No comms menue at all (ground crew)

[VTJS17_Fire]

Hi guys,

 

at first, the facts:

+ I have a vanilla DCS installation, no mods installed.

+ I tried the repair function.

+ Other modules and radio comms with ramp start hot setting works fine.

 

But:

If I build a new mission with ramp start (cold start), I can't open the comms menue. I tried it with Ralt + \, I also changed the settings in the options to only \. The comms menue doesn't showed up. My canopy is always open, the airbase is red (same team, as my aircraft). Easy comms is off.

 

I tried it at Batumi, at Maykop and Krymsk.

In the Chuck's MiG-15bis Guide I read, that some of you have the same issue. But for me, it seems to doesn't work anyway.

 

Any hints/ ideas?

 

 

Kind regards,

Fire

 

 

EDIT: And no, there are no other settings with this key binding (RAlt + \ or only \).

EDIT 2: Track attached.

Hi VJS161_Fire

 

when you have no power and canopy open use the communication menu, check key bindings. Seems to be working for me.

 

but also bare in mind the track you provided the airfield is neutral so even if you get the communication menu up they will not rearm you, solve that by placing a friendly unit at the airfield.

:doh:

 

I only checked the K-6 radio keybindings and throttle radio knob. I forgot, to check the common communication keybindings. It seems to be, that the radio menue wasn't setup correctly by default.

 

As I saved the new binding \ to my radio transmit knob (at the throttle), DCS didn't show me a conflict with another keybinding.

 

Thanks BIGNEWY, it's solved. :thumbup:

 

 

Kind regards,

Fire

Yeah, I can't get the communications menu to work in the air after I take off. If I don't exit it I can give one command to my Wingman. This is for latest (2/25/2016) stand-alone. Any solutions, or is it a known bug?:pilotfly:

Cunning_Fox,

 

I'm watching this thread with interest - also noticed the same issue - comms works until I'm airborne?

Make sure "comms menu" and "microphone button" are set up correctly - only one of them will work both on the ground and in the air. Also, do You use easy comms, or game avionics modes? These are known to cause some weird issues with modules functionality.

Art-J,

 

Thanks - I will check my settings and report back.

Art-J,

 

Seems to have sorted it now after checking the keyboard commands.

 

Thanks
