No comms with AWACS and tanker
-
@Zeus Everything works fine in the other training missions. I thought it was a problem with the data cartridge loading properly when the mission starts, IDK?
-
Just flew training mission 2 - navigation to check comms, everything works fine.
-
Just flew AAR mission 4D again, preset 13 working good comms with tanker, preset 6, no AWACS transmit or response, weird.

Something on your end for sure. Just tried AAR TE with Goblin 3 flight, can communicate with AWACS (UHF 6) and Tanker (UHF 13) just fine -
@Atlas Hmmmm, just flew traing mission 6, no problem with any comms. I can’t figure out what is causing the inconsistent comms in AAR 4D. Thanks!

@mjones
Do you have anything mapped to a physical switch or dial? Having that set at a wrong position can affect the state of the aircraft, especially if that physical control is mapped as a DX input. -
@Atlas No, so far all comm channels have loaded properly from the data cartridge on all TE training missions except for the AWACS problem on UHF preset 6, and sometimes with the tanker on preset 13. When I call for Eyeball on preset 6, sometimes I can hear and see the text and transmission with no response from AWACS.
-
I forgot to mention that when I hit the “q” key to transmit to AWACS, the text is highlighted showing I am on the correct frequency.
-
@mjones Could you say which flight number you join? And once airborne, if you switch to preset 6 (it’s probably already on 6) and press F1 could you check the frequency on the DED and share what you see ? Then do the same for preset 13
It’s probably something simple. Although that mission is the first training mission with several flights to choose from and the click dance is vital here since there are three tanker tracks.

Flew the same AAR 4D mission yesterday, no preset comms on 6 or 13 worked. If I manually entered the tanker freq. 348.625 and AWACS 321.225, they worked.

@mjones You could try and open the DTC before you take off and click on the comms tab and click the comms plan button, and click save. Whenever I have run into this type of problem this usually fixes it. I have not tried it with training mission though.
