Possible Fix for: unable to call for repair in a-10c in world

[MTrenda]

Not sure if this has been posted yet but.

 

under the ground crew the option number four for A-10c in world is Stow the boarding ladder. this should really be option number 5 so to fix this you need to modify the following file:

 

<drive>:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Scripts\UI\RadioCommandDialogPanel\Config\A10c.lua file. <drive> = the drive you installed your DCS to, typically C or D.

 

1. make a copy of the file in case you need to revert back

2. edit the file using Notepad ++

3. goto the last line in the file (line 331)

4. change the following line:

menus['Ground Crew'].items[4] = {name = _('Stow boarding ladder'), command = specialEvent({type = 7})}

 

5. To this:

menus['Ground Crew'].items[5] = {name = _('Stow boarding ladder'), command = specialEvent({type = 7})}

 

this changes the stow boarding ladder menu item to F5 instead of F4. F4 will now be Request repairs and now allows you to make the call for repairs as normal. need to have the engines shut down still.

 

i tested this on a mission i had and it worked, not sure if someone has already posted this but i did not see it.

 

Thanks

Ive been testing this fix in DCS World 1.1.2.1 with results towards a positive direction.

 

Most of the ATC functionality and responsiveness seems to return. Sometimes is a 2nd startup request needed to enter the talktree again. Without this fix you need to start your engines or move into position first to trigger a response. With this fix the ATC will answer and guide you.

 

In singleplayer only a local fix will do.

In multiplayer the fix must be local AND serverside to make the ATC and groundpersonel react as in single player with the fix in place.

 

This isnt a bad solution to regain some stabilty and playabilty untill the next patch rolls out.
