Radio comms? Or something... - campaign career

[Kattern]

Good morning, I'll try to be brief, I can't find a specific answer, how do I use the radio to communicate with the airport?
In the old IL2 it wasn't a problem, in the new one I don't know how to do it.
I started the campaign on the CCCP side, Moscow, MIG-3, all the NPCs talk on the radio asking for permission
to take off or land, they have the same planes as me, I don't see any hints in the manual,
TAB doesn't work like it used to, the tilde doesn't work either, what am i doing wrong?

Sorry for the stupid question, but it's very annoying, how do I know if I can land or if the runway is clear?

Best regards, after many years of break I came back to flying, changed my computer and finally I can ?

You can't radio your base.

The IL-2 Great Battles engine is coded very differently from the engine in IL-2 1946 -- GBs' engine is based off of the WW1 flight sim Rise of Flight which didn't have radio comms with the tower. It's basically an improvement of the Rise of Flight game engine with the name "IL-2 Sturmovik" added.

 

Radio Comms are all automatic in IL-2 GBs.

 

Something to mention is that during the Battle of Moscow timeframe, very few Soviet planes had reliable radios to communicate with the tower and wingmen, so commands were given by flares, hand gestures, and sometimes aircraft movements.

 

The devs said in a livestream back in October that they plan to add in the next installment where your wingmen and your gunners will warn you of enemy planes and you can request help if someone is on your 6-- will require a major revision of the AI for that to happen.

If the new installment is a bran new sim with a new engine I hope they improve more than just 6 oclock warnings compared to GB because right now communications are a disaster.

Just go ahead and land. If you wait for permission, you will fly in circles around the airfield for 20 minutes. I usually drop in right behind the leader and pull off the runway before he even stops rolling. What are they going to do, give me a stern warning or take away my weekend pass?

Please, I built a new computer and now I can run this great game with the best graphics settings, maybe they should at least stay with the current graphics engine, for me the graphics are perfect ?

Thank You very much!

Best would be they keep all the models and maps and include them into a new engine.

Hehehe NPCs. I never thought of them like that. With a fully functoning radio maybe they could give us quests?

I've always felt like at least a few of the career mode portraits got lost on their way to attack Helm's Deep.
