Can't get ground crew to remove chocks

Tip..:

In the hornet you need to start 1 of the engines ( right engine ) to be able to turn on the radio...

You can use the radio without eng. start with ground-power:Reset External Power Switch, Ground Power Switch 1,2,4 to B ON (hold down for 3 sec to lock them in down B position.):thumbup:.

Just to make sure it's clear in this thread, with the canopy closed you can not talk/yell to the ground crew. Why, because the canopy is closed. That is a very good model :o)

 

Make sure you use the "/" to open the intercom with the ground crew when you have the canopy closed.

It's happening with the Farmer as well. Just had a ramp start and no matter what the ground wouldn't remove the chocks

I have a problem with the ground crew when I want repair-

They can`t do it and ask me to shut down the engines, but then I can`t reach them on the radio anymore.

Can someone help me fixing my working this out ?

Hi ex81

 

To use the intercom do the following:

 

press \ (this brings up the communications menu overlay )

then you can either use the following keys

press F8 (ground crew)

press F4 (wheel chocks)

press F2 (remove wheel chocks)

or

press \ (this brings up the communications menu overlay )

then use the mouse to select the relevant commands

starting with ground crew

done

Hi, I am trying Exigent Rivera campaign and am having the same issue being unable to progress because the Ahole chief wont remove the chocks.....

 

Have checked / tried all the suggestions in this thread, and re ran the start up 4 times now.

 

The dick just keeps saying unable to comply.

 

To be clear, have tried canopy up, canopy down, using mouse and the F menu, radio is correctly tuned, parking brake on / off, no launch bar down,

 

So what else would cause them to not comply?

 

This is really frigging irritating as I really want to try this content out......

Apparently nobody knows how to remove the wheel chocks, ED doesn't know about it and it still a problem.  It always happens after the first spawn on the second time you have to choose a role on Multiplayer. Never a problem on the first spawn.

No problems here for me. 

 

If you have a short track replay showing issues please attach I am happy to check it.

 

thanks

I was having grief with crew chief refusing to remove chocks on carrier cold starts.  Discovered it was because I kept forgetting to arm the ejection seat.  Crew chief is real fussy fella...

I've tried to get chocks removed both with seat armed and unarmed. In fact I didn't think there is anything which I have not tried. If a multiplayer server respawns me with wheel chocks on I may as well just exit and chose another role.

Just wondering. Perhaps on respawn the chocks are not set. Has anyone with issues tried to launch when receiving "Unable to comply"?

Yeah I Have. That's how I found out there were wheel chocks on my wheels the fist time it happened. It's only ever happened on Multiplayer servers.
