Cold start issue with ground crew in Nellis (and other airbases on Nevada map?)

[Ithronwise]

Hi folks,

I am not sure whether this issue is already known (Google and forum search didn't found anything). On cold start in Nellis the ground crew doesn't talk to me nor reacts, at least in the AV-8B and A-10C. I didn't test other planes yet but in the Zone 5 campaign for the F-14A it works. In Kobuleti on the Caucasus map it works as expected for der AV-8B (see the both short tracks in the attachment).

 

Best regards,
Rene

I'd start with checking the usual things in the mission editor:

a) is the airbase set to the same coalition colour as your aircraft?

b) are the aircraft radio frequencies set correctly for the chosen airbase (if they need to be set that is - I don't own either of these planes so dont know how radio works in them)?

... that was it! For some reason Nellis was red, my AV-8B was blue. Normally when I set a plane to an airport, the airport changes the coalition color to the same like the plane. I don't know why it didn't work for this mission. Maybe I accidently clicked somewhere wrong. Long story short, now the ground crew in Nellis talks to me again. Thank you.

Best regards,
Rene
