Tripps Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hi Team, I was wondering if there was a date in which an update to the AV8B will released to use traditional VHF/UHF Comms and not the current easy option ? Apologies if this has already been addressed in a previous post. Thanks Tripps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moafuleum Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Comms handling is really a great part of immersion and I usually have easy comms disabled. Switching to the Harrier and forgetting it, lets you float behind the tanker, already running on fumes while realizing that there won't be any cleared contact :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApoNOOB Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Just being able to use the presets on COM2 would be enough for now. Incase devs are not aware, we need some form of working 2nd radio for Simpleradio. Personally for me, that is biggest issue with the Harrier right now.

Buckeye Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) AV8B - Comms Just being able to use the presets on COM2 would be enough for now. Incase devs are not aware, we need some form of working 2nd radio for Simpleradio. Personally for me, that is biggest issue with the Harrier right now. Agreed. Insanely frustrating sometimes...don't even need fully functioning radios, just a usable Comms2 would be a suitable fix in the interim.

colyoap Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Iv been using the presets without easy comms on. Only use comm 1 in-game but be sure to set the presets in the ME for comm 2. For some reason they are swapped in the ME.

Gladman Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Yep I agree on the SRS issue. It works fine with the presets but we really need that second radio working. i9 9900K @ 5.1Ghz - ASUS Maximus Hero XI - 32GB 4266 DDR4 RAM - ASUS RTX 2080Ti - 1 TB NVME - NZXT Kraken 62 Watercooling System - Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas (Virpil Base) - MFG Crosswind Pedals - Pimax 5K+ VFA-25 Fist Of The Fleet [sigpic]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic99190_2.gif[/sigpic] Virtual Carrier Strike Group 1 | Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeakLink Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hi guys new to DCS been flying BMS Falcon, but I 'm wondering how do you read the Comms guide on screen in game at night? Is there a way to change the black font to a color you can read at nite against a night sky? Is this a Harrier problem and just live with it? Or is this carried across all models?

Nosferatuwhisky 1-1 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Wait what do you all mean by Comms versus Easy Comms ? "Chops" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karon Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Easy comm is an option that makes comms, well, easier. For instance it allows you contact ATC/tanker/others from the comm menu withouth actually selecting the proper frequency. It's a work around, de facto, for modules where proper radios are still WIP. EDIT: go in the mission editor and set up some tests, you can force Easy Comms On or Off.

Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I agree: letting us use the preset frequencies for the 2nd radio is what I'd like to see added before anything else. Generally I prefer to have the non-combat functionalities up and running before anything else (radios, navigation, ...), but that's just me.

Leviathan667 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 It's been a year it has been reported radio COMM 2 is not functionnal. It seems to me it is still not working but then I am new to the Harrier and maybe I am doing sthing wrong?

arturojgt Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 AV8B - Comms Hi Team, I was wondering if there was a date in which an update to the AV8B will released to use traditional VHF/UHF Comms and not the current easy option ? Apologies if this has already been addressed in a previous post. Thanks Tripps I use comm 1 and 2 with no easy communications, no presets, just manually entering the frequencies and no problems with tower, tanker, awacs, etc. May be I’m missing something here? May be I did not understand what you said. Sent from my Tornado IDS while on autopilot using Tapatalk Pro. Arturo "Chaco" Gonzalez Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
