Bonz Posted August 6, 2024 Posted August 6, 2024 For the Airboss to do his job he needs radios... Four is preferable but at least three for: Deck Operations, Tower/BOSS, Arrival/Departure and Marshal. This isn't a mirror of what's real but a compromise. Deck could be the 5MC which is the BOSS's Loudspeaker for the Flight DECK. It's very loud and he uses it sparingly to keep this tracking safely. The Yellow Shirts manage the flight deck in the real world, But in DCS a Radio for Deck Operations would be OK. Arrival/Departure and Marshal can be combined into one radio but having two would work better. It's necessary to have multiple radios, not just different frequencies, because they all need to be monitored. The 5MC would need be heard by anyone on the Flight Deck including aircraft crew and the LSOs. Once off the flight deck and either in the pattern or beyond you would no longer hear the 5MC. 3
