requested Squelch not set by default

[FalcoGer]

Every time the aircraft is started, the squelch circuits are off and you get blasted by white noise on 5 radios at once every time. Surely that can't be correct. In no other aircraft is squelching disabled by default.

[BIGNEWY]

Do you have any evidence that it is not correct? If so please let me know. 

thank you

Just common sense. I'm sure @Raptor9, @kgillers3 or another expert could shed some lights on this.

The radios will power up in whatever state they were in when the aircraft was previously shut down.

Having said that, for the purposes of DCS, I personally think the squelch could be left on.

The aircraft also spawns with the master volume at 0, so you shouldn't get blasted by static right away. Be sure to only turn up the volume after the radios are squelched.

HMM, regarding the Master Volume set to 0 when spawned- doesnt work like that for me, I get blasted myself if I dont toggle all of the squelch's up immediately after I start the engine.

SRS puts the volume up by default.

AHHH!

I can’t think of a single aircraft I’ve gotten in that didn’t have the squelch on by default. Most Apache pilots don’t know what it’s there for and don’t toggle it. It’s a favorite trick of mine to introduce (or re introduce) the squelch during simulator training, particularly when the crew is doing instrument training I’ll have them tune up ATIS and I’ll give a broken weather brief to get them to turn the squelch off. Once they turn the squelch off I’ll give an unbroken weather brief to them.

Generators come online and switch automatically. Fuel pumps do their magic without human intervention. Auto fuel balancing and anti-ice. But no the squelch is something the pilots have to engage manually....

Irl squelch is always left on and does not reset to off at start.

I have made a request to the team. It is low priority request however. 

thank you
