar mission with 3 trucks broadcasting on the R-852 and ARK-U2 and the R-863 with no luck 3. As I understand it the R-863 does not use the ARK-U2 but uses the ADF switch on the R-863 panel and moves the HSI Needle 1 ( Like the ARK-15M ADF ) Could you please check my track and mission to see what I'm doing wrong ? Thanks This all stemmed from me being annoyed at getting lost all the time in MP servers and seeing what beacons I could tune into online. I think it's simpler to just rely on the doppler nav system unfortunately. Mi24 Radio Nav Test.miz MI24 R-828 test.trk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiki Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) Set your radio transmission to FM mode. It should work with AM, but if you set it to FM, you can actually listen for tone, that way you will know if your radio can pick it up.

LupinYonder Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Doh! Ok that solves the 828. Thanks for taking the time to help! Now the 852.

Change it to 114.115 AM and my suggestion is to select another sound file, your file would not sound for me. My file works fine, so does compass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeriaGloria Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Yes unfortunetly R-863 ADF in non functional, I have a hunch it is so in the real bird and the switch only there becuase it’s the same panel from another aircraft, like our ADI that can show localizers and glide slopes. What I have not been able to make work but would love, is for R-828 ADF to work for air to air. Sometimes it seems to work for a split second but very inconsistent. It would be nice to use this feature to see the direction from which people on the radio are talking 2 Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
