Derbroomaster Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Basically the title. I've tried doing the startup procedure with Biff and on my own and either way I end up not hearing his instruction at some point. After 20-30 seconds I'll be prompted to do something that more often than not does not help me progress. Very frustrating and I'm already sick of hearing the (well done) opening dialog.

Dermax1 Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Sounds like you might not have the radio tuned to the right frequency? Although Biff's initial call is on the UHF radio, very early in the mission he switches to 33.000 on the FM. The voice acting goes on whether or not we're on the right frequency. The "do this popups" continue whether or not we can actually hear the instructions. I'd double check that your VHF radio is on (TR) and set to 33.000.

baltic_dragon Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) OK. Do you have your engine ON and APU running while using the FM radio? I'm pretty certain there is a user error involved (radios can be quite tricky, and it is entirely my fault that I always insist of using full realism with radios, no 'sound to all' thing). We'll sort it out. Perhaps you could post a track so we can check what is happening? Also - make sure FM is set to MAN mode.

Derbroomaster Posted June 6, 2022 Author Posted June 6, 2022 I've taken all suggestions and still nothing. I find this very frustrating. Even skipped to the next mission. To have the use of the campaign so severely hampered by something as simple as radio tuning is pretty petty, in terms of mission design. I've easily wasted 5+ hours getting radios to work. That's nuts. Caveat emptor to whomever else may want to buy this campaign. I keep hearing how good BD is at campaign design, but if this is any indication I'll be steering clear.

Yurgon Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 Like BD already said, can you post a track? That would help us help you. Start the mission, then after the problem becomes evident, quit the mission, hit "Save Track" and share that track file with us. There's a good chance we can either tell you what to do differently, or identify a problem with the mission or DCS that can then be solved for you and everyone else.
unnox Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 I think you are the only guy who have problems with this excellent campaign. Lookup the manual on how to use radios properly. 1 "Sometimes, flying feels too God-like to be attained by man.

sze5003 Posted June 26, 2022 Posted June 26, 2022 The only time I had issues with radios is when I was trying to set them on preset channels and I had not realized BD had already set presets later on during the campaign. Make sure all the radios are in TR setting and check the volume knobs of each radio on the left hand side behind the throttle. You need to also make sure your apu is on, apu gen and gen 1 and gen 2 are on in order for the FM radios to work properly. Also make sure easy comms is not checked in your dcs settings. 1 Asus ROG Strix Z790-E | Core i9 13900K-NZXT Kraken X73 AIO | 32GB DDR5 G Skill Neo 6600mhz | 2TB Sk Hynix P41 Platinum nvme |1TB Evo 970 Plus nvme | OCZ Trion 150 960GB | 256GB Samsung 830 | 1TB Samsung 850 EVO | Gigabyte OC 4090 | Phanteks P600S | 1000W MSI MPG A1000G | LG C2 42 Evo 3840x2160 @ 120hz

I have wasted about 3 hours on the very first mission. Tried 3 times, land and sit on the tarmac off the runway. Biff just keeps circling 10 miles out. I keep hearing that it's an awesome campaign but keep reading of folks complaining about random glitches on just about every mission. I posted my issue a few days ago and not one response........no more Baltic Dragon missions for me! lol Edited August 3, 2022 by bclinton
baltic_dragon Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 Well, even Baltic Dragon has to go for holidays from time to time @bclinton- especially from DCS. Plus this thing is 100% on DCS / AI side, as I just gave Biff a simple order to land via simple trigger, and just can't make him follow it. If it is frustrating for you, imagine how much more frustrating it can be for me - when people are complaining about things that are out of my hands (and often the "glitches" are user errors). In any case, good luck with campaigns from other devs, there are a lot of great ones out there. But you will see exactly the same issues and complaints everywhere. 1 For more information, please visit my website.

Scoop Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 Just tested this mission and everything works as it should, I land Rwy21L and wait on holding area off runway, Biff orbits and lands as he should Rwy21R then taxies across airfield which is normal and has been like this from day one, change to ground frq and follow Biff to parking are, shutdown and 100pts. 3 Asus Dark Hero X570, AMD 5800x3D, RTX 4090 Reference, All on Custom Water Loop, 3600 CL15 XMP, 4xCrucial P5P 2T M2+SSD's, Hotas Warthog, Reverb G2, Latest DCS MT and VR only A10CII and AH64D, Nevada, Persian Gulf, Syria, Marianas, Caucasus, Afghanistan

I thought I would add some follow-up after that last beta update. I tried it again and Biff would circle and never land.....this time I decided to take off again and fly to biff and about halfway down the runway he responded to ATC and advised he was landing.....I went ahead and took off and landed again. A few seconds later Biff rolls in and I was able to complete the mission.
