Did you disable the comms menu for portions of some missions?

[sgilewicz]

As the title says, it appears that the command menu is unavailable at certain points in missions. For example, I just completed Mission 10 and on the way to the RV my #4 reported engine trouble and I saw a message indicating that 2 new command were available in the F10 menu allowing me to order him RTB or stay with the flight. I was not able to bring up the menu either by mapped button or by keyboard directly. I also tried using the RTB command in Vaicom Pro but no joy. I have noticed similar instances in previous missions where sometimes the command is available and then unavailable later. Any thoughts/recommendations?

All in all this campaign has been a great experience and has forced me to really learn engine management! The Jug is NOT for the faint of heart but is truly a beast if flown right. Thanks so much for your work!

You need to push the actual push to talk mic button on the throttle, the comms menu only works on the ground.

PTT has worked just fine and yes, I have noticed that the comms menu is available on the ground. It is, however, also available on Inbound to ATC.

What really brought this topic up was the Mission 10 trigger that causes Whippet Red 4 to call in engine trouble and a message pops up indicating 2 new commands available in the F10 menu. Since the comms menu is not available at this point in the mission, what does the player do to access these new commands? I tried PTT and issued an RTB to my #4 but no response was received and he proceeded on and made it through the mission.

Not a real big deal but a perplexing one. Again, thanks for the incredible work you have done with so much attention to detail!

You need to open the menu using PTT then as the message says select F10 - ‘other’

Okay. I understand, and that is consistent with how comms have worked throughout Wolfpack. The issue is when I execute PTT either via keyboard (RAlt \) or via Voice Attack (Vaicom) no menu appears to with which to launch F10. If I issue "PTT call radio menu" via keyboard or Voice Attack in any quick or single mission, the menu pops up and does so across modules. Perplexing...

Easy comms are disabled in the campaign to prevent you from hearing 36 AI calling out 40+ bandits all the time. So you can only communicate without pressing the button on your throttle while on the ground (like IRL) If you use the correct button, there is no difference though.

Press the VAICOM TX in, and keep holding it. Say "options", then "Take 10", then "Take xx" for the selection. Release VAICOM TX.

THANK YOU Max!!! Saying "Options" while holding PTT was the missing piece. really appreciate your stopping by and providing illumination!
