HMD/NV Goggles option

[cthulhu68]

I've noticed a few modules have options you can choose before starting mission in ME like changing laser code. It would be nice if we could choose NV goggles /HMD this way since you get HMD by default even in pretty dark conditions. I know this can be changed through re-arming but I like to Hot-start and don't get chance to choose.

but even in hot start you can contact ground support and ask for changing it by radio menù

But might require to dial in to the ground radio first, not the frequency but the radio selector on your left side (don't remember its name).

It's in the manual.

 

Also, try open the door and "shout" your requests to the ground personnel (radio menu with open door)

I guess the problem must be simple radio not hot start. I just tried going through re-arm process. I can request the switch but ground crew doesn't respond or change it.

try in interphone channel if you're not with canopy open.

YOu have to have the correct frequency as well to contact ground crew if you intend to use comms. It will not work if the mission designer has not matched the Ka-50s default frequency to the one you lift off from. Check in briefing if it is set correctly. If not, dial it in manually !

 

In any case, SHOUTING OUT THE DOOR always works, regardless of any setting.

If they still do not respond with open door then the facility where you are does not have those capabilities like NV, Weapons, Repair, PickupZone, Troops, etc... ( see mission design options ).

Thanks for help everybody. I still think it would be easier to check a box in ME though. I think Gunney Highway said it best...
