si239 Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Hi Can anyone advise me on how I can communicate with the tower before take off and landing at airfields as for some reason the key binds for the comms don't work at all.. Im running at 3 screen setup 5780 x 1080 if that helps in anyway Not sure what im doing wrong..also for clickable cockpits aswell it seems to be the same... any advice would be appreciated apols if this has already been covered but I have searched in the forums and tried with the solutions mentioned but im still without success.
gospadin Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 which plane and which airfield? My liveries, mods, and missions for DCS:World M-2000C English Cockpit | Extra Beacons Mod | Nav Kneeboard | Community A-4E
Rapidfire Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 \ or if that dont work; alt+\ :music_whistling:
Yurgon Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Depending on the aircraft, the correct button to bring up the comms menu while in the air is probably labeled something with "Push-to-talk" ("PTT") in it or "Mic switch". Again, depending on the aircraft, this might be on the Stick, Throttle, or Cyclic Stick, and might activate the selected radio, or might be a 4-way switch that activates the corresponding radio. More info on the aircraft/module, some of your settings (Easy comms?) and the mission in question would be most helpful.
si239 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 sorry for being so vague the problem is with all aircrafts no particular airfield tbh i thought they where all the same when contacting the tower etc i only have FC3 and Black shark 2 modules but im looking into buying the hawk aswell but struggling to get the game to work properly comms wise. i have a saitek x52 but i havent been loading my profiles as i have heard it can conflict with the ingame controls.. with regards easy comms i have it unchecked atm and regarding particular mission i have been trying with a default mission via the editor just practicing flying from 1 airfield to another via turnpoints. thanks
Yurgon Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 i only have FC3 and Black shark 2 modules In the FC3 aircraft, I think the key to open the comms menu is always Controls -> Communications -> Communication Menu. By default, it's mapped to the \ key. With Black Shark 2, there are two keys: Controls -> Radio Communications -> Communication Menu, default \ (can be used on the ground) Controls -> INS Cyclic Stick -> SPU-9 PTT, default RAlt + \ (can be used on the ground and in the air) With the Black Shark, things are a bit more complicated than that, several systems need to be set up, but that should be covered in the manual, in tutorials and videos, so I hope the above hints help you get going. :thumbup: If not, just post a follow-up.
Sokol1_br Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 There' s the fact that in 1.5 for some QM the COMM don't work unless open the mission in ME and save to fix the scripts.
DoctorStrop Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Try remapping the key back as it to \. I know this sounds odd, but I think it was originally mapped on a non UK keyboard. It shows up as oem**** or something, after I remap.

si239 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 thanks for the replys guys i remapped the keys onto my x52's last night and it seems to have worked not sure why i needed to do this but if anyone else has this issue its definently worth trying..
