AM Radio 150.00

[doright]

With 1.2.6 patch the AM Radio gives an out of range squeal on channel 150.### . Channel 149.### and 151.### work fine. # = any number.

 

From flight manual:

"The VHF/AM (Radio 1) transmits and receives between 116.00 and 151.975 MHz."

I noticed this as well. In our MP missions default am to tanker is 150. All i heard was squeal and could not reach the tanker. I tried to connect with them at 140 and they replied. Strange..

Same here. It seams that all 15x channels don't work except 151.

Hence all aerial refuel missions having tanker default 150 have to be modified...

Is this a realism fix or a bug?

Last night I couldn't contact Gudauta tower at 130.00, while other towers worked. It seems the update has broken radio comms somehow.

I confirm the issue. It's hapenning on several frequêncies. 150.00 and 152.00 I remember, but I fount at least one other.

Yes, with 151.000 am work too, but i would like to know if this is a bug or what.

 

Thanks.

Strange, 151 dont work for me. I call it a bug.

Seems like the 120, 130, 140, 150 frequencies have a value of 10 added to them. So 120 becomes 130, 130 to 140 and so on. The rest work fine from what I could tell.

Same here can you link the bug report and ill support it.

I can confirm this.

 

I´ve tried to call Vaziani Tower on 140.000 in Operation Bactria, but no Response.

 

On 130.000 i get an answer. :huh:

Yes, it is definitely a bug. It can be seen if someone uses Aries radio. As soon as you set a frequency on box 1 with a full tenth, the box shows the intended frequency and the Aries Radio panel shows the internal set frequency which is different by 10 mHz. It seems to be an rounding problem for the digits. I can even see for example 139.000 on the box, while the Aries Radio panel shows 140.0. The problem is, that DCS stores the frequency internally in Hz but as floating point value. So you do not have a clean value in Hz. There is always a fraction in the rage of 1000 Hz (sometimes more) which have to be rounded carefully to the closest 25000 Hz border. It seems, that this logic was changed.

Thanks Nate, saves me a job.

[franticSquirrl]

So uh... are there any news or updates concerning this issue? Or does anyone know of a good workaround?

Hello,

 

With DCS:A-10C 1.2.6:

I had same problems too, after the update from 1.2.5 to 1.2.6 : no tankers and no towers responses, noise on 15x.000 frequencies except 151.000, etc...

 

I reinstalled DCS from new 1.2.6 disbution files : same problems.

 

I deleted my \Saved Games\DCS\ directory, and

tankers respond on <=149.975 frequencies, and all towers respond except Viazani (140.000).

 

But those work if I don't modify keyboard mapping or axis inputs.

 

Now I must change inputs : TRIM, brakes... So no radios work for me.

For me the problem comes from files in \Saved games\DCS\ directory.

 

Cheers,

Erratum...

VHF AM problem comes from export command : DeviceID:performClickableAction( button , value) (Device 55)

When I use this command (for my homepit), displayed VHF_AM frequency is correct but it's bad for DCS software. What is displayed in the virtual cockpit isn't good. I must use the mouse to change frequencies on VHF_AM radio.

With 1.2.6 version controls of VHF radio have changed.
