      Just started a new campaign and enjoying this theater, but on some missions i cant communicate with my wingman? The radio menus are greyed out? I can hear him but i have no way of giving him orders. I have not seen this before, is there something i’m doing wrong guys?

      Thanks

        I assume that you are on CNI and that the radios are on.
        but that doesn’t sound like ITO specific thing, sounds like in-game avionics config

          CNI? I’m just starting out with the campaigns having been training for the last few months, i have the ramp starts down but due to time constraints, I start missions on the runway so all is already set for me. Is there something in the pre flight I’m missing? Will get another flight to check things out tonight.

            Are you loading your DTC and setting the tower frequency before taking off??

              Yep, I’m sorting threats & targets so load them all in via dtc. Gave up on that mission after getting a kicking. Tried a 4 ship oca, the radio works fine & I can talk to the others, issue targets etc, oddly, the AWACS menu is ok, but when I request picture, he doesn’t reply? Bit confused… working ok for the first one…

                By chance, did you check your volume knobs in the cockpit?

                  Yes both full, plus I have the radio text on screen too, my message is there, AWACS not.

                    So you’re saying the Awacs message shows up in the Radio subtitles but you cannot audibly hear it??

                      No, my radio calls show up, AWACS do not & I don’t hear anything from it but the menu is ‘live’ if you know what I mean. I hear my pilot request pictures, no reply.

                      So to recap, in the 2 ship oca I ran earlier, AWACS comms are fine whereas the wingman menu is grey. The 4 ship oca has no AWACS comms but I do have the flight comms…?? Going to restart the campaign & see if that sorts it.

                        And you were the lead of this flight?

                        “The 4 ship oca has no AWACS comms but I do have the flight comms”
                        Could it be the AWACS was not on station yet?

                          ^^

                          Agree. Wingman comms menu grayed out sounds like no wingman available to talk to.

                            if AWACS isn’t replying it’s probably just that he’s either dead, or off station. unlike the tanker i don’t think he gives ‘unable’ calls when he hasn’t hit sunrise yet.

                            what time is it in the campaign?

                              Yes I’m flight leader on both, the time is 07:40, never thought about him not being on station, that could be it?

                              @Agave_b, he’s flying right alongside, and can hear him say ‘2 airborne’ etc bit hopeless though since I drag him all the way there and back & he does nothing! 😉

                                Only time that happens with me is i am not the flight lead or he’s dead/shot down

                                  ‘Think’ i may have the problem sorted. I changed theater to Korea and had the same issue, no comms with wingman in 2 ship flight. Went over my .keyfile with the editor and noticed that i had some conflicts, the q (awacs) key was being used 3 times?! and the w key was 2 times, sorted that out and it seems to be working fine. I have reinstalled a fresh copy anyway so will see how that goes 😉 Thanks for all replies lads.
