JTAC unresponsive in multiplayer, both ST and MT...


Recommended Posts

My virtual squadron and me noticed a bug in the latest OB. AI JTACs are unresponsive on comms. I tested the same miz in the following conditions:

MT+SP = JTAC responds to check-in.

MT+MP = JTAC is unresponsive.

ST+MP = JTAC is unresponsive.

 

I haven't tested ST+SP yet, I assume that works since MT+SP works.

Would you care to share your miz file, please?

me and my squadron encountered the same issue, in single player or in local server hosting multiplayer mode, I could call JTAC and Tankers, but in multiplayer with real clients, they couldn't call out the JTAC, and a lot of the radio menu are greyed out. Attached our test mission. JTAC frequency from channel 11-18, tanker frequency from channel 8-10.

Same issue , Jonay. Occasionally I can get it to work on MP with a restart but mostly its borked. 

Update: Seems that if you load a different mission on the server then load the desired mission it seems to work more often.

You will encounter all kinds of weird bugs in DCS, just like in real life. 🤣

I've just tested @Jenson's mission above in MP, with an MT client : I jumped into the first Hornet slot and was able to communicate with Axeman31.

Maybe it has to do with server settings?

That's interesting. Here's a mission where we can't talk to the JTAC. He is on 133MHz and we are calling from Apaches.

It does work if we run it as single player. 

It rarely works if we run it as a multiplayer server and never if there are 2 Apaches tuned to the freq.

This is exactly what we encountered in our squadron. Our current solution is never put two JTAC (or Tankers) in the same frequency, otherwise, you won't be able to communicate with them in multiplayer (even if they have different name and callsign)

I ran your mission on my dedi. I tried to contact Pointer21 aboard the AV-8B once in the air, frequency 133 AM, and the JTAC answered me.

Does it work on your end if you're alone on the server?

Starting in an Apache in Multiplayer and running server on the PC I'm playing on: No, it doesn't work. Tuned 133 and nothing.
