solved UH-1H Huey - Comms menu when Easy Comms OFF

[TBarina]

. I've made this test: simple mission with 2 hueys on the same frequency UHF 251.00.

EasyComms Off.  

The only way to open Communication Menu in the air is to switch Radio selector switch to Private.

Then, after menu appears, I turn the switch with the mouse to channel 2 (for UHF 251.00). Then I presws F2 and F4 to order wingman to cover me. Message is  sent. But, just after message is sent, the radio selector switch automatically switches to Intercom position and WIngman doesn't respond and doesn't obey.

The same happens with all other messages and commands to wingman.

Also ATC doen't respond.

Everything runs smoothly with Easy Comms ON instead.

Why haven't you posted your mission file or your track?

Please do.

Here is the mission. A very simple one. Only 2 Hueys on the runway at Batumi ready to takeoff.

The problem is not the mission. The same issue is present in any mission or campaign in all scenarios.

When EasyComms OFF: weird behaviour of the comms menu (VAICOM PRO fully disabled and removed fror export.lua).

First of all I take off and wait on channel two for wingman to take off as well. I can hear his radio message on channel 2 (UHF 251.00) saying he is rejoining.

Then I can issue commands by opening Comms Menu in Private channel (no other way to do that) and, of course, wingman doesn't respond and doesn't obey.

Thanks

I'm flying DCS openbeta latest release in MT.

Same issue in ST.

It works for me with UHF (position 2).

Remember that when you're in the air, you need to use " RAlt + \ " keybind.

UHF works.trk
