Skwabie Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 just getting into the DCS A-10 and doing the maverick training mission, went back to the airbase to re-arm but couldn't get it to work... I land, park on the taxiway, tune in the airbase freq 131.0 on VHF AM, press the int and hot mic knob, mic switch to fire up the vhf am menu and use F8 to contact ground crew. i can hear my own voice "request re-arming" but nothing happens afterwards. pretty sure something's missed out since i'm brand new at this:noexpression: appreciate the help!
Evil.Bonsai Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Haven't looked at mission, but make sure there are blue units positioned there. If there aren't, that may be why you're not able to re-arm.
Depth Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Did you turn off the engines? Give us a track file :thumbup: And welcome to the forum :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
WarriorX Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Hi Swabie! Can you watch this YouTube vid I made on Ground Crew interaction, and let me know if you are doing all the required stuff? The sound came out very low..so please turn up your volume. Don't forget to turn your volume back down when your done! Watch it in HD for best results. Also, in order to contact Ground Crew/Rearm you need to be at an airbase that is under control by your coalition, and is populated with units at the base. I dont know if the training missions met that requirement, as it's been a while since I flew them. Welcome to the forums, and the HOG!

Skwabie Posted November 28, 2011 Author Posted November 28, 2011 ah appreciate the vid warriorx. I was using the wrong intercom knob --> it's the big one! works great now. thanks for the welcome guys.
Dejjvid Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Did you turn off the engines? Give us a track file :thumbup: And welcome to the forum :) No need to shutdown anything. Park at a parking place, switch to intercom and tell 'em to rearm the hawg.

Skwabie Posted November 28, 2011 Author Posted November 28, 2011 hmmm this is weird I tried re-arm in a mission in campaign (Push - 6-2.miz) and it did not work. Then I re-flew the same in single mission mode and re-arm succeeded. Is re-arming turned off in campaign mode? sure would like to re-arm in camp to take out the leftover vehicles...
