BS2, ATC only replying by text message

[Sense]

Hi,

 

I'm currently playing the Deployment campaign. When I ask permission for takeoff, I only receive a message in the upper left corner. there's no sound.

 

I wonder if anybody has the same problem, and if someone has a solution for it?

Read somewhere FARP ATC has no voice acting.

[Nate--IRL--]

Yes, a known issue.

On a side note, is there any documentation on using the new comms menu?

 

Must admit to being lost as to whom my ATC is as now you have a long list to select from. If i'm on a FARP who do I select?

 

thanks

I haven't tried with a FARP so I've no idea! Will try that when I get a chance.

 

The list of airfields is sorted by range, i.e. the closest one is the one at the top of the list. So probably the FARP you're at will be at the top of the list?

ok thanks, where did you read that? I looked in the new manual but cant remember seeing any of that mentioned.

Not sure if I read it specifically anywhere. It's just how it works in DCS A-10C and it seems the same in BS2.

Thanks, I've never got that into AC10c.

Just tested it and the FARPs do indeed show up in the airbases list, presumably sorted amongst the airbases in order of distance.

 

Also noticed something strange - Senaki-Kolkhi airbase is listed as "callsign Kolkhi" - see screenshot. I think it should just be "Kolkhi".

ok, I was hoping I didnt have to fuss to much with the detail of comms.. I'm happy to ask permission to fly, land etc oh well.. Its all for the greater good ;)

You don't have to do it, but it's there if you want to. For example if you just start moving they'll come back with a "Ok, clear to taxi!" comment.

 

I guess the only one you'd have to do is asking for ground power.

There's an option in the gameplay options screen which I think is called 'easy communications' or something to that effect. If you enable that, then your radio will auto-tune to whatever frequency it needs to be on in order to communicate with whoever you selected from the menu.

Looks like a tornado went through your picture. In the background, everything is tilted to the right. :)

Silent FARPS should be fixed if using the Russian Voice Comms pack, for Red FARPs.

Thanks Nate, is it possible to just extract the missing FARP voice acting or is it more then that? I'd rather keep voice acting in english if possible

[Nate--IRL--]

You could try it, no idea if it will work, but there is a good chance it will. It will still go into the RUS folder.
