Bobstar Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 Hi All, after the last update I can't seem to communicate with ATC. Ground Crew is fine. Have I omitted to tick or un tick something after my DCS repair? Thanks in anticipation.
razo+r Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) Without any infos about what aircraft or what keys you use, here's some generic help: 1) Make sure your radio is properly tuned to the correct frequency 2) Make sure you use the correct radio PTT button 3) The tower hasn't been bombed 4) The tower is not from the enemy fraction Edited July 5, 2023 by razo+r
Bobstar Posted July 5, 2023 Author Posted July 5, 2023 Yep, checked all that no joy. It's all ac so, something common to all but, I've no idea now?...
burncpt Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 I have a slightly different issue with contacting ATC in WW2 aircraft. All the bases are greyed out all the time. This is in instant action missions at the moment as I've not dug into a longer campaign, but the mission briefing shows the radio frequencies of the home base etc., so why can't I contact them for vector home, landing clearance etc etc.? I can issue orders to wingmen/flight no problem. Thanks for any help!

So make sure you have selected the correct channel, hope the mission designer has entered the correct frequency and then all you have to do is press the mic button and it should work. 1

By the mic button I guess it mean the key which opens the radio menu I guess? So the issue is in that case that none of these missions have the correct ATC frequencies assigned to the radio then? That seems particularly stupid and annoying since the briefing has them listed. There aren't any other radio settings in cockpit I'm missing?

Sedlo Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 If easy comms are disabled then on the ground the '\' key works. If airborne you need to use the correct keybind for the radio you're using. It's often labeled transmit, or something like that. 'right shift \' and 'right control \' are the ones used for ED jets, IIRC. Something like that. 1 My Youtube Channel MY DCS MISSIONS
burncpt Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Seems to be any mission set in the Channel or Normandy 2 maps. So far I've used the P-47, P-51, Spitfire and FW-190A... The Caucasus missions seem to work.

Please tell us which mission you tried or upload it here so we can check any mis-setup in the mission.
