AWACS / GCI issue
-
My game does not have simulate AWACS option under campaign tab in F4Patch therfore there is no AWACS or GCI in my most campaigns. How can i fix this issue? it makes campaigns borderline unplayable

Not 100 % sure what the problem is.AWACS aircraft are modeled just the same way as your own viper, they have their own flight plan and station time.
If AWACS airplanes are in the air and on station, they will provide support to you on the proper radio preset (UHF 6, “tactical”). If you look for them on the 2D map, you will very likely find some of them (Sentry, Chalis, Dragnet…).
Naturally, if an AWACS happens to get shot down or is forced to return to base, you won’t hear anything from it.
The same appeals to situations in which you are too far away from them.But they are there, and, if you want, you may fly to them and you will see them.

Both in 80s and modern campaign i haven’t encountered a single AWACS yet. Played 5-6 missions so far and yet no awacs at all. In KTO or Balkans it is there.

@fegeleinn
You mean, no radio communication as well?
Hmmmm… maybe they are not available during the first hours or the headquarter management is still sleeping…I would recommend you make the experiment and draft an AWACS flight on you own.
On the 2D map, right click on a safe area and choose “add flight”. Pick an E-3 and watch what happens.I mostly fly Balkans, so I don’t know much about the behavior in other theaters.

@Amadeus75 comms are fine, however there are no awacs aircraft flying during any of the missions for some reason.

@fegeleinn
Weird. And in the ATO section (under “support”) - are there any of them listed?
What does your briefing say? Is there an AWACS listed in the comm ladder? -

Oh, what I meant was: radio communication with AWACS.
-
@fegeleinn In the ATO, confirm that under the “Command Control Communications Intel…” header in the ATO and look to see if you have any AEW/ABCCC. If you do, look to see what the TOT (On-station time) is. AWACS won’t answer you unless it’s on-station.

Hi,
please let us know which theater you are refering to.
Since you said “In KTO or Balkans it is there.”, i assume the problem is confined to a specific theater other than KTO.Did you apply any other modifications apart from installing the 3rd party theater?
cheers

Since he mentioned 80s and modern it’s probably ITO. Sounds like the old FLOTS too close, we aren’t going to frag*

@Magic49th it is ITO, in KTO and Balkans AWACS works fine but some reason i don’t get any awacs at all in any of ITO campaigns unless i manually place it.
