lokitexas Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 1. Can anyone point me to a guide or tutorial about using the radio. Not the simple commands with "/", but things like switching freq.'s and how to find certain ones. I am lost on this, although I assume its simple. 2. Headings. In some MP missions I see coordinates called out like 42.20 48.30 etc. etc. Again, this is probably something simple for most, but how do I find those, and what do they mean? Coming from prop plane sims that are obviously not as tech advanced all this is greek to me. Thanks in advance. i5 3570k @ 4.3 560ti GTX 2gig 8gig RAM Intel SSD Win7 64bit
Karon Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 1. There are many radios on the Ka-50. Two R-800L1 and a R828 VHF. However, these radios are almost useless if you don't use the TARS Teamspeak3 plugin (except for ATC and PRTz). (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.ph...88#post1435588) 2. I don't get what you mean. Usually coordinates are represented in two ways: • XXX°YY'ZZ" (degrees, minutes and seconds - ABRIS default) • XXX°YY.YY' (degrees, minutes and decimals - PVI-800 default) Take a look here, it might be useful (even if not very "newbie-friendly"): http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1430517#post1430517 "Cogito, ergo RIO" Virtual Backseaters Volume I: F-14 Radar Intercept Officer - Fifth Public Draft Virtual Backseaters Volume II: F-4E Weapon Systems Officer - Scrapped Phantom Articles: Air-to-Air and APQ-120 | F-4E Must-know manoevure: SYNC-Z-TURN
TurboHog Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) When I see coordinates in MP (not described in previous link): PVI to Edit mode Select a new waypoint (i.e. press Nav Tgt, then '1') For positive coordinates press 0, for negative press 1. In this theater coordinates are positive. After selecting positive or negative, enter the north coordinate untill it appears in the upper display. Press 0 again to enter positive east coordinate and enter them. After it appeared in the lower display, the enter button will light up because the coordinates are complete. Press enter and put the PVI in operational mode. Select your new waypoint. Now you can navigate to your custom waypoint. See manual, PVI-800 section for more info. I think it's better to use the PVI since it is connected to your autopilot. In case of a TGT waypoint, it will also appear on the ABRIS. So you have 2 in 1. Edited July 26, 2012 by TurboHog 'Frett'
