kontiuka Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hi. Just a little question. I made a small mission where I'm landing on a FARP but I haven't had any luck in being able to contact the FARP for landing. I have my radio set to UHF and the frequency set to 251 (the FARPs frequency). The radio power is on and is set to Transmit/Receive. When I try to select the FARP from the communications menu (\), it is blacked out and I can't select it. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Thanks much. Kon.

IonicRipper Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I assume you have "Easy Communications" ticked off in the gameplay options menu? First make sure you have the correct frequency for the FARP from the mission planner (click the T symbol, should show the frequency.) Next, make sure your intercom dial is on the right mode. If i remember correctly, 2 is for UHF radio and 3 for VHF AM. Third (and is where I think the problem is coming from) you have to use RAlt + \ to use the cyclic radio trigger for the radio to work correctly.

Fuzzy_bear Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Isn't the farp also meant to atleast have a mobile atc unit or something? I know a farp is meant to have certain things for it to be "fully" opperational Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kontiuka Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 I had "Easy Communications" on so I unchecked it and that made the FARP available in the communication menu when I pressed RAlt + \. For some reason, I could not hear my voice over the radio and I didn't get a reply from the FARP. When I try my wingman or an airfield, I do hear my voice and I do get a reply. So, not sure what is special about a FARP. Maybe other map objects do have to go with it for it to work. Or maybe it's a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blksolo Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Typically a Farp will not have an atc. Usually you will only have refuelers and ordinance at a Farp. I worked at a Farp during desert storm and we would usually have 6 or 7 guys max. A Farp is usually something that is setup very quickly and is temporary. A forward airfield would have atc etc Intel i7 6700k OC 4.7ghz Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero Motherboard Zotac GTX980ti 6GB Amp Extreme 32 GB DDR4 3200 RAM Oculus Rift CV1 Thrustmaster Warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering why in the mission editor, when you insert a FARP, it has a radio frequency that you are able to edit. It must have some purpose.

JoeDiamond Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Place a friendly unit alongside the farp. A single Humvee will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blksolo Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 ok. I'm just wondering why in the mission editor, when you insert a FARP, it has a radio frequency that you are able to edit. It must have some purpose. I'm an idiot lol,I didnt read the original post,I thought you meant in real life would you have atc at a farp,not in game :music_whistling: Intel i7 6700k OC 4.7ghz Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero Motherboard Zotac GTX980ti 6GB Amp Extreme 32 GB DDR4 3200 RAM Oculus Rift CV1 Thrustmaster Warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kontiuka Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 I inserted a FARP command post and that seemed to do the trick. Yay! Thanks all for the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
