F10 menu - ATC airfield and wingman no response

[scommander2]

Hi,

I am not sure that the issue of calling F10 menu with no response for calling ATC airfield inbound or wingman is introduced from 2.9.7.x or not.

I am not sure that others have seen the same issue and logged the same issue.  If yes, please let me know so that I can close my issue.

Thanks.

Wing man or flight do not respond to any off my commands such as engage bogies etc.  ATC does not answer me either.

You both really should posts tracks of what you're seeing because it does not seem to be a common issue.

The 1st thing to check is that you are using the proper keybind.  The COMMUNICATION menu keybind will bring up the menu but only works to transmit if you're on the ground.  In the air you need to use (F-18 example): COMM Switch - COMM 1 or COMM Switch - COMM 2.

Also check that you have the correct radio frequency tuned in your radio.

Hi @rob10, thanks.

In F-14, I asked RIO tuned in the airfield radio before calling inbound... yes, it works.

Calling AI wingman.... I need to try something...

Yes I am, have checked it over an over.  The game has presets for attack my target ETC  they do not work any longer. if I use the full menu such as \ flight \ engage\ bogies  no AI does anything but follow me around.   This is for simple coms not meant to be setting coms.

Two F-16 laned in MP. One got fully rearmed, and another just refueled.

It would have been useful to know you were using easy comms, but either way you really need to post a track of this occurring or we are literally blindly guessing what your problem is.  You can save a track from the debrief window when you end the mission.

Further testing so far it seems to be primarily in the new Afghanistan, in the air to air instant mission, my wing man just flies around until he gets shot down regardless of any easy comm routine I use.  I can get it to work in Persian Gulf.  Have not tested Caucasus yet.  I'll see about saving a track.

A quick question: the easy comm does set radio with the AI wingman?
