Nealius Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) During startup, once Jester closes the canopy the pilot still needs to request ground crew to disconnect stuff, but this isn't possible with the canopy closed. I have to open the canopy again to get the chief to disconnect air supply. In the Hornet and F-5 I am still able to talk to the ground crew without opening the canopy.

Megadyptes Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 http://www.heatblur.se/F-14Manual/cockpit.html#ics-control-panel Switch to hot mic and then you'll be able to hear the groundcrew.
Gracey Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) There is a switch for that! HOT MIC - Allows talking to the RIO without pressing the PTT. Also allows the groundcrew to talk to the crew via the external interphone. The left side Console, On the ICS Panel, select the right most switch to 'HOT MIC' This will enable you to talk to the ground crew with your canopy crew. Personally, I turn that on right away just so I do not forget and go.... WHY YOU TALKY TO ME? :P Edited March 15, 2019 by Pony Gracey's Village Always be yourself ~ Unless your can be a Unicorn, then be a Unicorn
Nealius Posted March 15, 2019 Author Posted March 15, 2019 Huh, TIL. Never had to mess with hot/cold mic in any other jets. I wonder if this is why I haven't been able to contact the tower either.
Kayos Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Huh, TIL. Never had to mess with hot/cold mic in any other jets. I wonder if this is why I haven't been able to contact the tower either. maybe that's why my radio isn't working too. Better go check [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
