Steel Jaw Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Does it really matter what the selector dial is set to with realistic radio comms enabled? I have yet to see any difference.

Mustang Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yes, during rearm and refuel it becomes nessesary to set to INT to communicate with ground crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Jaw Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) Yes, during rearm and refuel it becomes nessesary to set to INT to communicate with ground crew. Any other uses? VHF/FM/HF are to be ignored? Edited October 30, 2012 by Mower "You see, IronHand is my thing" My specs: W10 Pro, I5/11600K o/c to 4800 @1.32v, 64 GB 3200 XML RAM, ASUS RTX3060ti/8GB.

ENO Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yes, during rearm and refuel it becomes nessesary to set to INT to communicate with ground crew. This DOES have an effect- but you can also just leave (or put ) your canopy up and communicate with the ground crew through your normal radio command- without having to switch over.

No you don't, as long as you have the IN and HM knobs pulled you don't have to change the rotary. Well at least not on the real ACFT, I haven't tested this in months guess I need to take a look to make sure they didn't change the logic. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Jaw Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 So as a gather here, the entire ICP can safely be ignored...?

Snoopy Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I wouldn't say ignored...I adjust volume using that panel all the time. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnrty Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 You change the volime on the stuff you hear from other flights. In SP for instance, you can turn down/mute the radios so you dont hear SEAD/CAP etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I always lower ILS & TACAN on this panel and not their respective panels And yes, I knew you would ask ;) v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTFDarkEagle Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Doesn't the selector dial select which "radio" the mic switch forward transmits to? Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hansolo Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) I have been strungling a bit with the settings needed to control ground crew so sat down and started testing a few days back with as many combinations as possible. The findings are listed in the attached file. Not relevant means any position. In short when canopy is open any MIC call on throttle will work. Once canopy is closed then battery need to be ON, and settings must be according to the listed settings. If in VHF position no coms with ground crews are possible. I have a few small questions though: 1. What is the fifth position on the Intercoms Control Panel (ICP). I have marked it as "??". 2. AIM does turn off the Sidewinder tone off when pushed in. However in out position the volumen seems to be regulated 0-100% in just turning the knob 20º. Is it suppose to be like this? Volumen control on the ICP for the radios seems to adjust 0-100% in app. 300º.

Dethmagnetic Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Volume for what exactly...you knew I was gonna ask...genuinely curious. Most of the navaids (ILS, TACAN, marker) are obnoxiously loud at the default setting, I turn them way down if I'm using them. For the original question - what's the point of the intercom knob if it has no effect in the real aircraft? Is it just a carryover from the A-10A?
