Radio Communication

[Frequent_Flyer]

Hello Al,

 

I create single player missions.I use the "radio/ndb " beacon vehicle,to have a Radio comm. send to my flight, telling  the direction,distance and altitude of the enemy aircraft in relation to my flight ?

I have accomplished this using the ndb/cmd cover/cmd attack area setting radius to 12,000 etc. However, it only randomly works. Some missions I am told on regular intervals where the enemy aircraft are heading and distance from me. Other's I never hear a word. I have tried to reverse engineer  and replicate what works but  I cannot figure it out.any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you use the method linked to in this post (also see the follow-up posts after that one)?

 

Just after this post, Juri_JS said that the radio comm functionality I wrote about worked again. I have not done any follow-up tests yet.

hello Jim,

 

Thank you,! It worked perfectly. i kept your 3 page PDF for reference.

 

I did notice that the messages will call out enemy  fighters, however not bombers when you have both in the same mission.
