Very very simple guide to using the radios
-
ok Im confused about radio deployment.
I have read the documnetation and looked at tutorials.
Still unsure!what I want is a simple list like:
load DTC
in cockpit - load DTC
if you want to say dial into DEP to takeoff - press COM1 on ICP
change presets to correct number say 2
type in required freq then enter
press T to speak to ATCor do I just get the correct preset then press ENTER
typing in the freq see,s to be a waste of effort if you have the preset.And if I use EZ boards for the kneeboards do I do anything different?
thanks -
Yes save the DTC (Click dance)
Load the DTC (if you did a ramp start)
COMM 1 to Preset 2…3…4…etc
Then T for ground then tower and departure.You can press COMM 1 and then the preset number or you can use the rocker to step up. You don’t need to manually set the freq if there is already a preset.
EZ board for the kneeboards have to do something different compared to what?

@megadeath as said above, use presets or freqs, not both. For every mission, you’ll want 2,3,4 for atc outbound, then 6 for awacs, then 4,3,2 (you can also do 7,8,9 - I think those the are the numbers, I always use 4,3,2)
Comm2 is 15 for first flight in package, 16 for 2nd etc.
Ezboards will tell you which one to use, no additional magic required.
