jaguara5 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 After the last update, the radios are by default in the off position (dashes in the respective indicator) and must be turned on. Could someone explain the mode selector switches? F1, R, H, Pol , Pol + G, what are they meaning?). Also, could you also include in a next update this (my favourite) livery ? (Cicognes Squadron, with white helmet, I think this helmet was standard in the 80's or not?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin_Hood Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Here's an explanation that was posted some time ago by Azrayen https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2641009&postcount=8 No. It's a test function (I know the manual says otherwise... it needs to be corrected). ;) Put the switch in R then press the red test button to test Réception (receiver). Put the switch in E then press the red test button to test Émission (emitter). I don't know what A2 means, I know it's related to emission/gonio. Correct. :) In Pal + G you have indeed double emission (your speaks on your set frequency and on Guard at the same time). F1 stands for Fréquence 1; a kind of fixed preset frequency (set on the ground), perhaps used for voice or data? Not sure. H stands for Homing. It's not very much used IRL AFAIK. ++ Az' 2nd French Fighter Squadron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonJosh Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 any plans to add moving legs and arms for the external pilot in the cockpit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrayen Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Thanks Robin :) I think I made a mistake (will edit my post from january). In Pal + G you have double reception, not emission. Pal makes you use only the selected channel/frequency/guard (depending on the other rotary) Pal + G makes you use the selected channel/frequency/guard + monitor (receive only) guard (which would be the military one, i.e. 243 MHz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But AFAIK DCS is not able to emulate that so even in Pal + G you won't really be listening on Guard anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DArt Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 That. But AFAIK DCS is not able to emulate that so even in Pal + G you won't really be listening on Guard anyway. It is working like that on A-10C :) [ https://www.lotatc.com ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunf Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Guard works only partially in DCS, and in works the same way in different modules (M2000, A10c, F-5E). You can transmit and receive on guard frequency (243 MHz) if you put the Manual/Preset/Guard knob to Guard. But you can't monitor guard frequency if you put the main knob to Pal + G (labeled "BOTH" in US aircraft). Must be a limitation of DCS engine, limiting monitoring of only one frequency at the time. Would be nice if it would work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashO Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 It does however work with Simple Radio. Just tested it. If I set my radio (UHF) to 264 and VHF to 251 and use Pal+G. I can receive voice chat on all 3 freqs (264, 251, 243) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe it is possible, and may be implemented if we nag enough the devs. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZBAM_ELMO Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Cribob has the radios working as they are intended to IRL with SRS so if DCS ever wants to implement radio communications then they already have something to go on.

You can edit them in the Mission Editor, before the flight.

TomCatMucDe Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 after acouple of updates ago I noticed there is a big number on the hud below the interception circle when a contact is locked.

Target aspect I think, can be 0 to 180. 0 means cold (flying away from you), 180 means hot (flying towards you). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
