Comms menu quits working after takeoff

[Maduce]

My comms menu quits working after takeoff. What am I doing wrong?

 

After further testing, I don't think this is campaign related. I notice I lose the comms menu when airborne.

The Comms Menu in DCS (using "\") is basically just for ground operations such as communicating with your Crew Chief unless you've set Easy Communications in the options. It ceases to function once you're off the ground. Understandably, this tends to throw a lot of players at first.

Once you're airborne, you need to use the aircraft's radio. In the Apache, you use the Push-To-Talk switches. Make sure you're on the correct frequency, though.
