Question about AWACS
-
Yeah, they definitely should. it sounds like another bug issue, gonna dig into it tonight.
-
OK. i tried and tried to get a recreation of this glitch with no luck. the good news is it doesnt seem to be an issue anymore. v2 is soon to come and wont have this bug.

Thanks for checking.
eagerly awaiting v2 -
Was the AWACS actually “On Station” and not still in transit to the orbit? I believe they will make calls even when in transit to the orbit, but the game doesn’t provide the menu option for you to reach out to them until they are actually in the orbit.
-
Yes, on station for sure.
Thanks. -
one other thing i notice, while in the farthest east i loose awacs and when i fly back to friendly territory its back on. awacs may have effective distance? i dont know yet.

Hi, dear Ned.
AFAIK it seems so - just can’t recall now where I read that, but I’m sure enough about.
Hope this helps.
Oh, and one more matter: I experienced that when in AAR, this same issue always makes the tanker impossible to be located.
Any call to the AWACS about remained without answer. So, let’s hope going better in the new V2 theater.With best regards,

Here’s a little TE if you want to test…
Choose Sweden as your team
F-16s and AWACS, on Station, on same team.
Verify that you have AWACS required checked in the config and tell me if you can communicate with AWACS…
or if you can spot an error that I’ve made.
Thanks -
I want to test this asap. But that may be tomorrow. Anyone else?
-
Sorry it took so long, but lots of work is going on in the background as Nordic Team.
any way the prob with this TE is no bug, and not a big deal. the awacs is Swedish sqdn and same awacs package is USA.
not real sure how you managed that but here is a fixed TE. carrier and awacs working fine.
I think all this TE needed was another awacs flight added. maybe first one was edited and needed to be deleted instead? Im not sure, but it works now.https://www.mediafire.com/file/l79mwgpc3ccocs8/chem%20trails%20fixed.rar

Interesting, just built the TE the same way that I’ve been doing it for years, in other theaters.
Thanks for looking at it. I will try to see what happened there and if it repeats in others.
Strange thing is that we get the behavior in MP campaigns as well so, we’ve unchecked the “AWACS required” option in the config.
Looking forward to v2

Hello, dearest Ned.
I’ve seen that last yours only now, and I was wondering if you managed to solve that strange issue with the tanker too…
A nice day, bellezza

On Badger’s TE I was just looking at the AWACS. And it had coms after I re added the awacs in MC. If tanker is on station but not responding, maybe doing this same thing might fix it.
Is this the issue you are referring to?
-
Not quite, dear Ned, sorry. But I’ve been unclear in asking, perhaps.
That issue I experienced was about the AWACS not responding to my repeated calls to know where the tanker might be, just as ‘he’ or ‘she’ never took off… the tanker was all in order and behaved well, on its own side.
Let’s agree this way, mate, I don’t want to drive you mad about this: please give me my time to post here that TE I was referring to, so you can give it a look and tell me what you do you think about after…
Thanks for your usual attention!And take care, bellezza
Gianni.
