Su-25 Repair Question

[Razor5-1]

Hi, I manage to get the ground crew to acknowledge the repair call, they say copy. But the damage never seems to get repaired. I don't get a timer in the corner of the screen like the other aircraft either. Has anybody managed to repair the Su-25 from battle damage?

[joey45]

Does that mean I have to get damaged to find out....:)

 

 

Bear in mind that shot down/destroyed is completely different from damaged...

Your engines have to be completely shut down on the Su-25T for repair / rearm / refuel

 

Press rShift + End and wait until the RPM needles are down to zero. That can take quite some time. Once that happened and assuming the airfield is under your coalition's control, it should work

[Ironhand]

IIRC, you also have to be either on the tarmac or a taxiway.

Yes I'v turned off engines, stopped on the ramp, friendly repair, refuel vehicles, opened canopy no joy with repair, ground crew say copy, nothing happens, i'v waited 10 minutes.

maybe it was lunch-time in the sim!? :D

I had the same problem yesterday. Groundcrew doesn`t care. They say Copy but nothing happens.

Also the airbase needs to be friendly to do that. IIRC you need to have at least one friendly vehicle inside the airbase for repair to happen. But I'm not 100% about that.

[Maverick82]

Im pretty sure its a "bug" or something.

 

Same place, same situation with an A-10 and it works.

SU : "Copy" but nothing happens.

[MadTommy]

If the Airbase is not friendly.. you will get the 'copy' response.

 

If you hear 'copy' but nothing happens i'm pretty sure it means it is a bug.

 

(if the airfield is not friendly there is no ground crew to talk to.. so no one to say 'copy' )

[Mohamengina]

I've found out that:

 

1. Some airfields say copy and then after a certain amount of time they repair you with no count down timer on when repair will happen

 

2. They say copy and then no repair happens at all.

I have found (need someone else to verify this) that if you right click any of the airfield buildings in the mission editor you'll get options to designate Blue or Red. Once you do this, you can see the airfield name label change from black to blue or red. I think that's all you need to do to make the airfield friendly from a coalition standpoint. After that I don't know if you still need vehicles on the field to enable ATC and Ground crew services. I can try to verify this later after work if someone doesn't get to it sooner.

 

Yes you can designate airfield to be Red or Blue in mission editor. From what i know- you don't need any vehicles on the field to get repairs at least for A10.

 

I've tested repair command and with A10 you need to have your engines off. If they are running you will get "copy" from ground crew but nothing will happen.

You're right- before requesting repair, get ground crew to hook up electric power (in F8 comms menu). Now you can safely turn off engines without worrying about EGI/CDU. You will still need APU to start up engines. As for NWS- I never turn it off and was able to repair.

Maybe they only repair the aircraft you paid for :D
