Jester Ground Power

[pcartier]

Just purchased the F14 I followed some videos on the quick start where they connect ground and air from the menu, I did that and Jester responds "Connecting Ground Power" but he never comes back and say "All set" no response from Jester, so the ground power remains off.

Not sure what I did wrong.

If the plane has no power, you need to open the canopy, so the ground crew that does the work, can hear you.

I started on the ground, so from the outside view the canopy is open. I will try to close it and re-open to see if the works, maybe a re-install is needed.

That doesn't strike me as the kind of problem a re-install would have anything to do with, I would look elsewhere first.

Going from memory, assuming your canopy is open, I switch to ICS, then it's option 8, option 2, option 1, I believe, from the Comms menu (8,5,1 for Ground Air Supply).

Even though the canopy is open, I dont think they hear me. I selected refuel & arm and did not get a response back. Works no problem with my Viper, F18

 

I guess starting with the engines on will have to do for now
