Pizzicato Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Hey guys, I seem to be having trouble with the radio on the -C variant in Open Beta 1.5.4 (and 1.5.3, prior to that). Basically, I seem to be unable to successfully contact any airfield after take off. I can pull up the Communications Menu with "RSHFT + RCTL + i", but calling any airfield (including the one I just took off from) results in silence. I can communicate just fine while on the ground... it's just while I'm in the air. Is this a bug or am I just not understanding something properly? i7-7700K @ 4.9Ghz | 16Gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz | MSI Z270 Gaming M7 | MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti Gaming X | Win 10 Home | Thrustmaster Warthog | MFG Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwd2 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Did you set the right channel from the R-832M AM Radio? Which airfield did you try to get in contact?

Pizzicato Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Did you set the right channel from the R-832M AM Radio? Which airfield did you try to get in contact? I tried Sochi (Chnl 3), Maykop (Chnl 4) and Krasnodar Centre (Chnl 17). In each case, I checked the frequencies and channels in the Mission Editor before take-off and was communicating with them just fine until my wheels left the ground. i7-7700K @ 4.9Ghz | 16Gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz | MSI Z270 Gaming M7 | MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti Gaming X | Win 10 Home | Thrustmaster Warthog | MFG Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwd2 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I put a L-39C over Maykop in the ME . InGame: - i can call for Inbound and get an Call from Maykop ATC, - i can ask for navigation assistents and get a Call from Maykop ATC, but - when i request landing, no reaction from Maykop ATC!

Hmm... that's interesting. I can't get any responses at all, but that's after taking off. I'll try an air start from the ME and see if I can replicate your findings. Thanks for the responses, MWD2. Much appreciated. i7-7700K @ 4.9Ghz | 16Gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz | MSI Z270 Gaming M7 | MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti Gaming X | Win 10 Home | Thrustmaster Warthog | MFG Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzicato Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Just tried on my PC in 1.5.4 Open Beta, but couldn't get a response from anyone - even if just calling "Inbound" or requesting directions to the field. What were your steps in order to get a reply? i7-7700K @ 4.9Ghz | 16Gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz | MSI Z270 Gaming M7 | MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti Gaming X | Win 10 Home | Thrustmaster Warthog | MFG Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzicato Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Found the problem. It was (predictably) down to pilot error. :) Turns out I was using RSHFT+RCTRL+i (Intercom) instead of RSHFT+RALT+i (Radio). I knew it would be something like that. I think I was thrown by the fact that only the "Intercom" binding shows up in the Communications section of the menu. You have to go to Throttle Grip to see that there's a "Radio" binding. For what it's worth, I managed to get responses to "Inbound", "Request Azimuth" and "Request Landing". i7-7700K @ 4.9Ghz | 16Gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz | MSI Z270 Gaming M7 | MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti Gaming X | Win 10 Home | Thrustmaster Warthog | MFG Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
