I cannot seem to get the ground crew to respond to my refuel or rearm requests when Im on the tarmac. Im using "easy communications" option. They simply dont reply. When I am airborne I have no issues contacting the towers.

 

Also, This is probably stupid but could someone please explain to me step by step what the 9 line is when I talk to JTAC... and what is the 15 min, 30 min check in option all about when I initiate comms with them ?

 

If any from DCS is reading this, I would recommend adding a training video for how to take directions from JTAC.

You need a friendly land vehicle at the airfield in order to use Ground Crew there.

 

There's a bunch of JTAC stuff around, but not many step by step newbie guides explaining what it all means, just how to do it. Here's a good video of the steps:

 

 

The playtime is just how much time you'll have available to be in the area I believe. I'm not entirely sure if there's an in game effect if you tell it one time frame vs another though.

having the same problem, I'm at a friendly/neutral airfield and get no response. Am I understanding the above correctly?: There needs to be a friendly ground vehicle placed on the map?? I see various trucks/tankers around--is that not good enough? I pull up right next to them at Tbilisi and get nothing.....please advise thx!!

Put various types on the concrete areas. Alternatively set AI aircraft to take off.

Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing

Did you switch the intercom to INT? You need to do that to be able to talk to ground crew.

I have discovered that the Canopy must be open in order for them to service the request.

turn that dial to "INT". the canopy will work but only if the engines are off. took me about 5 hours to figure this one out.

Weird, I've been able to ReArm/Refuel with the engines on and the canopy open ... just did it 5 times ... must be my config I guess.

 

WOMB - Works On My Box!!! ;-)

and the dial is on VHF?

 

that is weird... I was able to talk to my crew with the canopy open and the engines off BUT, I was in a bunker at the time... maybe thats the difference.

 

The mysteries of a complex sim are fascinating..

"Easy Radio" settings don't think it needs to be set to INT for that setting...

 

And Yes, this is a very complex sim -- the best I've ever enjoyed in the 20+ years of simming... Gotta Love It!

Yep, I thought they wouldnt like to be near running engines so I luckily turned them off, opened my cockpit + stow ladder right the first (serious) try.

Its a real bummer that you cant refuel/rearm during the campaigns,

most of the time my wingman goes kamikaze into a sam site and im left on my own.

Being alone I don't have enough munitions to take out all targets.

 

Would be way better if they'd just put a friendly unit on each allied airbase so that rearming is possible.

Now you just have to guess whether you can rearm, which 90% of the time isn't possible.

It also needs to be clearer where in the base you need to be to rearm.

Would also be cool if you could command your wingman to rearm and to have a ramp start campaign (without bugs) as a possibility.

Click on the airbase in the F-10 map which will show if it is friendly or not.

I use easy radio , and Ive had the issue at the base where I start , that the ground crew wont respond , and neither does the tower . Not all the time , just sometimes .

 

Also , once I contact the tower for permission for startup , when it works , I then cant ask for the crew to rearm or to adjust my fuel . It will just let me ask for permission to taxi , or then take off .

Here's a dumb question - that stupid dial on the panel... how do you know what it's set to, what with the whole lack of anything painted on the panel? :p

The position of 12 o'clock. There should be a marker on it.

I would love this to be fixed! or at least explained properly in the manual!

 

I start the mission and I want to change my loadout but nothing happens!

 

Hi BelgarionNL, Welcome to the Forums!

 

Here is a link to a YouTube video that I made showing how to interact with the Ground Crew. The audio came out very low, so turn up your volume before watching, and remember to turn your volume back down when your done.

How can you tell what that dial is set to? There is no "index" line or anything.
