Radio freqs

[dan]

This is one part I still don’t understand well. Given any mission, I’m almost always at a loss as to what freq is for what. Mirage default campaign is nice cuz they explicitly say all required freqs in briefing. What’s the guard channel btw? What happens if you’re on a certain freq and people are trying to talk to you on another and you have no clue? Do you keep cycling through the mission freq and asking everyone for your recent voicemail? What are the 4 freqs listed for every airfield in f10? How to get tanker freq if not listed in briefing?

For any aircrafts only use preset channels. If the maker did not give those info, open file in ME or open mission planner.

Auto Briefing is done by me_autobriefing.lua. if ED upgrades their ME script. It is possible to generate info about each channel in briefing.

in some aircraft the frequencies are listed on your kneeboard (right shift+k to open, [ or ] to cycle the pages), some arent, in mig21 for example u can find the present channels on the right side of the cockpit. but in the mirage u can manually tune in the frequencies so its not really a big deal for u to know the presets.

guard freq is basically "emergency" frequency. its not really used in dcs, 2 frequencies are 121.5 mz and 243.0 mhz.

IRL, if you are intercepted by a fighter for example and if they want to talk to you they will be on the guard channels.

and those 4 freqs for every airfield listed on the map is just the different tower frequencies. u can contact tower on every one of them.

the default tanker freq is 251.000 if its not listed in the briefing its most likely to be 251.000

edit: alternatively if the freq arent listed anywhere and u want to have access to them, like the l39. u can always make a kneeboard by the default preset freqs urself, and paste the picture to saved games/dcs/kneeboard/l-39c
