Adam Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Hi, Just wondering if there is any location where I can find the logic for the super carrier communications? I and a few mates have been having problems getting the radio options to change to give us new options. We normally don't get options to kiss off, clara, or call the ball (hornet ball) - even though we've been given Charlie. The radio stays stuck on option to 'See you at 10' - even after the our pilot's automatic 'overhead' call goes out. Every now and then it appears - but it seems random (and rare) and I was just wondering what the logic / trigger is for the coms menu to update/change? I'm able to Alt+F9 into the LSO position and see our aircraft stacked up. The first one gets the Charlie call and heads into the pattern. We get all other passive radio calls. (Right, Left, too low, Power, Bolter, etc where appropriate - so the system seems to know that we're inbound to land) as well as the landing score - but the radio coms never change. Case 2 & 3 seems to be working fine although mostly have been doing case 1 - haven't done too many of the others. Not sure if this is a bug or more likely we're doing something wrong. Either way - understanding the logic behind the scenes that changes the radio menu would be very handy if available please.

Pike Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Yeah. I made two approaches today, the first went well, but the second i was unable to get passed "see you at ten." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainey06au Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I've never been able to call Hornet Ball on a CASE I. CASE II and III are fine and I get the ball call option but CASE I, I hear nothing after 3 mile readout before the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Looks like I can 'cheat' by binding the BALL communication to a key/button - but we don't have the same option for CLARA. Thanks for the reports - I'm assuming this may be a bug and not me after all. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Mike Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Maybe you're too close to the carrier already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD FLASHEART Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hi Mark, when I get ‘go to alternate’ it’s normally because I’ve accidentally called inbound on one of the escort ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markturner1960 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 thanks, am using viacom, with simple comms, it does not do it if I use the on screen menu...any ideas?

LORD FLASHEART Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 The F numbers change to the order of the ships closest to you, so if you had a sequence of keystrokes set up, the number might refer to a different ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOXFIRE TWOONE Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Should be, that the ship you have tacan and or radio tuned too should appear first that would make more sense. :joystick: Intel core I9 10900K 3.7 ghz Asrock Z490 Extreme4 G-SKill Ripjaws V 32GB Cooler Master 120m GTX 980 Superclocked Corsair AX850w psu Samsung 1 T M.2 2 X 850 ssd's Sony 48 in HD TV Trackir 5 Hotas Warthog F/A-18C Hornet Grip Logitech Pro Peddles Windows 10 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAF-Falcon87 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Should be, that the ship you have tacan and or radio tuned too should appear first that would make more sense. :joystick: TACAN might work, but it looks like every ship in the group uses the same freq unless the mission builder assigns otherwise.

bonesvf103 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I've been experimenting with this. I have found so far that: 1. You have to call inbound for any comms options to show up 2. You should call see you at 10 when hitting 10 miles 3. You should leave the comms menu off until you call in overhead and they give you signal charlie. Then, when you turn comms menu on, it will say hornet clara/kiss of/etc. I think the biggest key is not opening comms again until you get signal charlie. v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

Doc Blues Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Im using Viacom Pro, and having the same issue of transmitting to the wrong ship and getting the Go to alternate reply too, even though I set the radio frequencies of the other ships to 124.500. For me, it seems the main problem to be that when I transmit on Ch 1 with the radio set to 127.500 AM, I push the Tx button and say Inbound, the radio changes to Ch M, 124.500. Even if I try to enter a new frequency of 127.500, on the next transnission, it reverts back to 124.500. So, now I'm at a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyman Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 try without easy comms maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Blues Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) I'm not seeing how to turn easy comms off and on EDUT Found it did not realize it was in DCS, thought it was a setting in Viacom Pro. Edited May 26, 2020 by Doc Blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
