Mission 1 Callsign issue

[TicTocRock]

Hoping someone can help out, I have an issue on mission 1, where after starting up and taxing to the hold for runway 05, I cannot get permission to take off. When asking for take off clearance my callsign has changed to Enfield 1-1 and the tower never replies to me, I guess they are expecting Devil 1-2.

I have ensured that Easy Comms is turned off in the game settings as per the user manual, I have tired pressing enter on the UFC prior to transmitting and I have tried re-entering the frequency manually and pressing enter on the UFC, but I always seem to transmit a callsign of Enfield 1-1. My callsign on start up and when asking for taxi is devil 1-2, can't seem to work out why it changes to Enfield 1-1.

Any help  much appreciated. I am quite new to DCS, so it could be a user thing :-)

Are you using the "normal" DCS menu for ATC (the F5 option)?  You need to use the F10 option and the missions built in ATC rather than the DCS one.

Thank you Rob10, I thought it would be a newbie error, I did not realise it was automatically putting me in to the normal DCS menu, so I have to use F11 to back a menu, then select F10 and then it works fine.

That's right, throughout the campaign ONLY use the F10 menu.  The F5 ATC menu, F2 wingman menu etc are all redundant.
