Communication with flight leader
-
Hi All,
I have a stupid question about communications. I have been through a couple of mission yesterday evening.
Both flights had only two F-16.
First mission I was leader, and I could communicate with my wingman, no pb.
Second mission I was #2, and no way to communicate with my leader… I could “hear” him, e.g. telling me to rejoin, but eventually I lost him and wanted to ask his position but the ’W’ and ‘E’ comm menus were grayed.
I obviously double-checked my frequencies, they look correct.
Did I miss something, or is it normal that you cannot talk to your AI leader?
Thanks for helping -
He was probably dead then. Maybe he needed you when you lost him and it was all your fault too

Thanks for helpingIf a comms menu isn’t greyed out the rest of the time when you are not a leader or element leader, this is new to 4.34. Let us know if it even happens.

Sorry eurybaric, my buddy came back alive. I’ll avoid the martial court this time :).
Lorik, I’m not sure I get you. Is that expected to get all the comm menu grayed out when not leader? -
Sorry guys to renew my question. I feel a bit dumb sometimes…
Is it possible to communicate with other AI pilots in your flights when you are not leader? -

That’s realistic? Why would that be? What if he was in trouble? He can’t call for help?
-
No, AI flying aircrafts is not realistic.
-
I thought AI were simulating humans? So, you’re saying the AI in BMS aren’t realistic?
Edited for saying something stupid. My bad.

If you need help you can send a call to AWACS.
As long as you are not flight lead, you don’t have anything to order to any other flight than yours.
You can only talk to your flight by convention. Each fligh its own IntraFlight and one must not interfere on any other flight’s freq.Not being able to talk to other AI flights, while not realistic, is not unrealistic either. This is simply something that should not happens.
BMS is not perfect … But we already have a VERY large panel of possibilities. Asking too much could be also counterproductive and rather pointless in 95% of cases.

You can dramatically enhance your realism/immersion with regard to comms et al, by joining a VFW.

I’d love to but I want to get all the basics down first. I learn slowly since becoming an old fart. The memory isn’t what it used to be.

Roger that. If you need any help shoot me a PM

Thanks.
Manuals are a lot to take in. I’ll just do it in small bites.
