Human AWACS and IVC??
-
We just tested that IVC Works in-game when we are both in jet. NP
I can hear my friend both on UHF and VHF but for some reason I can’t transmit. I’m guessing this might be a key stroke thing. How can I check which keys are being used for the IVC client?
While in the AWACS I have tried both F1 and F1 +CTRL and ALT and SHIFT no luck. I have also tried to use mu UHF and VHF swith on my Cougar, with no luck. -
Are you going in 3D, or staying in 2D? I get the feeling you’re going in 3D to pilot the E3, while you should be in 2D, because you obviously need to see the 2D map to provide picture information. There’s nothing you can do while piloting the AWACS…
For the IVC client, I’m fairly sure the only buttons you can use are F1 - F3, but as said before, it needs to be the active screen. Best way to ensure this, is click on it, then press F1, F2 or F3. The corresponding “button” should light up while pressing the button.

You can also use the Online Squadron Collection to get AWACs data outside of the game.

I’m NOT in pit…Thats for sure. We only did it to test that the IVC worked.
BUT when I se the Client window and push F1 I do not see any change in the IVC Client window at all.
I’m sure this is a ERROR 40 (This is what we call it when the error is 40cm from the keyboard…read MY MISTAKE )I’m thinking it has something to do with the .key file I have loaded. or something else. Because it seems that the F1 key isn’t bound to the IVC when I’m windowsed. ( I tried to make sure I had the window selected by pressing it several times.

You guys know something, you BOCOWA just gave me an idea for a great suggestion. Why not have the E-3 playable in game with all the screens and tools? For example, you go into the E-3 Century at the start of a mission (E-3 is already “inflight”). You would then take command of the tasking orders during flight from that location with all the known mission data, flight routes and tools. Maybe one of the devs might post something about this. If it’s doable, it would be great!

An in-game AWACS feature like F22 Total Air War had/has would indeed be great. Maybe with 4.40?
-
That would be pretty awesome, because as a pilot you would have to keep your mission crew alive
But i’m still battling my comms problem. any ideas?

Hi, another exGCI here. Big problem here is that only TL of each flight appears in 2D screen. It is very easy to defy an human GCI with a wall or column formation.
As long as they don’t fix this (pretty difficult I heard) it’s a no go.
It’s like having invisible contacts all around. I was use to see everything!
Have fun! -

Well,. back in Global Falcon days, I would fly with a few VP’s. IVC worked back then but was very grainy and not realistic. We would have a human AWAC player using TS. Again, not very realistic, but you would have the AWAC screen/tools available.

WHAAAAT?
The next update is 4.40??? I though we would have to go through 4.33, 4.34, 4.35 ect. first! :rofl:
Anyway, It might be a simple transfer back to the 2d AWAC screen when you jump into the E-3, but with IVC access. Seems simple enough, but I have often found that simple suggestions are not so simple.

Hey Again.
I got it fixed. The reason it didn’t Work was partly because I had “FORCE LOCAL CONTROL” checked, which I read you shouldn’t and when I Started a game I hade IVC channel checked as well in-game, which resulted in the IVC crashing.
But it is now tested and Works.Thanks for all the help.

On page 58 on BMS manual it has a good explanation on how to adjust IVC client and make it work outside of BMS. just an example of something I do is create a specific shortcut on my desktop that will allow me to connect to IVC before entering BMS with a specific set of freq for both UHF and VHF and also it allows for me to be able to use the IVC without having BMS as the actuall active window as well. Once you read the info on Page 58 it will help you in what you should need to be able to AWACS easier. Hopes this helps if not let me know and I can try to explain it better.

I resume this topics because in my group we are using to have Human ATC/AWACS/JTAC but foe some of us it is not possible to use it (i’m one of them).
I state that when i’m in 3D everythings works well, that when i’m in ATC/AWACS/JTAC role i run Falcon in win mode, before i run IVC manually with admin permission, that the correct audio device in selected, that i select IVC win for to speak…
But i can hear the flights but they couldn’t hear me!!
If there is another JTAC in 2D he can hear me so i can hear 2D and 3D but only 2D user can hear me. -

Otherwise, once in 3D they won’t hear you. -

Seems you always had limited comms going one way or the other, regardless of the INI settings, selected a seat, didn’t select a seat, etc… But what you mention was the closest we came to something kind of working. One of the bigger problems was getting EVERYONE to modify their files.

Also run ivc as admin.
Also, anytime someone says human awacs, i’m obligated by contract to say… http://www.falconc2.org

If anyone figures it out, let me know… running as admin, with adjusted outsider setting, even with taking a seat still not having people hear me… I miss 4.32 AWACS

Every One needs to have outsider all active in their own ivc ini file or it won’t work.
We do it for some years now in the Bvt with succes. We notice for example after updating to u3 tje ivc file gets overwritten again, so then some forget to adjust it again and cant hear ATC/GCI. -

It’s been a small problem for the 8 OSS, so I’m sure this is probably a good fix. If even one player is missing the .ini change, it will fail correct?
