AWACS commands were iqnored

[belcowin]

I requested AWACS Picture & Declare, but all commands were ignored.
In briefing document, AWACS callsign was ‘Sentry1’. But when i requested AWACS command, radio voice spoke ‘Chalice1’.
Is it bug?

[Revientor]

no, sometimes if you are far away the awacs ignore you, or may be the awacs was destroyed

Just second mission in mission list and first flight.

I restarted new campaign and then, callsign is same and AWACS reply well.

If i’m not mistaken i think you should be on the correct UHF channel too

Nope, Awacs (AI) works on all frequencies, from the BMS-manual:

What this means is that AI members of your flight will be able to hear you and communicate back on any one of frequencies which are assigned to presets 1-14. AI package members will only hear you on the frequencies that correspond to Package 1-5 (unless the package members are also members of your flight). AWACS and tankers are “smart” like your flight members. They can communicate on any of the 14 well-known default frequencies.

Awacs probably was out of range….
