Radio Menu key "\" doesn't work-no commands show.

Recommended Posts

Just fired up the BS2 sim -after being away from it for about a week and my "\" Radio Menu doesn't show. Nothing-no ATC, Wingman, or ground commands-on the ground and in the air when I press the "\".

Is this a bug?

I did a search and saw some strings regarding modifying the keyboard.lua. But that didn't work for me.

I'm flying BS2 with the latest patch. Sim is installed as a standalone.

Options is set to easy communications.

Haven't modified anything really except skins.

The mapping got changed fairly recently. You'll need to use RALT+\ to bring up the menu.

 

Not clear on why it changed or what value it brings, though. Maybe someone can help clear that up for me. I'm probably missing something really obvious.

 

Note: You'll also need to pay attention to radio frequencies now (along with your switch setting if you want to talk to your ground crew).

This key does only work on the US-Layout. If you have a different keyboard or a different input-language selected, they key does not respond.

 

(DCS does not correspond to the String "/", but to the actuall Raw-Input)

Thanks - I read all the strings on this. And they mentioned what you wrote Pizzicato. How could that happen the change? Been playing this for 2 months then boom. I haven't upgraded my standalone BS2 since I downloaded it in Dec 2012 and it's not in the DCS World. :joystick:

Weird.

 

I have a US Layout.

 

So how does something change when you don't add a patch?

Same problem here - I get a comms menu when I'm on the ground, but as soon as I take off, the \ key does nothing.

 

As I said, you need to use RALT+\, not just \. I appreciate that it's confusing that \ works on the ground for certain functions, but RALT+\ is actually the right combination to use.

I don't mean to bump an ancient thread, but I'm having basically the same problem. Except mine is worse. I can't get any communication menu to display anywhere (on the ground or in the air)

 

rALT-\ does nothing, remapping it does nothing. I deleted the keyboard.diff LUA file for my respective aircraft. nothing. I just don't have the comms menu in any situation.

It's not my war!

try and run a repair on the DCS.
