Repetitive sound loop when hosting Data Link in 4.33
-
I keep getting a loud repetitive sound, like keying a microphone when hosting the data link. It starts as soon as “Cont” is highlighted with Comms switch left and repeats about every 6 or 7 seconds. Just wondering if anyone knows what the problem might be and how to fix it because it makes using the data link very annoying. A couple of time the sound looping stopped, but I’m unable to find what it was I changed to silence it.
I am using Boxers modified Morphine’s Warthog profile but had the same issue with the unmodified version. Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.

Hi,
well what you are hearing is absolutely normal when using DL in continous mode. Don’t worry you’ll get used to it ;). Or you might consider using demand (DMD) or Assign (ASN) mode instead, which would require manual CS left input on your side. No “annoying” beeping, but also no continous DL.
If the DL “beeping” is too loud, reduce the volume and try to find a good mix of audio volume via the AUDIO panel .

I would say just for the fun of it that it is a known bug and you need to uninstall your falcon and format your pc, but I will only say you really really need to RTFM sir.

Between BMS and DCS I must have missed that bit in the 20,000 pages of manuscript I’ve been trying to plow through this last few weeks :oops: I thought that you only RTFM when you ran out of people to delegate to fix up your stuff ups because you couldn’t be bothered read them in the first place!:rtfm:
On a serious note ;-)….Thanks for the replies. I fear that it’s going to be a long learning curve to become proficient and confident in all the aspects of this sim! The more I get into this, the more I appreciate the sheer volume and scope of the work that BMS and their predecessors have put into keeping this 17 y.o program at the top of the military aviation sim genre.

The real reason Link16 was invented was so we finally do not have to hear that annoying IDM sound anymore.
