F10 communications menu in flight?

[DimSim]

A few times I've played campaign missions where the briefing says I can, for example, request help from another flight of AH-64 Apaches. Trouble is, when in flight, the F10 menu, which I believe is called the Radio Communications menu, and is by default bound to the back slash key, has no effect.  When I'm on the ground, this menu works just fine.

Am I missing something?

Yes, the backslash keybind, "\" is for the "Communications Menu" which is primarily used for Easy Comms and FC level modules. In FF modules Easy Comms will be depricated down line, hence why it only works on ground to simulate the ground crew. In FF modules you must use the PTT keybind. For single PTT/single radio modules, it's usually RAlt+\.
Cheers!

Thank you. I'd forgotten about that. I even had it bound to a joystick button.
