Topgun505 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I made a mission based at Kutaisi and when I attempt to contact the ground crew to rearm or refuel I get no response. My radio is set to INT and the HM and INT push buttons are pushed in as required. I've had no problems contacting ground crew in other locations. Are some airports just not equipped with rearming capabilities in the game? If so, would putting FARP units like in KA-50 at least give you that capability?

joey45 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I've also noticed this in FC2* but have tried moving to different parking bays?? *I can contact them if I move. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

I believe you need a friendly unit at the airfield for ground crew to work but I could be wrong.
ralfidude Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Underleft is right. 2 criteria must be met me thinks: 1. At least one friendly unit in the airbase to make it yours. 2. Need to be close enough to the tower. This only applies to big airports that have long runways, and if you find yourself at the end of the runway with the tower far away you might not get in touch with it. Repairs will always happen, no matter where you are. I repaired at an enemy airport a bunch of times. Not that it helps... the second you spool up your engines, the ground units shoot you up right away lol. As far as KA-50s go, its another problem. If the farp you are on has been attacked and some damage done, then you might possibly lose ground crew.

msalama Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 If you want a working ground crew you'll need the following - Red: 1. CP SKP-11 command post, FARP command post for radio communications 2. GPU APA-50 or GPU APA-80 for electrical power 3. ATMZ-5, ATZ-10, Transport URAL-375 or FARP Fuel Depot for refueling 4. URAL-375 transport or FARP Ammo Dump for rearming Blue: 1. M1025 HMMWV APC for radio communications 2. M818 transport for electrical power 3. M978 HEMTT tanker for refueling 4. M818 transport for rearming HTH mate :) The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
Joyride Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Just any friendly ground unit placed within 1nm or so of the airfield will do.

At an airfield anything friendly works. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
Topgun505 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Yeah that did it. I through a few fuel trucks and air defense on the airbase and the ground crew responds right away. It's always the simple things that trip you up the most. heh Topgun505 Win 11 Pro, Intel Core i9-14900kF, Gigabyte RTX 4080 Super, 128 GB DDR5, Corsair Hx1000i, Alienware 34" 2K LED, TrackIR 5 Pro, WinWing F-16EX, WinWing F-15Ex throttle, VPC Warbird rudder, Thrustmaster MFDs x3, Black Hog box.
joey45 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Maybe you or a unit needs to be in that circle in the ME???
