Checked your setup briefly.

 

The FAC is set to 30 AM but that is an invalid frequency, I think you mean 30 FM? You need to change the modulation on the frequency to FM in the drop-down menu, then it will work.

I tried changing in mission editor to 30 FM nothing, then to 30 AM also nothing...any ideas?

Depending on whether you are using 'easy communications' setting, you'll also need to activate the right radio with the mic switch. For VHF FM this would be MIC SWITCH LEFT.

If you choose the wrong radio, it will seem like you are talking but the FAC will not receive your message.

 

I can take another look later today but from what I've seen from your mission earlier you did setup everything else correctly. Just to be sure, cause I don't remember it exactly, make sure you first let the AI set freq. and callsign and then have him act as FAC. So FAC command should be last command in the queue.

 

PS, to rule the wrong radio issue out, enable easy communications from the options menu, then try to contact your fac. If it works the setup is ok but you need to think about using correct radio, when easy communications is disabled.

Tried all settings inckluding easy comms....But there is no FAC

[Geskes]

Are you sure you are close enough? You have to be within a certain range before your signal can reach him.

oh lol, just looked at your mission again but of course you need to set the fac command as well :)

 

No FAC command, no juice.

 

So go to your fac unit, go advanced, click add, select perform task, fac - engage group, select target group

 

OR, select enroute task, FAC, but then your unit will need to be closer to enemy or you need other AI providing locations on opfor because in this mode it will only send you targets that it is aware of.
