Communications menu not opening in the air ?

[notproplayer3]

I don't know if it's a bug or not but I can open the communications menu just fine when I'm on the ground but when I'm in the air the communications menu won't open at all (even when setting comms on the ufc), this only happens to the f/a-18, in other planes (mirage, harrier, ka 50, ...) the communication menu always opens even when not setting up the communications

Ensure you're using the radio transmit keys. The '\' key is for non-radio communications which won't work while not on the ground. This will be seen by the specific text on the first line of the menu.

While in the air, try RAlt+# to bring up the COMM1 menu and RCtrl+# to bring up the COMM2 menu.

I'm struggling with the same issues after update to 2.7.14.24228 open beta. Easy Comms is ticked as it has always been, all the bindings are the same as they were set, haven't introduced any new community mods/skins/whatsoever just updated DCS. 

Prior to this update I would just press the key/button to open coms menu regardless of engine/systems on/off, on the ground or in the air in a F-14, now it doesn't. I've tried remapping and it hasn't helped.

Tried with radio assist on/off, easy communications on/off, on the ground and in the air and no matter what key binding or button binding I tried NO COMM MENU appeared

This menu was present from the day 1 of playing DCS and NO this is not "some" functionality of the radio comms and please do not reply if you are going to write that this is the way it should be BECAUSE IT ISN'T
