RPK-10 radio beacon


Recommended Posts

Posted

I was in multiplayer...lost with my La-5 in the middle of nowhere...german side...snow all around....trying to find landmarks to get my way back home....nothing....

I flew all the way north-east looking desperately to my rpk 10 radio beacon to come alive....5 minutes..nothing....10 minutes...wait...I see the radio frequency power mark, moving a bit on the left side of the cabin...I fly that direction and the power of the signal increases...the radion beacon starts moving...I finally found my base short after....I was back home... :salute:

 

 

nice device this RPK-10...so inmmersive.

Good to hear that some navigation beacons are set up. Why do they not work in the campaign mode?

To me they work on single missions too...don't know about campaign mode....you just need to be close enough to the base to get the radio signal.

But RKP-10 (and AFN-1) work in campaign, just don't point the next waypoint and sometimes are out of signal range (~200KM), but if in range point for home base.

Anyway if the Instrument Panel is on (in EXPERT mode) the inverted orange V in the compass point for the next route waypoint.

Brilliant! A great type of satisfaction!

 

The second time I did Vetern66's new He111 mission, after bombing (and missing) my target and coming back toward home, my aircraft (me!) requested the homing beacon to be turned on. It made finding my way back home much less stressful.
