AbortedMan Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Only option I can see regarding beacons is "beacon channel" on vehicles...namely the "ndb" entity that seems most appropriate for being a homing beacon for the RPK and the German counterpart device. I'm not sure what channel would specify which nation or how to specify which airfield/aircraft (in multiplayer) corresponds to what channel...anyone got any pointers?

Jupp Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) ~S~! AbortedMan, Yes, I have some pointers. I wrote a whole wall of text earlier, and then decided to test out how it does actually operate "in BoS" MP. It's simply *face palm* 0=False, 1=True. Sure enough it works! Make certain to include the Country alligiance is Russian with a placed ndb as a Linked Entity for the Lagg 5 and Yak 1 to make use of the Rpk-10. Nothing else is required. Glad you brought this up as I can now make use of this feature in multiplayer mission design as well. Salute! -Jupp- Edited March 16, 2015 by Jupp 2
Jupp Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 ~S~ Everyone, It stands sharing that although the Rpk-10 is an optional mod load out for the Lagg-5 and Yak-1, it is standard equipment on the Pe-2. It was an ah-ha moment to realize this recently. ~S~
AbortedMan Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 Thanks for the intel, by the way Jupp...got homing beacons working on both sides.
Jupp Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 ~S~ AM, You know I was just thinking about this very thing too. Which German aircraft are so equipped? The He-111 comes to mind...
Sokol1 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) He-111 and Stuka have the AFN-1, Bf 109F/G no - dont know Fw 190 (I dont have this), probable no. Is this case the Bf 109/190 meet and escort a He 11 to guide then to home. The He 111 Peilgerät needle in Radio Compass can be use too. The needle "P" is TO and "S" is "FROM.

Jupp Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) ~S~ Sokol, Shame about the Fw-190a3 not having the AFN1, I checked, though it could have one fitted, as there's a perfect spot for one on the dashboard. And thanks for the information! ~S~ -Jupp- Edited March 22, 2015 by Jupp
