Or eventually you have a toggle button where you set your num-pad into "radio-mode" and dial the frequency displayed on the map.
I think better than this .. and easier in the long run for everyone would be if TD made the file where this info is kept editable in the stock sim.

As it is now in HSFX at least you can access the hudlog.ru file which is where these lines are kept and edit them. In mine the path is: C:\Games\Ubisoft\IL-2 46 HSFX 6.0\Files\i18n\ hudlog.ru

The file looks something like this:

MissionComplete MISSION COMPLETE
MissionFailed MISSION OVER
BlueWon BLUE WON !
RedWon RED WON !

EnemyAircraftDestroyed Enemy Aircraft: Destroyed
EnemyAircraftKillAssisted Enemy Aircraft: Destroyed (shared kill)
EnemyStaticAircraftDestroyed Enemy Aircraft: Destroyed

Mine is something like this:

MissionComplete MISSION COMPLETE
MissionFailed FAIL!
BlueWon BLUE WON !
RedWon RED WON !

EnemyAircraftDestroyed Scratch1!
EnemyAircraftKillAssisted (shared kill)
EnemyStaticAircraftDestroyed AC G+

If that file could be made available to us in the stock sim we could edit it as we pleased and that might be easier for TD to do than setting up switches and all that. That way they could concentrate on other stuff. You can look at that file yourself but everything is in there from the throttle settings to the bomb sight info.
