Wingman Radio not working on easy comms

[Ratfink]

I can't seem to communicate properly with my AI wingy in SP mode missions in 1.2.6. I have radio assists and easy comms mode on (I like to keep things simple) and when sending commands via radio menu, I get no reply and the text in the menu stays black - I'm sure it used to change white after 'auto tuning' in prev versions.

I must admit it's been a while since I last played A-10C (maybe pre 1.2.5) so perhaps if I'm missing something, but I thought easy mode and radio assists were idiot proof :)

Radios are really buggy in 1.2.6 so that's probably the reason for it. Just make sure you're using the right radio (UHF I presume) and the correct frequency. If it's still not working you can be sure that it's bugged. With easy coms you should be able to see if you can communicate with your wingman by the colour of the text. If it's white it won't work if it's black you should be able to contact. On normal mode you need to make sure you use the right radio and frequency. No indication if you're doing it right there.

If it's white it won't work if it's black you should be able to contact.

 

Are you sure? Isn't it the inverse?

No I'm not sure^^ I don't usually fly with easy coms I'm on the VA Server atm and will check. I think it has easy coms enabled.

 

€: Yes you're right. It's white/grey/black IDK what black is for but groundcrew is black and I'm able to communicate just fine if I have intercom on or the canopy open

Solved!!

 

OK, so it seems to command wingy with easy comms I must hit the UHF mic switch - then wing/flight commands are white text and he obeys. On my X-52 Pro I had the throttle hat set to only provide VHF AM/FM only.
