pylotjon Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Hi all- I'm doing a cold and dark start, and when I ask the ground crew to release chocks, I dont get a reply or chocks to remove. I am also not able to talk with ATC- Is there something Im missing? I can go through the entire startup procedure without any issues besides this..Thanks for any help!

KlarSnow Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 open the canopy or have the ICS mic switch on. Just cracking the canopy open really quickly lets you talk to them. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylotjon Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 i tried canopy open and closed- I'll check the mic item- thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaakov Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 It happenned to me yesterday, it's not connected to canopy or mic switch. I loaded the plane and it was impossible to take the off - engines running, switches on or of, canopy open or closed. So I realoaded the mission and it worked with cold and dark, canopy open and closed. So I suppose it is a bug. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoYo Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Usually, to give Ground crew commands, you must have an open cabin, at least that's how most models are coded. Here, you may also need to have some internal channel open for voice communication with ground staff.

I've seen it after repairs (on the Tomcat), where I had the same issue, the solution was to cycle the chocks... have the ground crew place them again, even though they are already there, and then they will remove them... haven't had the issue with the 15 yet, but let us know if that works. 1 I'm not updating this anymore. It's safe to assume I have all the stuff, and the stuff for the stuff too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dporter22 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I'm only able to remove wheel chocks if the canopy is open. This is obviously not accurate so they'll probably fix it eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground crew can't hear you from inside the closed canopy. You have to talk through ICS with MIC on. This is simulated in other modules too. 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX3060 Rift S T16000M TWCS TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dporter22 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I wonder if it has something to do with multiplayer then, because in single player I can place/remove the chocks just fine regardless of the Mic switch position, canopy position, or whether engines are running or not.

You probably have easy communications / radios switched on, which will take effect in SP but gets over-ridden by the MP settings (most servers have it disabled). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoYo Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Yesterday I did a cold start with procedure for the first time, everything was ok, no problem. The chocks have been removed, also with the closed canopy (not needed). Check you comm settings in DCS, maybe you are on Easy comm? 1 Webmaster of http://www.yoyosims.pl Win 10 64, i9-13900 KF, RTX 4090 24Gb OC, RAM 64Gb Corsair Vengeance LED OC@3600MHz,, 3xSSD+3xSSD M.2 NVMe, Predator XB271HU res.2560x1440 27'' G-sync, Sound Blaster Z + 5.1, TiR5, [MSFS, P3Dv5, DCS, RoF, Condor2, IL-2 CoD/BoX] VR fly only: Meta Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yurgon Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 So far I've had no issues getting the chocks removed, singleplayer and multiplayer (dedicated server), doing cold starts, and usually with the canopy down when I request to remove the chocks. Those of you who have an issue here, can you try and get a track that's as short as possible to showcase the problem? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
