FF through JTAC Radio 9 line

[dbeaty]

Is it possible to FF through the exchanges with JTAC, I cringe every time I need to contact them to see what they have. Perhaps have an option to skip to the next action point in the radio dialog? Or, maybe it's there already, like the magic "TAB" key to step back in the hierarchy.:book:

[RodBorza]

I don't think there is one.

And, in my opinion, it is not desirable to skip ahead. Lots of the info that the JTAC gives you is important. Target coordinates and wind info is important to input in the CDU (the first if the datalink fails; the second for the target computer wind compensation). Just to name two :thumbup:.

Mostly what annoys me is the intro speech - Darkstar this is Hog 2-1 4x A-10s with <insert list of every munition I have>.

 

Then after all that I realize I keyed the wrong radio and have to listen to it again :D

So learn to key the right radio.

Right after you learn to not be a jackass.

OK, then it might take you a long time to learn this sim.

 

At least I did not tell you to RTFM. Give me some credit, friend.

EDIT: If I makes you feel better, I went to EASY radio communications today just to finally master which calls are VHF AM, which are VHF FM, UHF, etc. Decided it would be a useful step as a learning tool.

thumbs up to lctrl+z. I have both time accel and time slow on my HOTAS. There are times I don't mind spending the few minutes listening to JTAC and times I don't want to hear them do their spiel. Time accel allows you to fast forward, and makes JTAC sound like he's a chipmunk. Usually I'm fine for the first couple calls, after a while if it's single player I tend to want to fast forward through, and the sim lets you do that!

I'd like the nine line on screen a little longer. I'm 62 and with my weary eyes coupled with varifocal glasses I struggle to get all the info written down before it disappears.

But I still think this is the finest aircraft sim ever produced. Also a big thankyou to all who contribute help and advice to the less experienced.

^^ you should also receive it as a message in the Message screen on the MFCD.. this is very helpful at times :)

[Ramrod_45]

Acknowledged, will look for that. Thanks MadTommy.

Well, unless you're suffering from a SADL bug.

 

Personally I would love an interactive kneepad in-game that would keep chart of all this shit for you.

I don't recall always getting a message. Think it might depend on the JTAC type in effect. I too always feel like I am missing info, either JTAC comms or scripted mission comms. The timeout is pretty short and no way to recall the messages. I'd love for there to be a way to access a log of all comms in a mission. Maybe make it part of the briefing page? PLEASE? :)

Good idea - one for the wishlist.

Thanks Nate, I use CNTL Z all the time. Sometimes I just want to get the target sent to my TAD so I can go hunting. If I'm not in the mood for the long reality check version and just the "give me the target location and I'll go destroy it" version! :gun_smilie:
