How to get repairs

[Turtle47]

OK, I've seen a lot of talk and heard a lot of talk on vids on getting the ground crew to do repairs. So can someone explain to me how to accomplish this? I have jumped into a campaign, and made it through 5 missions without getting killed. Now I got all shot up trying to kill 3 T72s with the gun and some cluster bombs to no avail. Did manage to kill 1 T72 with the gun while getting all shot up. Eject would not work, now my canopy is gone and something is wrong with right engine. All I can figure out to get the ground crew to do is rearm and refuel and ground power. I limped all the way back to base, and then couldnt figure out how to make repairs.

Thanks, I will try all that.

Land, taxi/park (if able), canopy open, ask for ground power, shut down engines. wait for repairs

Does eject work normally for you otherwise? I haven't heard from damaged ejection and I thought i had seen all kinds of damage there was... So maybe I should get shot up more. :)

Engines seems to be the variable, at least in 1.2.2. I've gotten repairs with only the engines shut off (used the APU instead of ground power the first time since I forgot that was an option).

I've never managed to repair a damaged engine. Don't know if its a bug when you empty the fire extinguisher or not. The engine will only spool at 30% with ITT at 600C.

Some electrical system also bugs out when doing a repair.

 

And fire up the APU, APU gen and shutdown the engines. Then you can request the repair.

if the engine only spools to 30% try shutting the throttle to the other engine.

I have my eject assigned to a button on my joystick and it works sporadiccally. I think I might have found the key to that, went out of campaign mode and flew a quick mission, got hit by a SAM and hit the eject button 3 times and ejected to safety.

It's off, because it was not started. This issue been around for ages. And i don't think i'm doing something wrong. But i would be happy if someone could figure out what caused this.

 

I have ITT, so fuel have to injected. I don't think the engines compress air that hard when spooling @ 30%.

Yeah always have to hit the eject three times. I ejected by accident so many times in LOMAC while trying to ditch my fuel tanks.

Yep, this is as designed . "Bail,bail,bail" so pressing eject 3 times makes perfect sense.

Freaks me out, so try my best to save the bird but, when I want out 'I WANT OUT'!

Need to map it to my hotas, cause reaching for the keyboard and having to key this in a few times makes me dead
