AWASC not calling

[chardly38]

I cant get AWASC (E-2D or E-A3) to work. I see them in the radio menu

F7 but when I try to call them F7 does nothing. I have set them to a

way point, orbit, AWASC but they do nothing. Does it matter if JATC is on the ground.

[Evil.Bonsai]

Are you using the correct radio and frequency when calling?

Did you remember to give them your phone number?:megalol:

 

Sorry, just couldn't resist.:D

[chardly38]

Here is screen shots of the setups. Am I suppose to set up like JATC.

[chardly38]

I use the \ key for main menu. I use it for everything and it works but not for AWASC. If i use my mic switch it will bring up the AWASC F7 but it never works. Do I need to set up AWASC.

[chardly38]

Could someone upload a AWASC mission that works so i can test.

Nobody

I think your problem is using the "orbit" command which makes them just circle and nothing else. It's useful for having aircraft hold in an area until a condition is met

MY f7 key is not showing up in the game. I tryed two key boards and still on go. Is there some way to test the key to see if it works

[chardly38]

I have tryed 3 keyboards total and the F7 is not seen in dsc. Great hope I get help with this one. I even tryed BS2 and A10c standalone. All 3 games and no good . I went to views and tied to change any key command to F7 and does not work.

You seem to be implying that the behavior of the AWACS is not correct. It is actually very prototypical and is a real world problem being simulated correctly in the game. :doh:

 

(I am at work, If nobody posst a track for ya by this time tomorrow I'll help ya out...:smilewink:)

You Know Now I feel like an IDIOT. After getting off the phone with logitech

my problem was that my F7 and F8 key was assigned to my Tracker Ir pause and canter command. That was overriding commands to dsc. I get the rubber cookie award for the week.

 

Thanks to those who tryed to help.

I remapped my trackir keys as CENTER top row 5, smoothing top row 6, and off/on mouse scroll click

[chardly38]

Now I have figure out how to get AWASC to work. Have him flying over the target and says picture clean

You can also try a mods for clickable radio menu.

OVER TARGET? AWACS won't tell you about targets on ground, only airborne. I would not put an enemy aircraft near your AWACS w/o ESCORT or that AWACS will turn into a big fireball.

Ok i must be heading the wrong direction. Here is a video of Bullseye targets.

 

 

Im wanting to set up a mission that uses bulleyes for targets. Im i miss understanding what Fish is doing in the mission. He calls for picture and gets clean. Then he gets a bulls call. Does the sim just call out bullseye targets

or is it set up that when you here one that you can repeat it if you didnt get the numbers right

[Evil.Bonsai]

Wizard is the AWACs, and it reported 'clean' (no enemy aircraft)

 

UZI is an Allied Flight, and that flight is reporting the ground targets.

 

To get ground targets called out, you will need allied flights (other CAS flights). Toss a couple of those out there, or even a wingman for your own flight, and you will get ground target calls in the bullseye format.

[chardly38]

If you miss the call is there a way to have them recall targets.

[Evil.Bonsai]

If you miss the call is there a way to have them recall targets.

 

I'm pretty sure that would be 'no'. If there's only one target, and it's called out, you can pretty much say goodbye to that one. However, if there are a number of targets, they will call them out when attacking. The bullseye calls will all be similar, so you should be able to point the tgp in the direction without too much fuss. Just keep something to write on handy and write them down as you hear them. I hear Hawg pilots IRL use a grease pencil on the canopy for just such occasions.
