RIFLE_JTAC_TRAINING Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Fellas, Im trying to use comms with wingman and JTAC etc. I understand that the key to observe my F1 to F12 commands is ( \ ). However this key isnt working for me? I have beta 3. Is this a common issue? Is there an alternate. I also selected a button on my joystick to call up this page and no joy.

nomdeplume Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 If you have the "easy communications" option selected on the gameplay options screen, then you can use the \ key to open the comms menu and it will auto-tune your radios as necessary. (If you have a non-US keyboard, it may be a different key: the one above or next to the enter key - but if you assigned a joystick button, this probably isn't your issue.) If you don't have that selected, then the \ key won't work, and you'll need to use the "HOTAS MIC switch" to open the comms menu. This is to simulate transmitting with a particular radio, which must already be tuned to the correct frequency or else you won't receive a reply. The MIC switch is a four-way switch but only three of the directions actually do something. The title of the comms menu that appears will tell you which radio you'll be transmitting on.
RIFLE_JTAC_TRAINING Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 Thanks, That worked out great. Now if only the wingman could do what I tell him to. At least he acknowledges what he's being told.

quiksilver Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Hmm... ... there are still a lot of issues with comms. Just a fast example: In one of the missions the ATC doesn't give me and my flight take off clearance (starting from ramp). When I skip waiting for the clearance and start rolling the ATC suddenly tunes in with the take off clearance.
Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 For me with easy comms, my \ key brings up the menu but none of the number keys work after that to select submenus. Anyone else have this issue?
nomdeplume Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Are you actually using the number keys, or did you mean function keys? It's F1-F12 to select options from the comms menu, not the number keys.
Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Hmmm, then there is a typo bug i guess because the submenus lists numbers, not function keys. Furthermore, the LWIN Q,D,G,R don't seem to work either. Anyway, thanks for the heads up.
