Yep, I've been doing that. I keep it pressed until the light turns off.

OK, not that then.

The only other things I can think of are make sure the SPU-9 selector switch is set to VHF-1, make sure the VHF-1 switch on the right panel is on and make sure Easy Communication is disabled in Options and that you're opening the radio with the SPU-9 PTT key, which should be RAlt+/ (or AltGr+# on UK keyboards). Check in the Controls mapping that you've got the SPU-9 PTT key mapped (under Ins Cyclic Stick).

Has anyone been able to get this mod to work in the latest version of DCSW:BS2 (ver 1.2.14)? I installed this mod with a clean version of DCSW but when I check the radio dialog there are no options to talk to AWAC or JTAC. I tried the mission that is attached to this thread and I made sure the radio is set (push the tuning button until the light goes out) but the AWACS and JTAC dialog is not in the list of choices (ie wingman, flight, ATC).

So First i m noob so please dont bit me to hard Thanks

i try to use JTAC mod but doesnt want tro working .i use clean DCS version without any mod
my version is 1.2.16.49.372 For DCS

First try nothing Happend after put R-828 on (No F6-or F7 buttons)
second try i change name of aircraft folder who are different in Mods folder,and this time i have F6 JTAC menu with three options to contact assets but after my speach blabla 250 rounds bla bla what do you have for us ! NOTHING no answer (i m feel really alone at this moment) and No F7 button option

I finally got this to work. There was a problem with the original mission file in that the JTAC frequency was not set in one of the presets for the R-828 (VHF-1). This can only be done in the mission editor. I set mine to preset #7. I have also added more fuel and some more weapons as the original mission gave me guns only. I have attached the modified mission to this post.


To use the JTAC you perform the following actions:
1- set SPU-9 radio selector to VHF-1
2- using the R-828 (VHF-1) channel selector set the channel to preset 7. This has been configured by the ground crew (mission editor) to 40MHz.
3- press the R-828 tuner button. A yellow light will turn on. Keep pressing the button until the light goes out.

At this point you can call the JTAC (firefly) and request a mission. A lat/long coordinates are given which might look like this: 42'41.417 and 41'40.065. Write this down

4- On the PVI-800 navigation pannel set the PVI master mode to edit.
5- press the NAV TGT button and then the number '1'. This will be creating a new nav target #1.
6- on the keypad there is a zero with a plus above it (henceforth referred to as '0+'). Press that once to be able to start editing the first line and input the first coordinate given. You will not be able to input the last two numbers so in the above example I entered 42414.
7- press '0+' to go to the next line (there is no indication you have succeeded in doing this)
8- press '0+' again to start the second line with a zero. For some reason the second coordinate must always start with a zero.
9- enter the second set of digits. As before you will only get the first 5 numbers so in my example I entered 41401
10- at this point the ENTER key will light up. Press that button to save the target point.
11- set the PVI master mode selector back to 'Oper' mode.

At this point you should fly to the waypoint to the north. Once you get there go into hover mode and perform the following:

12- On the PVI press the NAV TGT button followed by '1'. The PVI display should show the coordinates you entered earlier and the ABRIS will have a box with a 1 in it blinking on the map display. If you cannot see it you might need to zoom out the map a bit.
13- Uncage the SHKVAL (default 'O' key) and the camera should immediately pan down to the target point and you should see the vehicles that the JTAC has you tasked against. It is not exact so you might have to pan around a little bit.
