Allied Flights

[chardly38]

I have world v1.2.0 a10 and I dont hear any allied flight on the radio. I set all to 251 and get nothing.

Allied flights are usually on the VHF AM radio frequencies. I forget what the common frequency is, but probably 124.00? Your wingmen are usually the ones on UHF 251.

I have set all flights to 251 or 300.1 Do I need to set the Bort# the same.

[NoJoe]

Ah, then you'd need to set your UHF radio to 300.1 to hear those F-16s. I think. Though I'm pretty sure allied flights make radio calls over the AWACS frequency (assuming there's an AWACS operating).

 

And as far as I know, the Bort number is just the number that is painted on the outside of the plane, so it shouldn't make a difference here.

 

Of course, if someone else knows better than I, please step in! I'm just going from memory here. :D

[EDIT] If you open up the "CSAR" mission in the mission editor, that will give you a good idea of how the radios are set up. Open DCS World, go to the mission editor, then File -> Open. There's a box in the upper right of the dialogue box that lists "My Missions, A-10C, Su-25T," etc. Select A-10C, then choose "CSAR.miz".

 

There you'll find Wizard 1-1, an AWACS that is set to 124 AM. Then there are some F-16 and F-15 flights that are both set to 124 as well. When you fly the mission, you can then tune your VHF AM radio (the forward-most radio in the cockpit) to 124.00, which will let you listen in to their radio calls.

 

Hopefully this helps. If not, feel free to ask more! :)

Procedure to set up UHF radio:

 

1 click for 1 full second for one knob.

 

For example:

 

Time you look at radio stack 00:01:00

Time you flick mode to TR (Transceive) 00:01:01

Time you rotate 225000 knob to 2 (5)5 00 00:01:03

Time you rotate 255000 knob to 25 (1)00 00:01:05

 

 

meaning one digit turned for one full second, and not tuck tuck tuck tuck in a half second.

 

After setting frequency, hit status, then hit test display and hold.

 

Look at UHF repeater on front console. Should read 251000

 

Look at UHF window on stack. Should have XXXXXXX as you are pressing down.

 

Let go. Start communicating.:thumbup:
