From 2fed84c676357999b0b77cfc9be13306d1d90748 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Albert Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2023 17:07:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Fix radio data for the A-10Cs. My earlier tests were not accurate enough. It turns out that yes, DCS does still do some channel clobbering with these, so fix the radio selection to account for that. I also fumbled some copy paste between the A-10Cs so the A-10C II channel assignment ended up in the wrong section doing nothing... --- changelog.md | 2 +- resources/units/aircraft/A-10C.yaml | 6 ++++-- resources/units/aircraft/A-10C_2.yaml | 19 ++++++++++++------- 3 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/changelog.md b/changelog.md index 5ae72522..a2196baa 100644 --- a/changelog.md +++ b/changelog.md @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ Saves from 6.x are not compatible with 7.0. * **[Flight Planning]** Package TOT and composition can be modified after advancing time in Liberation. * **[Mission Generation]** Units on the front line are now hidden on MFDs. * **[Mission Generation]** Preset radio channels will now be configured for both A-10C modules. -* **[Mission Generation]** Both A-10C modules now use separate radios for inter- and intra-flight comms (similar to other modern aircraft). +* **[Mission Generation]** The A-10C II now uses separate radios for inter- and intra-flight comms (similar to other modern aircraft). * **[Modding]** Updated Community A-4E-C mod version support to 2.1.0 release. * **[Modding]** Add support for VSN F-4B and F-4C mod. diff --git a/resources/units/aircraft/A-10C.yaml b/resources/units/aircraft/A-10C.yaml index fb1c16be..5c7c27bb 100644 --- a/resources/units/aircraft/A-10C.yaml +++ b/resources/units/aircraft/A-10C.yaml @@ -15,9 +15,11 @@ role: Close Air Support/Attack variants: A-10C Thunderbolt II (Suite 3): {} radios: - intra_flight: AN/ARC-186(V) AM + # VHF for intraflight is not accepted anymore by DCS + # (see https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=4499738). + intra_flight: AN/ARC-164 inter_flight: AN/ARC-164 channels: type: common - intra_flight_radio_index: 1 + intra_flight_radio_index: 2 inter_flight_radio_index: 2 diff --git a/resources/units/aircraft/A-10C_2.yaml b/resources/units/aircraft/A-10C_2.yaml index dfe1f8ae..e4441939 100644 --- a/resources/units/aircraft/A-10C_2.yaml +++ b/resources/units/aircraft/A-10C_2.yaml @@ -15,10 +15,15 @@ role: Close Air Support/Attack variants: A-10C Thunderbolt II (Suite 7): {} radios: - type: common - # DCS will clobber channel 1 of the first radio compatible with the flight's - # assigned frequency.
