Switching on UHF radio implemented incorrectly
-
RTRFM
-
radios dont work in BMS, PERIOD!
- Radio works for thousand of players using bms4.34
- Radio don’t work for you in 4.34
Conclusion ?
-
radios dont work in BMS, PERIOD!
Thank God for you - I thought I was doing something wrong…!
Oh… wait…
-
thousands of pilots probably went through what I’m going through before they hit upon their eureka moment. I havent gotten there yet.
-
so how’d you make it work? I was using presets, so you have to enter ground freq?
-
Im using the takeoff script. I’m pretty sure it’s Kunsan. entered 273.52 and still nothing. I’m missing a switch somewhere.
-
Have you switched the radios on and turned up the volumes on both (left panel)?
Are you trying to use the backup UHF radio (left panel) or via the front DED LCD display?
If using the front panel buttons have you changed the dial to UFC on the left panel so you can use them?

In your installation directory there is a Docs folder, inside which you’ll find the Training Manual. Mission 1 Ground Ops will tell you everything you need to know to get the radios working as designed. For now, disregard Presets and enter the frequencies directly. This way you can be sure the presets are not causing problems.
You can even start the Training mission and go to Taxi rather than Ramp, this way you can be sure the jet will be set up as required and you can skip ahead straight to communication. Once you get that bit squared off, you can look to start from a cold jet.
But above all, please don’t make rash and indeed stupid comments about stuff not working because you can’t get it to work - all you succeed in doing is pissing off the Devs who spend many many hours of their free time on this stuff.

people here have thin skins. I was making a joke. you ever watch The Greg Gutfeld show and Tyrus says…. PERIOD! But. think of this. your in a classroom, right? Everyone in the classroom gets it but you. Your starting to feel really stupid. Then you get it, you enter the frequency and it still doesn’t work, you start getting paranoid. Then the moderator screams at you, then you start crying.
my bad on the enter, 273.525, I entered 520. but the 3rd character doesn’t show anyway? It wasn’t volume. the volume knob when pressed doesn’t do anything. is it supposed to? maybe based on another setting i missed. As well, on the subject of bkup/UHF. The manual states set to bkup, didnt see where it follows on and says set to UHF, COM1 doesn’t work when in bkup. I’ll muddle my way through but making progress. thanks for the advice.

Bit rich to complain about others having thin skins while simultaneously complaining about how you are being treated. In particular I love the comment about the moderator screaming at you. L3crusader, how could you?
More seriously. Computer programs work on data, and instructions. There’s a saying when programming the FMC: shit in equals shit out. You put the wrong inputs in, don’t expect the right outputs. You can liken the same process to asking for help. If you start your efforts to get help by complaining that it’s not your inputs that are the issue, it’s the program, that is not going to set you off on the right foot.
If you really want to figure out where the issue lies, the simplest solution will be to either take a video of what you are doing, and upload that video so people can see what you are doing, or you could write down the steps you are following, exactly, to operate the radios.
Or if you don’t care to solve the issue, and want simply to complain, you could just complain that no one wants to help you, and that you just need a mind reader to tell you where you’ve gone wrong.

Meantime, I spent 40min yesterday looking at “your issue” trying to reproduce instead of taking this time to continue going forward on my work on DB. …. 40 min wasted. Period.

training manual, mission 1: page 15:
Push COM1 on the ICP and the DED displays the UFC COM1 page.
[…] To enter the manual frequency, enter “27352” in the scratchpad, followed by ENTR.
Note that the last 5 cannot be entered, it does not matter. Remember the Scratchpad is the area between asterisks.It wasn’t volume. the volume knob when pressed doesn’t do anything. is it supposed to?
You need to be more precise, do you mean to ask of there’s a push feature on the volume knob implemented or that when you click the volume knob (left or right?) , it doesn’t move
There is no push feature on the volume knobs, you must be confusing the squelsh button, which has a pushbutton implemented and as Always in that case, it’s said in the dash one if implemented in BMS or not
Dash1, 1.2.1.12, Comms panel, page 25The push function is not implemented in BMS.
As well, on the subject of bkup/UHF. The manual states set to bkup, didnt see where it follows on and says set to UHF, COM1 doesn’t work when in bkup.
Training manual, mission 1: page 14
For the moment simply put the IFF MASTER knob in STBY and rotate the CNI switch from BACKUP to UFC so you can start using the primary onboard systems.
With that done the Up Front Controller comes online and it is suggested that you load up the data cartridge into the system before you set up the radios through the UFC. The DTC contains all the information that was set in mission planning. In real life the pilots carry it with them and load into the DTC receptacle on the right console. In BMS we load the DTC by selecting the DTE page on the MFD and selecting the LOAD button (OSB 3). The sequence of highlights of the OSB has changed so do not worry if it takes longer than before.
The reason we load the DTC before setting the UFC radios is that since the DTC has a comms section, the presets might be different than the ones pre-briefed. If you load the DTC after setting the UFC radios you might not be on the correct frequency anymore. For more information about the data cartridge refer to the DTC section in the BMS-Manual.obviously that should point out where you missed the information in the manual
Maybe You really need to look at your way of reading the manual and get a bit more attention doing it.
everything is in there, repeated and proven. -
Appreciate all the help

Now, I’ll steal this thread for some 5mins ,
What about UHF MAIN/BOTH switch (ufc & backup) , how’s that suppose to operate IRL? … Well IMHO that’s not really implemented? *Its not that I miss it , use it, so much (at all ) , just asking beacause I necer figured it out … I cant check that in singelplay,
For what I’ve ‘reckon’ so far , MAIN = only selected freq should be on rec/trans , BOTH = SELected freq & GRD freq muxed ? Correct?
-
Both = Main + listening Guard
Same behavior IRL and In-Game
-
Yes MUX’d.
-
Thanks.
That’s what is confusing. , so on BOTH , you receive both freqs in same time… But when transmit , do you transmit on eg UHF6 an GRD in the same time , whats the logic here?
eg…
MAIN
UHF 6… - receive/transmitBOTH
UHF 6… - receive/transmit
GRD ch. - receive/transmitIs that correct? Or is GRD listen only, on separate circuit. That would mean you receive and transmit on 2 separate freqs in the same time with one UHF radio… I’m not quite sure how radio could do that,…
…on the other hand it could do it with some time div multiplex (similar to frequency hop) , so switching between 2 freqs with some very fast relay many time per second/minute , … in theoryYeah, let’s don’t get too technical… just wanna know is it transmit/receive case in BOTH on both frequencies?
Thanks
–damn AMRAAM ,… you said it before I could ask, you read my mind ,… and to be honest I failed to see Dee-Jay’s “LISTENING ONLY” bah…;)
-
Only receive on Guard for both, you will not transmit
-
The off-squelch-guard switch would be used to quickly change to transmit over guard.
-
MAIN
UHF 6… - receive/transmitBOTH
UHF 6… - receive/transmit
GRD ch. - receive**/transmit => Nope!**
