ATC services aren't working

Post by Mirage4FS »

Hi. I'm working with the folks at RFN on a new AI package. We've run into a snag. None of the aircraft are talking to ATC. There are plenty of parking spots so there should be ATC services I would think. Is there any mandatory sections in the aircraft.cfg we need to include?

It maybe that you hit the same problem that we had with MCAS Miramar.
The new afcad was altered with real life comms freqs but none of the aircraft talked at all except on GROUND.

By a lot of trial and error I found that it did not like a frequency range.

What I would do is check the Comms and if necessary but back the freqs from the default afcad.
It took me two days to fix Miramar, hopefully it will take you a shorter time.

One tip I would use is do not have multiple freqs for one service. It did not like that at all. It seems that sometimes we can be too real for the sim.

Got ATC sorted but their inclusion screws up the typical Navy left hand pattern so will probably drop it. Also sorted the problem of the aircraft running into each other at the hold short. There are two invisible runways to line up for landing on the cable and for the potential of paired takeoffs. So back to the afcad.

The pattern will be dictated by the afcad so I would check that.
