known issue Ground Crew will not remove chocks Afghanistan Map

[Sn8ke]

At Bastion Airfield, after the last two updates, I am getting no response when requesting the ground crew remove the chocks. The airfield is blue. I went on other maps and it works.

Can you show that in a short track?

Apologies for the delay I was flying a trip for work. Here is the latest, which indicates a request to remove chocks, and also a request to rearm the aircraft, neither of which received any audible response from ground crew. The appears specific only to the Afghanistan map for me.

Thanks! Yeah, seeing the same. There have been similar reports, but I'll have to double-check whether this is already known or maybe a slightly new issue.

Both the airfield AND the heliport must be blue for the ground crew to work. Same at Kandahar. It seems to be an Afghanistan issue, since the ATC/AI traffic also has issues with the combined airfields and heliports. They're treated separately in the ME, but the ATC/AI treats them as one.

I’ll try this and follow up. Thanks Nealius.

I checked that out, apparently both the heliport and airfield must be set to blue, not just the heliport, or not just the airfield. When both are set to blue, the ground crew works.
