lmp Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hi, is it possible to set and use the 19 preset channels of the R-863? Also, are the other radios useable already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmp Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Radios are still in development (wip) Yes, I know that, I'm just wondering what parts are already working ;). The R-863 works just fine if you're using manual frequency dialing. The ARK-UD and the doppler navigation system are partially working, despite there being no official documentation.

lmp Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) The manual posted today by PilotMi8 here encouraged me to experiment a bit with the scripts and you can configure the presets, by adding presets = {} presets[1] = 130000000.0 presets[2] = 124000000.0 ...to the <DCS World>\Mods\aircrafts\Mi-8MTV2\Cockpit\Scripts\Devices_specs\Radio\R_863.lua file. You should be able to use up to 20 presets and the value is in Hz. I added my lines before the GUI.channels = presetsline. Then in the game you flip the КОМАНД РС ЗУ-НУ switch in front of the R-863 dialer to switch between "dialer mode" (НУ) and "preset mode" (ЗУ). The big red knob on the overhead panel, to the right of the de-icing panel, lets you set the channel and there's no "tune" button as in the R-828.

Hydrox Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Yes it works. I Don't have line "GUI-channels = presets", not did I add it. I just put: presets = {} presets[1] = 120000000.0 presets[2] = 121000000.0 presets[3] = 122000000.0 presets[4] = 123000000.0 presets[5] = 124000000.0 presets[6] = 125000000.0 presets[7] = 126000000.0 presets[8] = 127000000.0 presets[19] = 128000000.0 presets[10] = 129000000.0 presets[11] = 130000000.0 presets[12] = 131000000.0 presets[13] = 132000000.0 presets[14] = 133000000.0 presets[15] = 134000000.0 presets[16] = 135000000.0 presets[17] = 136000000.0 presets[18] = 137000000.0 presets[19] = 138000000.0 presets[20] = 127500000.0 to the very end of the R_863.lua file.
