Swany Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) So, did some digging around, and I see where there are some radio issues with SRS (not currently using it) but I haven't seen anything around what I'm looking for (which leads me to believe it's me and not the game/module) When I sit the RIO seat in MP and my buddy is in the front, he seems to be the only one that can use the radio. I never get any response. I can't get the ground crew to do anything, I can't get the ATC to respond, nothing. I tested this is SP as well, and everything works fine when I'm in SP, just not in MP. So, I'm thinking I'm using the radio correctly, but maybe I'm missing something when I'm in MP?\ Are there any guides out there for the radios in the F14? I'm mean, I'm not a total dolt when it comes to them (I have no problems with radios in other air craft, be it in Simple or Sim mode) I'm only having issues with the Tomcat Edited March 24, 2019 by Swany B.

sabreman Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Easy peasy solution: 1) Go into SRS settings and set "Allow INCOCKPIT DCS controlled PTT" to on 2) Go into DCS controls settings, RIO controls, Radio category and bind "Mic button UHF" to something (also Mic button ICS if you wanna use SRS for ics) 3) In game, turn on your radio (set it to t/r or t/r+g) then select the channel you want to use. Or set it to manual and tune in the frequency. Remember, the UHF repeater displays the pilots radio settings, not yours. 4) Hit your newly bound PTT button and you'll be able to talk all you want. If you wish, you can go to your "XMTR Sel VHF / UHF 2 ANT" panel (right bellow the CADC panel) and switch what radio you talk on. UHF 1 will let you talk on the pilots radio (he's still in control of the frequency and it's power state though), UHF 2 on yours, and both on both.

Swany Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Not using SRS, would this still apply, or is it dependent on using SRS? B.

sabreman Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Yeah everything works the same way, just dont do step 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swany Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Ok, so if that's the case, it's still not working. I just went through everything again, to include the Heatblur online doc's for the 14 and it works perfectly when in SP mode. But, if I'm the RIO in MP, it acts like I'm transmitting, but I never get any response. I'm on the right freq's (I've tried both VHF and UHF freq's) and nothing ever responds to me. Are there any other RIO's in MP that are running into this? B.

Swany Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 So it's some setting on my friends system we use as our server. I stood up my laptop as a server loaded the same map, and the radio works fine from the RIO seat B.

Whisper Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 What radio do you try to communicate with? AFAIK, RIO only has access to 1 of the 2 radio. Be sure to use the correct binding , in the real one it's one of the rudder pedals that is the radio trigger. Using the \ PTT binding probably won't work Whisper of old OFP & C6 forums, now Kalbuth.

The LT Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Yeah, RIO radios are bugged. Sonetimes the 182 radio would work, sometimes it wouldn't. Other times it gets stuck on VHF FM and no comms. It usually works for UHF2 when the comms menu says AN/ARC-182.

Roth Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I have not had any real issues. Confirm the radios are set to Man, turn off then on if in a hot bird, set freq front seat back seat, use XMTR SEL to select if I want to talk on mine or the pilots radio. On a few servers I have had to fiddle with the KY-28 to get it working though. There might be a server setting or something but turning that on to C and then Pad-1 or Pad-2 usually gets the radio working. Also I have found a few issues in hot start planes so I try to always go cold start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
