Antix70 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Not sure why there's a difference, but using the Communication Radio menu -> Ground Crew -> Rearm and Refuel leads to a different window than Left-Alt+' If you use L-Alt+' sometimes you will get no response from the ground crew. And yes, I tested engines off, door open, as well as running with radios on. This particular situation was a hot start helicopter, a Huey to be specific. You just hear the pilot requesting the services. Without changing anything else, if you use the Radio menu, they respond with COPY right away. Is it not just two methods going to the same place? One using the Radio menu, the other using a Keybind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're misunderstanding, because the \ is for many more things than just ground comms (tanker, ATC, wingman comms, etc, all of which are in-air) Scenario for you to try... Go into DCS, Instant Action menu item, Select the Huey, select map Persian Gulf, click on FREE FLIGHT. Once on the ramp, click L-ALT+' This will bring up the rearming and refueling window, set the fuel to 50%-ish, hit OK. (no sense in trying to re-arm, the helicopter is set up as civilian in the mission editor for this instant action) Your pilot will request refueling, and request rearming (even though you didn't ask for it) You will get no response. Now... Since that didn't work, press \, Press F8, press F1, you will get the SAME Rearm & Refuel window, but this time it will work, ground crew will respond with COPY and perform the tasks.

Antix70 Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 I have confirmed this to be the case with a few of the maps. Have not checked other aircraft just yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antix70 Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 (edited) My test with the Apache worked ok. I also tested on an online server of ours, the Huey would not refuel with L-Alt+' but the Apache would. They both refueled with using the ground crew radio menu.

Also - what do you have your radio's transmitter turned to. (ie:) Does it behave differently if set to PVT / Int / 2 / etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't use stock training and instant missions as a reference either, as they override some of realism settings you use in your own custom missions. So do the multiplayer ones, of course. In either case, please post replay tracks showing the issue, it can be Huey problem, or map/airbase problem, or both. 1 i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

Antix70 Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 I have tested on both Multiplayer, single mission, and instant action. On the multiplayer server, Same airport, Huey vs Apache. In the Apache, using L-ALT+' brings up the Rearm/Refuel menu, and the ground crew responds COPY. In the Huey, the ground crew does not respond. So it may be a Huey thing. Regardless if it's restricted to the Huey, or effects some or all aircraft, across some maps but not others, it needs to be fixed.
