Oldfox Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hey pilots, again probably some stupid question but after reading tons of tutorials I'm still not sure if it's me or if it's not possible: Usually you would always have your flight on a channel, and second channel switched between JTAC/ATC/AWACS ... But as the Viggen only has one radio.... It seems pretty limiting to only listen to my flight OR Awacs for example but not both. Or even more troublesome: how would you do as a wingman: you need to listen to the leader.. so don't have access to Awacs update and expect the leader to relay them to you? Sounds complicated :cry: Guard channel is only emergency and can't be changed in flight right? So it doesn't seem to suit that role well... Thanks for your help!

grunf Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Guard channel is only emergency and can't be changed in flight right? So it doesn't seem to suit that role well... Guard channel doesn't work anyway... Devs, hint :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldfox Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 So basically you can only monitor your wingman OR awacs? That sounds pretty limited for a jet striker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holton181 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 So basically you can only monitor your wingman OR awacs? That sounds pretty limited for a jet striker?Remember it's a Swedish jet, developed for the Swedish airforce and tactics only. Sweden doesn't use AWACS in the sense USA do for instance. Also with the Viggen you are supposed to know "everything" about your dedicated target, have a thorough plan before takeoff, focusing on that and when done, RTB. No room for improvised strikes on targets of opportunity. Swedish pilots where even highly skilled to deploy their plans in total radio silence, even in multi flight operations, basically talking to no-one during the entire flight. So basically you shouldn't need any radio at all ;-) Helicopters and Viggen DCS 1.5.7 and OpenBeta Win7 Pro 64bit i7-3820 3.60GHz P9X79 Pro 32GB GTX 670 2GB VG278H + a Dell PFT Lynx TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOViper Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 And if you hit the wrong button on the computer everything can go wrong :D be aware of the following limitations: "OT" Man can handle "multitasking".
