No comms with AWACS and tanker
-
I’ve experienced a couple of times in two separate campaigns in KTO that communication with AWACS and tanker flights is not possible after a while. For example, I plan both AWACS and tanker flights with a 10 hour station time. During the first two or three (+/- 1.5 hour) flights I do in the campaign I have normal comms with AWACS and tanker. During subsequent flights suddenly no comms possible anymore (and hence no refuelling) while both are still on station (verified both in 2D and 3D).
Interesting is that when I looked back at the briefing screen of the flights in which this happened, the mentioned assets are not listed there, while they are on station. However, when they are listed in the briefing screen, comms are possible.I’m aware there was an AWACS bug in 4.33 but it seems worse now and also present for tankers. Any ideas?

+1 on mission in KTO campaign on 8 Jun 2019, at least for AWACS.

We need the campaign file when this happens

Here’s a campaign file where I have no comms with AWACS (flying from Choongwon AB).
I don’t have the one with the tanker issue anymore.

Sorry, even zipped, the file is too large. How do you want me to provide?

That’s fine I got the one above
Thanks

If still necessary, I can also upload a video, ACMI and mission files of a KTO mission (TE) we made and flew on our LAN today. (no internet)
Started with good AWACS comms, but lost it somewhere along the way. Towards the end, someone else was also unable to hear Approach / Tower / Ground.Won’t be online before tomorrow though.

Ten hours is a long time. Is it possible that assets bingo’d out on fuel?

Did you change manually the awacs flight plan before ?
-
I’m on day 2 of a DD campaign, and have had one flight (out of about 8 I’d say) where AWACs weren’t responding. I was on preset 6, and verified the correct frequency; I had also made note of the frequency before taking off and also that they were on station at the time I was calling, but had zero response.
I can provide the .cam file if it helps.

Yes, increased time on station and steerpoint locations.

Bingo
The awacs flight plan is all messed up
That’s why the ATO is BORKEN and comms ladder not setup properly
If you change flight plans make sur you do it properly

Provide cam file please

I’ll set a reminder to do just that when I’m home. If there are any more details you require, give me a shout, although I can’t precisely recall when it happend and on what day. The current AWACS in my .cam is likely not the one that wouldn’t respond.

Sorry I mean that I when I experienced the issue it was ~12 campaign hours ago, so not the same fragged AWACS as the one that’s flying now.

I have experienced the same issue flying 2 different campaigns in KTO. I do not make ANY changes to ANY flights (other than my weapons loadout) everything is set by the AI. It’s happened at least 4 or 5 times since I started playing BMS in the last 2 weeks. I have a fresh 4.34 install, zero mods, and when my AI wingman got shot down today during a BARCAP, AWACS suddenly stopped responding to my calls. I didn’t take any damage and hence my other comms with RTB and tower/ground were fine. Again, I don’t change any comms preflight, but I do write down the UHF/VHF frequencies prior to launch to ensure I’m prepared.
