ViKe Posted June 25 Posted June 25 Has anybody gotten nav radio to work? I heard morse code just 1 time and cannot get it working again. 1
fargo007 Posted June 25 Posted June 25 Yes it does work but there are some wrinkles.... Here's what worked for me: 1 - In the ME, set the freq of the carrier to 250. Set the preset for your aircraft's nav channel 1 to the same, 250. 2 - On the C-38, REC C to on. 3 - Sensitivity - to max. 4 - CW/VOICE on the C-38 to VOICE (this is reversed for now - issue already reported). 5 - Touch nothing else. In 1-2 minutes you will start hearing the morse. 2 1 Have fun. Don't suck. Kill bad guys. https://discord.gg/blacksharkden/
_Hoss Posted June 25 Posted June 25 Hayrake navigation had seperate codes for each boat, and it changed everyday. That pie chart in the aircraft was what was used to find the sector you were in by the Letter and Morse code you were receiving. Land based systems code never changed. I hope they put a code cheat in it for the morse like Pacific Fighters did for the system. I sucked at figuring it out...... We'll need printable pie charts like we used in PF, and get the boats code in the briefing. 1 Sempre Fortis

Also what frequency range, MHz or KHz? peachpossum Windows 11 Pro 64-bit i7-14700k 3.4 GHz, 64 GB DDR5-6000 MHz, Samsung 980 pro NVMe for DCS drive.

The carrier was set to 250 MHz AM in the ME. In the standard place where a ship's singular radio frequency is for ATC. Default is 127.5, which I changed to 250.000. The presets are for the corsair. Set the aircraft to "client" or "player" and hit the little radio traffic icon on the right to see them. They are also shown in the manual as in the attachment. My example changed 124 to 250 for channel 1. I also tested it with multiple essex carriers, and that works too. null Edited Thursday at 02:12 PM by fargo007 Have fun. Don't suck.

peachpossum Posted Thursday at 02:28 PM Posted Thursday at 02:28 PM Ah, a small detail I forgot to change when looking for the radio parameters for the Corsair in the ME -> aircraft type to client or player. I see it now and got things to work, thanks for your help fargo007! peachpossum 1 Windows 11 Pro 64-bit i7-14700k 3.4 GHz, 64 GB DDR5-6000 MHz, Samsung 980 pro NVMe for DCS drive.

_Hoss Posted Thursday at 07:02 PM Posted Thursday at 07:02 PM Here's a good article on it... I still can't find the old charts we used to use in IL2 Pacific fighters. The mission brief contained information for each carrier participating in the mission. We used to do SEOW campaigns against other IL2 squads. We had to do scout missions to find the enemy task forces, so we were all over the place on patrol routes. You needed Hayrake to get you back to the boat. We had the paper copies of the charts and would write down the Alpha codes for each 30-degree sector. https://militaryhistorynow.com/2024/03/11/ye-zb-hayrake-the-top-secret-radio-navigation-system-that-helped-americas-carrier-pilots-defeat-the-japanese/ Sempre Fortis
peachpossum Posted Friday at 11:59 AM Posted Friday at 11:59 AM I set a couple of radio presets in a simple MP mission yesterday based on Fargo007's process above. In SP the airplanes I tested received the correct carrier IDs and location data for the two carriers I placed in the mission. Later last evening when flying the same mission in MP, things worked normally in the first airframe, but after crashing it due to those pesky twin 25mm AA cannons I had to get into a new plane. The nav radio presets which previously worked no longer worked for the rest of the evening. No others reported getting the nav radios to work either. We could get a morse code signal if we switched the C-26 CW/Voice switch over to Voice, but that was AGA L (presumably Agana on Guam). I can attach a log if that would be helpful, I think my track file will exceed the 50Mb limit. peachpossum Windows 11 Pro 64-bit i7-14700k 3.4 GHz, 64 GB DDR5-6000 MHz, Samsung 980 pro NVMe for DCS drive.
