I shall not trim my stash until the F-4 is released.

Yes, that would be cool. When we get Kola, we need a Finnish Buffalo!

You sir are a genius. I think it has the correct radio now but you have to go through some of the above steps to activate it. I can now talk to the ground crews. I owe you a beer!

After the primer you have to turn on the magnetos. So, does the ground crew respond to your request for ground power? I can't seem to communicate with them and have to do auto start.

I tested Rudel's mission with Easy Comms and Radio assist in on and off positions but it still does not work. I then tried both on at the same time. No change. I do have SRS installed which MIGHT be an issue.

I noticed it for the first time in external view, with the engine off. I only hear the sound if I have the camera rotated to the front of the aircraft.

Interesting, I am also on Open Beta but I still get no response. Thanks for checking, that means in problem is on my end somehow.

Thanks for replying, but no, it's a blue plane on a blue airfield.

I have not played with the I-16 in a while so today I tried it out in a mission I am making on the Channel map. I was unable to request ground power or wheel chocks. I used the \ menu, selected either option but no sound of the command being spoken and no response from the ground crew. I was also not able to get rearmed, the menu comes up but no request is issued and no response. I checked the Mossie in the same mission and comms were working normally. I uninstalled and reinstalled the I-16 with no luck. Anyone else having isssus?

I had the same issue and it's tied to the gunsight. If you turn off the gunsight the camera stops hopping back and forth between the two positions.

I did a test with the Su-24T, since it's the only othre twin engine aircraft I own. I mapped my SINGLE throttle axis to both engines, then mapped increase and decrease left and right to q-a, w-s. I was able to push the axis up to which brought both engines up to say 75%, and then use the A button to bring the left engine back to 65%. Not what I want ideally but I can't afford a new throttle. The nice thing is that once I used the buttons to separate the output of the left from the right, they stayed at 10% different even when I pushed the axis up and down. I have been thinking about this ever since I saw Kermit Weeks do a video of the cockpit in his Mossie and mentioned that for takeoff he used different power to the left and right engine to help control the torque on takeoff.

I just tested in an existing mission, Open Beta, Caucuses map. It worked fine for me.

Thanks Art-J, I see how it works not. //salute

I am on the ED not Steam version of DCS, but I have a friend running from steam. He cannot figure out how to download the free trail aircraft. Can someone give us a menu walk through. I don't use steam for DCS and so I can't help him figure it out. thanks

It appears to be just server load. I have had issues, restarted DCS then Ok. Only to have my buddys report they can't get in. It took us 15-20 min to all get on multiplayer and connected. One guy had to reboot his PC.
