jazjar Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 For some reason, I cannot receive digital target assignments from the JTAC in every mission I try. I can only receive vocal radio target assignments, and this makes it impossible to locate the targets properly. Am I setting up my SADL net improperly, or is it a beta bug? please help.

Assuming the SADL switch is on, you have to get to the point of reading back the JTAC briefing. Once you do, he says he's transmitting and it should show up on your TAD and flashing "Message" in the HUD.
Revelation Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Are you using the "\" to respond to ALL instructions? The most important is reading back the 9-LINE. You can also verify that you are getting the message by clicking on "MSG" in your right MFD. It will show you the messages received. Ultimately you could be experiencing a bug, so don't get too frustrated over it. Win 10 Pro 64Bit | 49" UWHD AOC 5120x1440p | AMD 5900x | 64Gb DDR4 | RX 6900XT
jazjar Posted October 11, 2010 Author Posted October 11, 2010 all right, thanks! I'll try this when I get the chance! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Frogfoot1606687865 Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Just to take this thread a little further, once you have read back the 9 line and WILCO'd the point data on the TAD I can see the red triangle however if I go to the MSG page all I can see is the titles of the 9-line with no content ie. IP: HDG: DIST: ELEV: DESC: etc I assume this is a bug, or am I missing something.

Frogfoot1606687865 Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 That's OK, I thought as much Tom Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Gigabyte EX58-UD5, Intel i7 920 Corsair H70 water cooled @4GHz), Corsair XMS3 12GB (6x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 (1600MHz) Tri-Channel, Nvidia GTX780, OCZ Vertex 256GB SSD (for OS+DCS), TrackIR 5, TM Warthog HOTAS + Saitek Rudder
jazjar Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 O.k so when the JTAC says he's ready to give the 9-line, I say give the 9-line and after he's done reading what do I say after that? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
nomdeplume Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Wait a bit and he'll tell you to advise when you're ready for further comments, and your menu options will change so you can do that.
jazjar Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 and so what do I select from these menu options? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
norm Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Any vids with the JTAC? I would like to here what it sounds like...
jazjar Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 Yeah, it would nice to see a vid with the whole JTAC process from check-in to check out [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
nomdeplume Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 There actually is: Looks like the Shooting Range mission with a later build, so you can try it out yourself. Functionality is pretty much the same, but you don't get voices. Wags posted it in this thread which is probably also worth reading.
jazjar Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 Thanks for the vid but when I say ready for further remarks and talk on, I get no reply, digital, or vocal [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
norm Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 I like it, but are the voices final? I think a slightly longer pause between letters and numbers would help with the choppiness, especially with the pilot, of the two, the JTAC sounds more natural.

jazjar Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 Ok so does this mean that the JTAC only works fully in the shooting range mission? because I have had all my failed JTAC experiences in the campaign and create fast mission missions [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Revelation Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 JTAC isn't fully implemented yet - anywhere in the sim. Win 10 Pro 64Bit | 49" UWHD AOC 5120x1440p | AMD 5900x | 64Gb DDR4 | RX 6900XT

nomdeplume Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Ok so does this mean that the JTAC only works fully in the shooting range mission? because I have had all my failed JTAC experiences in the campaign and create fast mission missions It's the only place I've had it seem to completely work for me. In a test mission I made it mostly worked, but stopped responding after I hit the target. But it's definitely not fully implemented in the open beta so don't stress too much about it.
