thanks - that's exactly what i needed - i was looking at the wrong knob :)

Hi, I'm still learning the basics of how to be effective in combat with this game, and the only way I'm able to take out tanks, etc is with guided ATGMs at the moment. As such, I often need to rearm during a mission - but I've found it *very* touch and go - i.e, often I will land at a helipad / FARP / runway and ask for a rearm / refuel and get no response from maintenance. I have managed to do it before, but not reliably. Hopefully someone can fill me in on the exact requirements for establishing contact with maintenance. I gather if I open my cockpit door, and maybe turn off the rotors, OR set my radio to a certain frequency, AND I'm within a certain radius of a fuel truck / supply truck, I should be ok. Anyone care to fill in the blanks? In the mission I'm currently flying I've tried all this at several FARPs and a runway to no avail ... cheers
