Highspeed1964 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) In the excellent Huey Guide by Chuck, he mentions the GPU on more than one occasion. I've also seen in discussion that you only get one, maybe two attempts at a start-up on the battery and you will otherwise need to use the GPU. But I cannot seem to find any GPU options either in the cockpit or in the controls setup menu. Does this actually exist in the sim and if so, how does one engage the GPU for start-up? I've had an occasion or two where I needed it (bad start-up procedure - missed items) but had to exit the mission and restart to get a fresh battery. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Hope I won't need it but it would be nice to know. Highspeed Edited November 2, 2016 by Highspeed1964 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highspeed1964 Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Hmmm, cannot seem to get this to work. Is it in the comms menus? If so, how do I communicate with the ground crew? Thanks for any additional assistance, Highspeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1966 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Hello, You have to turn the round radio control knob to I believe it says "Int" then you can talk to the ground crew We are Virtual Pilots, a growing International Squad of pilots, we fly Allies in WWII and Red Force in Korea and Modern combat. We are recruiting like minded people of all Nationalities and skill levels. http://virtual-pilots.com/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cibit Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 We have noticed a bug in the 229th and sometimes you need to turn the radio selection rotary from Int back one I forget the name, then back to Int for the F8 menu to work. Also assign a switch for radio trigger radio as opposed to radio trigger Intercom.:) i5 8600k@5.2Ghz, Asus Prime A Z370, 32Gb DDR4 3000, GTX1080 SC, Oculus Rift CV1, Modded TM Warthog Modded X52 Collective, Jetseat, W10 Pro 64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Adding JTAC Guide //My Vid's//229th AHB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Instead of using the intercom you can also just open your doors. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Highspeed1964 Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Hey guys, Thanks again for your input. I've got it working now. I even tried it by doing a start-up with the throttle in the cut-off position to drain the batts a good bit, confirmed with the throttle in the idle stop position and no successful start. Then I called for ground power and it started. I even noticed the gauges showing a different reading when the ground power was connected. Cool stuff! Now to work on my stick control -- particularly in ground maneuvers -- and I should be set. Just looking to fly the Huey with command. Not much of a combat guy myself. But this all helped a lot so thanks so much. Highspeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highspeed1964 Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 BTW, it was a simple matter of learning the comms menus. Once I figured that out, the F8, F2 was the right sequence. Still very much a NOOB here and you guys are awesome with providing assistance. Highspeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
