How to order your AI wingman?

[moggel]

Pretty noob with the Apache but been trying to fly with an AI wingman and so far it is deaf to my orders. I use the non-simplified comms option, press radio 1 (tried no. 2 also) and order my wingman to go formation or attack my target but I get no reply and no reaction whatsoever. This works fine in other modules (I usually fly the Viper) so is there anything "special" I need to consider with the Apache?

Pretty sure that by default, your flight is on freq 127.5

Make sure to tune to that frequency if you want to send orders to your wingman

I haven't changed freq in the aircraft at all, I just leave it as per the ME freq layout

I've noticed this problem too. Flight members will respond to commands to change formation, but I haven't seen them fire a single shot yet.

I'm under the impression that something is bugged on that part. In one of my missions I tried to set my flight's freq in the ME, but somehow, when in the aircraft, it wasn't set to that frequency. Didn't yet take the time to fully investigate and report though..

Just try 127.500 and see if that works

I will try that. Thanks!
