No response from anyone on radio other than ground crew

[eifionglyn]

Single player mission, nobody will talk to me in the F15E other than the ground crew.

 

Tried with easy comms on and off, makes no difference. I use multiple other modules in the same mission, no comms issues with them. Anderson AFB on 126.2, Tanker on 251. Have read the manual and pretty sure I have the radios on, volume up, mic on etc, correct frequency tuned. Is there a secret mute all radios button I've inadvertently pressed, or is this a bug?

And you did also use the dedicated PTT button for the radio that you've tuned to the frequency? The default key you probably use is for the intercom, which allows you to talk to the ground crew only. Other stations will not be able to hear you if you use the intercom, that's what the dedicated radio PTT button is for.

Yep, I'm using MIC Switch FWD and MIC Switch AFT depending on if I want to use the primary or aux radio.

 

Oddly enough I've noticed that Anderson ATC will talk to me on 250.1 once I start rolling down the runway. Still can't raise them on 126.2, and the tanker still ignores me.

There are some issues with ATC from time to time. Which exact mission is this?

This is just a SP mission I've thrown together myself. Nothing fancy, just has some Bears circling at 10,000 and some trucks on the ground to shoot at, a tanker and a carrier. I use it mainly to learn an new module or when I need a refresh.

 

Edit:

The carrier will talk to me. It's just the tanker. I'll check its settings again.

You have to enable AM-FM to talk to the Tanker on Radio 2:

Worked out what my mistake was.

I'd used the KC135 MPRS as my tanker, - stupidly assuming from its model that it has basket and boom available. It does not, in game it appears to be basket only. The boom is purely aesthetic.

I've now added a regular KC135 and it does talk to me. The KC130 (basket only) does not, presumably because I'm not equipped to refuel from it. Bit confusing, I'm also not equipped to land on the carrier, but if I tune to their frequency and declare inbound they at least tell me to bugger off!
