Preset comm channels are no longer set correctly for Normandy 2.0?

[CageyLobster]

I'm curious if anyone else has had this issues with most of the Normandy 2 official campaigns no longer having the right comm channels set up for the airbases? Or, if it's been posted somewhere already?  I am not even really sure if this is something that is just easier for the Normandy 2 guys to fix airbase radio frequencies or all the campaigns will need to change to all the new.  But, currently it's simple things like Chailey is set for 118.8 channel D in the BNoB campaign, but Normandy 2.0 map has Chailey as 119.0.  I assume this is also an issue present in other official WW2 campaigns, but haven't checked any others but the 2 P-51 campaigns so far.

I have just been hitting the mission planner up before launching them to change the presets, so it does have a workaround.

Also, thanks for your hard work.  A lot of things to be happy about for WW2 fans right now.

Thanks for the heads up, a fix is coming!

That’s good news. I was about to have a heart to heart with my crew chief . Now I can just buy him a beer.

Any expectation on when we will see the fix? I was trying to figure out whether there was a problem with the campaign or the new Vaicom release.

I have noticed that the airfield and the flight do not respond during the missions.

Thank you.

Ask ED when they’re gonna release the next update.

By a fix, will that be to the campaign, or the map?

I updated the freqs in the campaign of course. I hope the map won’t change again.

Till no new DCS patch you can edit freq from 118,9 to 119 in Mission Editor button in the briefing window. It works for me.

[Beau1969]

Thank you, both

Example (F on the map, for example you=so player in DCS). Usually in the briefing you can see where you will be at the airport

till the fix ;).

mmm nice to see. on the other hand in WW2 pilots rarely used the radio around the base.

They ran a pattern as Reflected shows in his tutorial video and when on final, if the runway was clear for them to land, someone would shoot a green flare. (you actually see it in game) . If the runway is unavailable, they shot a red flare. 

Same for take off, you can see it in beware beware, a soldier shoots flares up in the sky when you are cleared for take off.

the goal was mainly to avoid giving too much information to the enemy via radio interception.

Remember back then they used AM band.... and with AM Band people in Paris or in a lot of places in France could actually hear the BBC. We called it Radio London and resistance groups got orders and reports from the French based in England this way. so ... if a civilian with a basic radio in Paris could hear broadcasts from London. A german with a maybe more specialized equipment could probably intercept base's and traffic communications and then know when a raid was coming, or when to raid the base because the planes are either gone or better, just landed (and therefore had to refuel and rearm before being able to intercept an attack)

After the patch from yesterday it is ok again. I did one mission and didnt notice any issue with communication with ATC without touching ME.
