PLUTON Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Good morning I do not know if it has already been reported but when I create a mission with the F15E if the engine is already running the wheel chocks do not come off when I ask. On the other hand, if the request is made before starting the engine, no problem, they remove the wheel chocks. Am I doing something wrong or is it a Bug?? Thanks for the help
Rudel_chw Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 You need to either have the canopy open, or the Mic switch set to ON, otherwise the ground crew cant hear your request. 4 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
PLUTON Posted July 15, 2023 Author Posted July 15, 2023 Thank you for your quick response Mr Rudel_chw I will try the micro button because the canopy is closed. Thanks again
PLUTON Posted July 15, 2023 Author Posted July 15, 2023 Well yes it was the radio button that was not ON. A small detail that brings even more immersion. Mr Rudel_chw you really helped me. Thanks. 2

Canopy can be closed, just MIC to on. The position of the canopy does not matter in F-15E for ground crew com.

Are you saying canopy open, but mic off, won't work? I'm not updating this anymore. It's safe to assume I have all the stuff, and the stuff for the stuff too.

Actually, it does ... if you forget about the Mic switch, you can still talk to the crew by opening the canopy. 1 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB

strikeeagle Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 On the real airplane, I don’t ever remember having to turn on “MIC” switches to hear my pilots or talk to the guy on the ground if I’m running the jet. Must be a DCS thing 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Chris

When the JFS is running, it provides power for intercom as soon as the PMG provides electricity. Maybe the switch was just always in the correct position, but I’ve never had to turn it on.

I was not a Strike Eagle guy, but may just be one of those deals where standard procedure was to leave it in ON? Pilots are lazy by nature. Once we find a switch that we can leave alone forever, you can bet we will! 1

Ramps, starter switch, generators, exterior lights, DTM installed, etc. I never flipped that one. More than likely it was already on. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Chris
