Just to be sure, are you using the regular "\" radio menu? Or did you mapped a button for the FR22 radio? I've been doing the Red Flag campaign lately and no problems so far with the radio comms.


You have to be sure to be in the correct preset also. Chuck's guide for reference:

Which of these mappings is the one that should be used?  I have also had issues with wingmen ignoring me.

"Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic. And reentry from space, well, that's like Mach a lot."

Backslash "\" is a relic of FC modules/Easy Comms. Can be used in various FF modules as ground comms, or in the air with Easy Comms enabled, though it would be better to have it removed in all FF modules, as some 3rd parties incorrectly still implement it. Like PC in the Kiowa.

Better yet, how about just making it functional again across all modules?

Absolutely it should be enabled/disabled by a difficulty option with the ability to force it server side, but the radio is probably the most annoying part of the Viggen.
Having it workable with easy comms would take lots of frustration away from new or casual users.  I postulate that taking frustration away from new or casual users is a good thing.  It means more people buying into DCS.  You can eliminate them from your servers by making their life miserable with enforced difficulty options.

We just have to disagree on this one. It was announced years ago that Easy Comms were going to be faced out. It makes no sense to bring the function back as one can map the correct PTTs in the modules. If you have Easy Comms enabled, it should work for you. If Easy Comms doesn't in the Viggen,  then HB should of course fix it, or state that Viggen does not support Easy Comms.

That's already possible. Reflected enforce Easy Comms OFF in all his campaigns.

I see your point, and I don't necessarily disagree if Easy Comms doesn't work in the Viggen. What I don't understand, is why it's so hard to learn how to operate the radio. All the frequencies are in the Kneeboard too. I maybe missing something crucial though.

I do agree with this. And for sure, most modules lack training missions of how to operate the radios. Especially in older modules. The lack of "a real" ATC and procedures in DCS doesn't help. And that other Viper sim actually made me understand. It's free to download, and just reading the included manuals, took a long way.

Depends. If there were better documents and training missions. I'm sure most users would be less frustrated. I've been there myself. So i do understand.

Like I wrote above, it's already possible. If Easy Comms were not enabled by default in the user settings. Maybe users would take the time to learn radios, and not be frustrated when it doesn't work when enforced OFF in missions and on servers. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 

Cheers!
