Setting a Flight to the UHF radio band.

[Fish]

How can i set a flight (AI) to the UHF radio band. ? ( i can do it with the AM or FM bands no problem).

 

Cheers

Input a uhf frequency, that's it.

 

The A-10s AN/ARC-164 operates between 225.000Mhz and 399.975Mhz AM.

Input a uhf frequency, that's it.

 

Cheers, that's what i understood also, so here's what i did.

 

Set up several flights, AWACS, TANKERs, and FAC (predator).

SET frequencys to VHF either FM or AM, and checked they worked on those radios. All good.

Then did nothing else, but changed the frequency of each in turn, to the UHF, 255.000, and no response from either. I know the radio works, cause i can give instruction to my wingman on 251.00 (default), and the only thing i changed is the frequency.

 

Only thing i can think of, is those aircraft (or the controller in case of predator), are not equipped with the AN/ARC-164 radio. ?

AI aircraft only use the VHF AM/FM radios. The UHF radio is only used for player flights (with AI wingmen) and client flights (online)

Ahh, that fits.

 

Cheers.

The AI will happily use UHF, all my missions are set up that way.

 

The only assets that have problems are tankers, and that's a known issue.
