Contact Tanker Help?

Hi guys,

I looked around the forums and haven't found an answer, so I've decided to post a new thread. I've been trying to do some aerial refueling, but I can't contact the tanker. I enter his TACAN frequency in and the radio frequency into VHF AM, in this case 150 MHz. I press the "\" key to pull up the menu and locate the tanker. I request to refuel, but i don't get any reply. Is there something I'm missing.

NOTE: This was tried on multiple missions and none of them worked.

Thanks

You pressed the wrong key :chair:

VHF AM:" Num+"+"LAlt"

VHF FM: "Num-"+"LShift"

UHF:" Num-"+"LAlt"

So you should press "Num+"+"LAlt" .

Thanks! I wouldn't have found that!:)

And,

when you select a radio, the name of the radio appears above the commands. So you cant go wrong!!

Same problem here TACAN set right found the tanker VHF AM set at 150MHz as the Tanker's freq and still no answer from the tanker. Also same problem with the JDAG i cant comm. I checked tutorials checked the manual and i can't rly see what am i doing wrong..:cry:

In a recent update to DCS World the tanker comms were changed to 251.0 Mhz UHF.

Try that frequency.

JTACs seem to work on 30.0 Mhz FM but they need to be setup that way in the Mission Editor.

Nope, the UHF option wont work..i just started over an AAR mission i've found on the forum. I set via the mission builder the correct freq for the tanker. Then i followed and doubled checked the pre AAR check list. I am doing everything right in my prospective still no response from the tanker. I just don't get it. So i ended up practicing the AAR just by maneuvering under the tanker...:S

You should try our AAR missions:

AFT01 - Air to Air Refueling Day

AFT02 - Air to Air Refueling Night

I do :D I also did i small research and did steped on the solution thanks to WarriorX http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=61349&highlight=Tutorial
