It is not the right button for communication (i know it is not logical). Search on forum. its "SPU-9 PTT" to be mapped on your button. I had this problem in the past.
Results of my tests:
1) You don't need to define an ingress point before initiating an attack.
2) For me, only attack targets (F2) & attack targets group (F4) commands are operational.
3) Before giving an order, check the shkval is not locked on a target.
4) SAM are treated first by the wingmen.
@Ricardo: I think there is a bug with the backup magnetic compass in your cockpit. A deviation of more than 40° is observed even at the beginning of a mission. With other HD cockpit the value is consistent with ABRIS & HUD values.
Did you put your first point as SP (takeoff from ) on the carrier?
I don't remember to notice my helo is moving from the carrier that is moving on the sea
In the HOTAS warthog you can add a piece on the warhtog (included in the package to simulate an afterburner detent. Its mechanical). It is not mounted by default because the A10 does not have afterburner.
Skulleader, no problem to take off from runway on the Kuznetzov.
I didn't find the way to discuss with the ATC of the carrier (no frequency/ no line in the menu com) and landing on that platform is not recognized on the planning ABRIS. May be it is not possible to communicate with the carrier.
Good job DEVRIM. Your hard blue cockpit don't hurt me. I like to change, light blue, black, hard blue cockpit, i have the impression of a new aircraft each time i change.
