reported Comms broken? (A-10C II)

[Sn8ke]

Is comms currently broke in the campaign for A-10C II?

[DaveFlies]

It’s been hit or miss for me honestly. 
 

Last night I completed mission 10 after a few attempts. Sometimes the wingman / viper could communicate and I could hear them, sometimes I couldn’t. 
 

wingman wasn’t being responsive to commands either until last night randomly. 
 

ATC unresponsive too until I land then it says taxi to parking

I read there is generic ED issue with <comms + DLC campaign>.
Some affected more than another.
BD said  - upgrade for TEW  will come in the April together with DCS upgrade.
I hope comms issue will be fixed
 

[baltic_dragon]

I am on M16 and have a long list of things I fixed so far, including the comms with ATC, JTAC etc. As @Odessasays, it should be out with the next OB patch. 

[Wali763]

I had it recently, that when there was a call from "Overlord", the correct message was written at the top, but the vocals were those of "request bogey dope" 

[baltic_dragon]

I found a new DCS bug where if random radio transmissions are linked to AI that is not silenced, he will continue to spam his AI "on station" calls over the custom ones. So silencing them for the entire campaign now.

So do the radio calls work with the old A-10C and old radio does anyone know? I just tried mission 2 with the A-10C II and I got to the 2nd waypoint and I was on the correct frequency and pressed spacebar but nothing happened.

[Odessa]

I have the same issue with "old" A-10C. I am waiting for April's upgrade.

[baltic_dragon]

Yep! Just finished working on it & going to submit to ED shortly. All should work like charm now!

[jib]

Hmm I still don't seem to be getting radio information after the patch, on mission 2 I'm going to wp 2 anchor in my A10-C II with my radio set to 56.5 but not hearing anything. Any ideas?

[baltic_dragon]

Yes. Guess what.. in the meantime (ie after I finished working on this mission) the core code in DCS introduced a new bug which killed all the communications on FM sent by airborne assets (or maybe it is on purpose, not sure). So in M2 you won't hear the comms from checking in with Prowler to the moment when they enter Bravo 2, after that everything works OK. Sorry about that, love situations like this... 

EDIT: it looks like it is an intended change - aircraft that do not have FM radio cannot transmit on FM frequencies anymore... I'll have to update this mission and check others if that doesnt happen somewhere else. Guess I'll need to prepare an overhaul of an overhaul

Aww no what a nightmare, well I'm glad I checked it wasn't just something I was doing wrong. Good luck on fixing that for the next release!

[zaphat]

Not sure if its the same for the 2 hinds in M01.

It might be only me though... (I can mav 5 targets in one run through clouds at night with one engine running, but ffs i can't figure out the radios. Flying over an SA nest is a lot less stressful than trying to figure it out whether I am on the right frequencies on the right band on the right radio. Nobody is talking because nobody is talking, or because I messed it up again.)

I hoped it would be better with the new radio, but it seems worse. :(

[t-stoff]

I was starting mission 2 and everything was really quiet on the startup, does this campaign has the usual comm checks / comms with ground/tower, wingman, taxi? or just mid mission chatter?

thanks for the effort this ad hoc bugs must be super frustrating to deal with.
anyway, excited to put my knowledge to the test after Iron Flag!;D

EDIT: just a hint from some one who has played?

Sorry, it was my bad after all, M01 is fine from start to end. IF you end up setting your radios correctly.

Thanks for the great work BalticDragon, I am curious how the story will unfold.

Good day Baltic Dragon.
Could you please clarify one thing?
All these "comms fixes \ new ED features +bugs\ new fixes"  - all of that is related to Open Beta only.
Correct?
Just waiting for Release to play your campaign again and start thinking to install Beta for that
ED does not says when we will get next release.

[baltic_dragon]

Yes, only Open Beta and only A-10C II obviously (as only it got the new radio).

Thanks, I hope next ED Release will work for pair "old A-10C+ new TEW" as well :)

I whish I new this before spending these precious weekend hours on nothing.
I really want to enjoy these excellent campaigns of yours.. Any time estimate for a fix?

Everything works for "A-10C 2" for me.
Only one thing - check and switch manually FM \ AM mode to make all comms work.
