solved No JTAC menu available on any JTAC missions

[Cheezemad]

Hi Team,

Like the title says, I cannot get any JTAC options in either traditional comms menu, or using VAICOM.  I initially noticed it trying to fly the LGB training mission for the Harrier.  No missions appear to work in either the standard or beta clients.  I have tried user created missions, and even built a super simple one in Mission editor.  When trying VAICOM, after "Playtime xx minutes" call, it says awaiting additional input.

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Cheeze

A few tests later: a pilot with no ordnance nor cannon won't see the JTAC in the comms menu (confirmed with bare AV-8B and AJS37).

Please check attached track. You should be able to see JTAC Axeman and talk with him on 133 AM.

Hi Flappie,

Thanks so much for that.  I was able to get it to work with the comms menu.  For some reason the VAICOM Pro flow doesn't work the same way.  When I try reaching him with Vaicom using the initial "Playtime xx Minutes" call - vaicom states it recognizes the call, but is awaiting additional input.  I can't find anywhere in the documentation what that would be.  All the videos I see just use that phrase.  Do you use Vaicom Pro?

Thanks again!

No, I don't use it (yet).

Maybe VAICOM needs you to set the right frequency before making your call? When testing my mission, have you tried setting your COM1 radio to 133 AM before making your call with VAICOM?

Yeah, I am pretty sure I did - it works that way with all recipients (ATC, AAR, etc.).  Not sure why this part isn't working.  I am new to the JTAC thing so I may be missing something.  I really appreciate the help!

You should ask the question in the VAICOM thread:

Hi Flappie,

Sorry for the VERY late response.  What I found out much later was, I reset my Vaicom Pro, and now JTAC works as I expected.

 

Thanks,

It's OK, and thanks for your precious feedback.
