Mission 9 no F10 option to contact whiplash

[PoPoDano]

After taking off from the hot rearm/refuel I contact overlord via the F10 menu and they tell me to contact whiplash enroute. I get the prompt to contact them but there is no F10 menu to do so. I’ve quintuple checked my radio settings and tried it both on manual and preset modes and even on the ARC210 but F1” never appears. When I reach MARSHALL it tells me to make sure my radio is still tuned to whiplash but nothing happens. 
 

it’s my second time playing the campaign and it worked fine last time but there have been several updates since then, or maybe I’m just completely screwed up…

 

edited to add:  I just skipped the mission and went to mission 10 and the same thing happened…

The A10s FM radio has been broken in the latest update I'm afraid, already reported to ED. No workaround unfortunately so it's a case of either wait for ED to fix it, or rollback the update.

Good to know thanks!!  Hopefully fixed soon.

I've submitted a temporary fix to all Persian Freedom missions while we wait for the radio to be fixed.  It's not how I ideally want the missions to be but should keep things working for now.  I'll swap the missions out again to the original versions when the issue is fixed.

does that make it live now or do we have to wait for the next patch?

Hopefully on the next patch, there should be a campaign only patch in the near future so the wait shouldn't be too long.

The Persian Freedom fix is in today's hot fix.  I had to remove the trigger that detects the FM radio frequency to bypass the broken trigger condition so this means the safeguard against being on the wrong freq has been removed, therefore you'll need to be careful to stay on the correct freq or else you might miss comms.  Also please be aware I had to manually search through every trigger line in the campaign to find and remove the trigger condition - I can't promise I didn't miss one so please let me know if you find any point in a mission that still seems broken so I can check asap.  Last of all the fix only applies to the A-10C II version.
