BaD CrC Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Would love to be able to play an ATIS recording on a given airport whenever I tune my BS VHF2 on a specific frequency. Found the 'radio transmission' action available but I was unable to make it work. Can you guys help? Thanks. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
Erforce Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Hi ! First, i think it was question about a bug atm in radio transmission. This awesome feature worked fine when they released BS2 (or DCSW?). i made some posts about it with a picture. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1491587&postcount=14 For your specific question, if this function works (can't test it atm), ME and, i'm pretty sure scripts, can't monitor when you switch frequencies. That means the file will be played immediately. Imho, your only option is the "other" radio menu. you can set a trigger via this tool, and, maybe ask the player to pre-call the tower. A response will give a new frequency, then start chatting with a reasonable delay on the desired frequency. Maybe add important notes if you want to force the player to switch his frequency. A large monitored trigger zone around the airport could do the trick too. What do you think?

BaD CrC Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 Merci for your answer Erforce. This function sounded too good to be true. I was also hoping to go through the X:Cockpit argument but from the A10C cockpit argument list (couldn't find the same list for Ka50) no argument appears to be related to radio frequency. Will have to ask my squad mates to do 'as if' then. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
EvilBivol-1 Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Seems to work fine using the Radio Transmission trigger for me using the current public World version. Maybe your issue was that by default the trigger sets FM mode, while the radio in the cockpit is set to AM. Or maybe the audio file format was incompatible.

Erforce Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Mais ce fut un plaisir d'aider, Cyclic Redundancy Check (Aka CrC ;) )! EvilB, yes, you're right, it's working, even in Frequency Modulation mode. As i said, i never experienced a bug with this yet, but didn't tested it everyday too. But, hey, did you hired Siri for this sound file ? :D Edit : In fact, Evilboy made available arguments list for Ka50 too.

BaD CrC Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 OOook, it works indeed....most of the time. Thanks EvilBivol-1. Added two ATIS messages in my mission (one in Anapa, one in Gelendzhik). Starting from Anapa, I can hear 5/5 the local ATIS, and 2/5 the Gelendzhik ATIS with 15W power setting for the latter. Pretty cool. I added Rostov control with a large 55km radius centered on my navigation between Anapa and Gelen with 50 then 100 then 150W power, but I could get only static sound from the frequency set whatever the power setting. Strangely enough, Rostov with its 150W of power and zone centered halfway to Gelendzhik was 0/5 but I could still hear Gelendzhik ATIS from ANAPA with 15W power. So not so sure how this works. Anyway, Removed Rostov. Then I tried to add some other frequencies on Anapa airport like the TWR, with another message, but all the radio transmissions stopped working. Tried different zones, different power settings. Nothing. So I sticked with just the two ATIS messages and it seems to work. Tried also in MP with 2 aircraft. Worked for the two aircraft. Erforce, for the ATIS message I used this AT&T voice synthetizer demo since it allows you yo download the file in .wav format. I then converted the files into .ogg with very low quality settings to simulate the usually poor quality you can hear on aero VHF. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
EvilBivol-1 Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 It sounds like you are experiencing line of sight limiations, especially if you are testing at ground level. Did you try it at altitude, so you are well above of the hills in the area? I'm not sure why adding more messages to other frequences would cause a problem. If you like, you can attach the mission here and I can take a look at it. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer. The Parable of Jane's A-10 Forum Rules
BaD CrC Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Yes, you are probably right for the line of sight. I tried to make two miz files for you. One with the ATIS on Anapa 125.4 and one with ATIS and TWR on 125.4 and 119.8 and got mixed results. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. One mission with ATIS only: OK. Added a trigger for TWR: NOK. Removed the TWR: still NOK :cry:. Reloaded the .ogg file in the ATIS trigger: worked again. So I am a bit at loss now. Doesn't look like something systematic. Let me know if adding several radio transmissions on an airport is working for you. I leave the two missions files, in case my .ogg files are simply in a wrong format? Luckily enough for my tomorrow's MP mission, I finaly got a real ATC controller to join and play the Anapa and Gelendzhik TWR through teamspeak/TARS. So I am happy enough with just my working ATIS messages.onefrequency.miztwofrequencies.miz Edited January 22, 2013 by BaD CrC https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
EvilBivol-1 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 The twofrequencies mission worked correctly in both singleplayer and as host in multiplayer. Heard both ATIS and TWR transmissions.

BaD CrC Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 OK. Thanks a lot for your time. Not sure what I did wrong. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
luza Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 messing arround with this mission. Tried adding vietnam themed radio on 30.000 FM. I can hear it fine. Client are reporting not hearing it, any ideas?Lynx'_UH-1+Shark_Playground.miz [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
luza Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 did a bit more testing with a friend. It only works in multiplayer if the client is in the mission before mission start. E.G if they join after "start" no dice. Bug? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

luza Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 These are important things to be corrected imo! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

moespeeds Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 I also had issues getting this working. I added a triggered action in the transmitting unit to change to the desired freq (even though in its properties I had set it to the correct freq). Every time I triggered it to play a sound, I also triggered it to change to the desired freq. This made it work properly.

BlacleyCole Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 I’m new to this aspect of dcs world but couldn’t you set a flag for the freq to me null then when they tune to your freq have the flag set to true then have a trigger check for a true flag then set a time more than condition then play the sound file as your action ie Continuous trigger event flag true Time more 30 condition Play sound action BlackeyCole 20years usaf XP-11.
