New Manston Airfield Normandy 2.0, ATC does not respond.

[ac5]

VERY welcome the addition of the airfield Manston, among others to the Normandy 2.0 map.

Though the “old” radio frequencies of said airfield are different than the ones in the “new” Normandy 2.0 map, see screenshots.

That would not be a problem, but the ATC of Manston in Normandy 2.0 does not reply.... NEVER.

No matter if the airfield is red, blue or white, no matter if the two- or three-digit frequencies are used,

no matter the WWII airplane, USA, UK or German, no matter if one uses the “old” radio frequencies

of the channel map OR the ones in the “new” Normandy 2.0 map... I have not tried other airfields.

Please advise.

Hello ED anybody?

 

[razo+r]

Maybe tag @MAESTR0

[ac5]

Thanks, done... let's see if this works..

ED?

I tried today to disable easy communication, but more of the same.

ATC of Manston in Normandy 2.0 does not reply.... NEVER.

no matter the WWII airplane, USA, UK or German, no matter if one uses the “old” radio frequencies

Please advise.

Addendum. AVERY SAME mission, but done in the channel map, the ATC responds!

[Art-J]

^ ...which is completely irrelevant, though. Channel is Channel and N2 is N2. From DCS code point of view they're independent addons with airbases which might carry the same names but are separately programmed by a different company and that's it.

As you might have noticed in this forum section, quite a few of new airbases introduced with latest N2 update suffer from various hardcoded bugs which limit their usability. The only thing one can advise is to post bug reports here. Ugra guys are usually not very active on English side of the forum, but there's hope they noted this thread and will submit fixes to ED for one of the next OB updates.

Well, let's hope that those "Ugra guys" notice this....

[ac5]

Radio silence from both Ugra and ED... Disappointing....

[Nereid]

Indeed. I was using Manston as a training base for landings in my missions and this drove me nuts. I spend over an hour to get it to work (which I did by choosing another airfield) and after all it's a bug in the map.

Some other airfields do work.

Indeed... Deeply disappointing... It's 2024, it's DCS 2.9.2.49940 Open Beta,

and still radio silence from Manston, Ugra and ED...

They will have do redo it anyway when the new ATC comes out. So maybe it's not worth the time to analyze and fix this.Well, I'm a developer myself and maybe I wouldn't try to fix the problem either. But a few words about it would be nice.

[352ndDeacon]

At least Manston has an ATC even if doesn’t respond. Lympne doesn’t have a radio frequency no matter which color you choose to make it. 

[ac5]

Indeed a few words would be nice, either from Ugra or ED...

Let alone the fact that this was working perfectly in the Channel map....

[ac5]

No way.... Newest unified version 2.9.3.51704 and STILL

the radio of Normandy 2.0 Manston is broken... 

I mean.. is it really so difficult to fix this?

Again... Letting alone the fact that this was working perfectly in the Channel map.... 

Ever so disappointed.

I did have a look... Though the issue remains.....

[Slippa]

The idea of pinging the devs and ED was for someone to give us an answer.

Maybe send them a PM? I’m no admin but I’ve seen this mentioned a few times.

Bad form though, really, radio silence.

Indeed... Can't agree more... Bad form radio silence.........

[ac5]

And after several updates, and over two months,

still radio silence, both from  Ugra and ED...

And this concerns not only Manston but other Normandy 2.0 Airfields too.

Utterly disappointing.

[ac5]

Another month has gone by, and after more updates,

still complete radio silence....

As mentioned, this concerns not only Manston but other Normandy 2.0 Airfields too.

Ever so disappointing....

@BIGNEWY @NineLine @MAESTR0

Can anyone take some influence on this matter?

Very good question!

[Slippa]

I’m beginning to see a pattern .

What ‘s the procedure for this then, a bug report for a bug report?

@Orsen come in Orsen, Nanu Nanu Snafu snafu.

[ac5]

Another month has gone by, and after yet another HUGE update 2.9.6.57650

still complete radio silence....

As mentioned, this concerns not only Manston but other Normandy 2.0 Airfields too.

Ever so HUGELY disappointing....
