no bug Communications Bug

[finkelt]

Hi all,

For some reason, when I try to communicate with ATC or wingmen in Instant Action they no longer respond.....they always used to (ATC would give me an Azimuth or tell me I'm cleared to land....Wingmen would acknowledge orders....now for some reason this doesn't happen anymore.  Any ideas what could be causing this?

I'm flying the F16, BTW.  thank you in advance for any insight you can provide.

Chances are you used to rely on the Gameplay >Easy Communication option. When this option is disabled, you have to:

• Dial the ATC frequency.
• Select the proper radio (F-16C has a radio for UHF and another for VHF) : "RAlt + \ " or "RCtrl + \ ". The name of the radio is displayed on top of the comms menu.

Thanks.  that was it.  But how do I find out which frequency to dial to for the various ATCs?

The easiest way is clicking on chosen airbase in F10 map view which opens its properties window with ATC frequencies amongst other things.

Apart from that, there are various handy custom kneeboards, spreadsheets, lists and whatnot available from community in user files section. On the other hand, planes with non-adjustable radio presets have to have their channels set by player in mission editor before flight, but I don't own F-16 and I'm not familiar with how its radio works.

Thank you.  Actually discovered that on my own today.  Appreciate the help.
