M-Flux Posted May 25, 2023 Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Just wanted to do a little confession on my stupidity... It took me a while to figure out what the campaign wanted me to do. Pressed 2 on the keyboard and all buttons on the stick. Reread the briefing several times. Had to check a YouTube Video and then had to face palm hard when I realized it's the channel 2 preset on the radio :D. I'm not from the avionics field, but a programmer instead, specialized on network and WiFi. So I'm familiar with channels, frequencies, bands, modulations etc. But in all these years I had never had anyone calling a (wifi) radio channel a button there :D. --- But after my initial "takeoff trouble" I was blown away by the voice coms. It felt very immersive, great job! (If there is any recommended campaign one should try before Zone 5, I'd also be curious to hear.) --- Edit: I'd also be curious where the term button in this context comes from. Is that because early radios had one dedicated button for each channel?

Darkdiz Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 Earlier aircraft certainly did have buttons for pre-sets. So POGO button 6 means change your radio channel to preset 6. Of course there were also MANY other ways to switch frequencies: Line numbers on a standard COMPLAN (POGO line 216), actual frequencies (POGO 248.2), code names (POGO Freight Train), and MANY others Talent hits a target no one else can hit, genius hits a target no one else can detect AMD Ryzen 9 3900x CPU@4.5Ghz, ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero Motherboard, 64GB Corsair Venegence DDR 3200 RAM, MSI Rtx 3060 12GB GPU, MSI Rtx 4060 8GB GPU, 40" and 37" 1920x1080 Samsung Monitor, 40" 1920x1080 Sony Monitor, 1TB Seagate Firecuda M2 PCIe 4 OS SSD, 2TB Western Digital Blue M2 PCIe 3 storage SSD, 8TB Samsung 870QVO storage SSD, Western Digital Blue 1TB storage SATA, 2x Thrustmaster T16000 (LH and RH), Warthog Joy/Throttle/TPRS, 6 x Cougar MFDs (4 with Generic VGA 800x600 displays), Track IR 5 with IR Trackstar V3, Logitech G915 Tactile Keyboard, Logitech G502 Lightspeed Mouse, Logitech G935 Headset, Next Level Racing HF8 Haptic Gaming Pad, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Soul: None (sold long ago to the MGOMU, also known as Princess)
