Maybe you have it mapped to the VOIP command?

I'm sure it's some sort of assignment issue, because pressing the correct transmit button it always replied to me and everyone else. Do you have any unofficial mods installed?

[dave76]

no.........

[Reflected]

Can you take a screenshot of your control assignments? To see which buttons/commands you're pressing?

[dave76]

[Reflected]

Yepp, that's the one. Except you need to call the tanker on UHF, so BTN5

[Falken2]

Dave is right. Same for me. 100% sure I use correct frequency. I don't care since I use unlimited fuel.

Had a similar problem. Went Bingo while weaseling and was worried that I could not even make it back to Texaco-41's orange track. I diverted to Arco-31 as he luckily passed my path but I could not establish contact. Used UHF and he should be on Ch 6. In the kneeboard is indicated that Ch 6 has a different frequency than the cockpit preset, but even using the frequency in the kneeboard didn't work. I panicked and tried all Amber-frequencies to contact him but he ignored me. I went dry behind his tail. Poor story, tried a road-landing like the Hornets, but with an F-16 and no thrust... didn't went very well.

I double checked in game, the freqs match, both in your Viper, the tanker and the kneeboard.

You guys are either pressing the wrong transmit button or it's a HOTAS thing, or your game is somehow corrupted - unofficial mods?

 

[Paradiesvogel]

Nope, it's not an UHF/VHF thing nor keybinding. No problems with anything else. The UHF indication illuminates also in the DED when doing a call, so it is used correctly. Don't have any mods either. I'll try tomorrow again, perhaps i can figure something out. Very weird.

Try running a slow repair

[Paradiesvogel]

I did a file check+repair (dunno if there was something). Did the mission again. kneeboard & preset was correct (Ch 6, 305.50). However still could not establish contact to Arco-31. Tired it after takeoff, after ROTKO, directly after refueling at Texaco-41, in the waiting loop at BLUE RIDGE and on the way back before and after ROANOKE. Also got visual on him again. This guy just doesn't respond. Has he a damaged antenna? Sleeping on autopilot during active duty? Does he hate me or is he just a prick? (Or is it a coalition thing? Did ED changed something? There was an update earlier this week.)

Well, I saved a bit more fuel this time so I made it back home. If he is there in the next missions, I can try to talk to him again. Perhaps he just had a bad day...
