Matic_Prime Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hi, I try to play the missions that come with the Viper. However in those where i start from the ground i can only communicate to the ground crew or ATC. ATC also works after takeoff. Just the wingman is greyed out (easy comms are on). Any suggestions how to solve that issue? Bonus question: How do i get the altitude info of waypoints in the Viper? Thanks. KR; Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 AI are listening on "flight frequency" as configured in mission editor. Maybe it is in VHF range or UHF range. It depends on mission designer's choice. If it is UHF you must use UHF radio and the other if VHF. With easy comms there might be a problem where it tries to pick the right radio for you but gets it wrong. It's best to check that it's working with easy comms off so you have full control which radio you talk on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matic_Prime Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 Thanks. Can someone link a communications tutorial for the f16? Until now I was only flying with easy comms on. But this will change today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scofflaw Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Here’s a pic of where the mission freq is setup for the Flight in the ME. Someone please explain this to me - it says the flight frequency is 305. In all the missions, my wingmen will only communicate with me if I contact them on VHF preset #1 (127). Aren't I supposed to use UHF preset #1 (305mhz)? run come save me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 That is not my experience. I just made a new editor mission and wingman responds to commands on the ME flight frequency. I tried 305 specifically. He did not respond on 127. Are you using easy comms? Easy comms does weird things trying to decide which radio to use and how to tune them. Contacting with ARC-164 worked while ARC-222 did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scofflaw Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I have easy comms off. Can you try island style mission and let me know if 305 works for wingman comms? run come save me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I don't understand what island-style mission is. Can you make a Caucuses or Nevada mission to demonstrate this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David OC Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) It's 127 Scofflaw, image 5 of 5. Not tried the mission. Just a quick look. Will try it now, looks like a good mission. EDIT: There is a trigger setting up this 127 comm it seems. On mission start.

EDIT: There is a trigger setting up this 127 comm it seems. On mission start. Wow, I'm embarrassed. Especially since I read that briefing, but I somehow kept thinking it was 305 because of the mission editor settings.

Shadoware Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Which radio has the greater range in DCS. VHF or UHF? It would be better to use the greater range to ATC and the other to wingman right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Which radio has the greater range in DCS. VHF or UHF? It would be better to use the greater range to ATC and the other to wingman right? I can't be sure, but I bet radio simulation is only a rough simplification in DCS. Not even the radar simulation takes frequency physics into account in DCS. Banned by cunts.

Furiz Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Which radio has the greater range in DCS. VHF or UHF? It would be better to use the greater range to ATC and the other to wingman right? Usually it is like this, VHF = Very High Frequency - 30 to 300 MHz UHF = Ultra High Frequency - 300 MHz to 3 GHz But in aviation VHF and UHF depend on the country etc... anyway those are the bands, But for the range in miles you need radio strength in watts. for example 8 watt radio will have about 200 miles range in the air, while ships use stronger ones, 25 watts to have 60 miles range if they have a tall antenna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebabil Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Hi guys, let's say awacs freq is 310 and flight is 305 If i tune in to 310 to listen awacs, from that moment on i can't listen and talk to my wingman correct?

Furiz Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 That is correct, but you can set flight freq to 124.00 on comm2 for example (in mission editor or in game if your wingman is human player) and have awacs at 310.00 on comm1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Clark Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Standard practice is for the flight frequency to use the VHF (COM2) radio, so the UHF radio is free. 1 Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.
