Lost incoming radio in msn 2

[moggel]

Really like the campaign so far. Just wanted to report that during msn 2 I lost incoming radio calls.  could operate the F10 radios and initiate calls to my wingman, and awacs, but I never heard their reply - just "Dan's" responses to whatever they said.

I had taken a AAA hit by then, that made me loose all my pods, so maybe radio wasn't working or something? If the radio logic does check for loss of radio then I guess Dan's outgoing messages should also reflect this?

Thanks, that's great to hear, glad you're enjoying.  That's probably the most likely cause, I saw this happen once in Persian Freedom - it's rare but it can happen.  Unfortunately it's not something that can really be accounted for, as the mission builder has no way of detecting if the radio is not functional, and so can't program in contingencies for this.

I'm curious, though. I assumed the radio traffic was simply audio files being played from triggers, but you're saying the audio actually gets channeled through the simulated radios then?

I forgot to mention: I also did not get a reply from the tanker (I think it was Texaco), and its TACAN was not picked up by my receiver either. Maybe also due to battle damage. However, as I reported inbound I did get arrival's audio again, and later tower.

Yep that's right, it's why you can only hear the player, all external radio comms are actually transmitted by the unit in question on the correct frequency.
