Digital Aura Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 So me and some buddies were doing the Operation Bactria scenario (love this mission btw) and for the first time EVER I managed to empty my fuel tanks and all ordinance without dying. Time to RTB and refuel/rearm (which I've done plenty of times before). So being very low on fuel I go into the CDU to find closest airport and DIVERT to Koleki-Babu or something like that. Textbook landing. I'm thrilled. Taxi to park. I even went so far as to power down everything manually. Then i call in for refuel/rearm. :noexpression: No response. wrong Frequency? Nope. I Alt - +(Num) and cycle down to F8 to call refuel/rearm. Nothing. I try Interphone. (just hitting the \) F8 and wait. Nothing. I power up and move to the runway and try from there. Nothing. What am i doing wrong? Do some airports just have no ground crew?? (The option was not greyed out so I assume I did something else wrong). :doh:
RagnarDa Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 The airfield has to bo on your side ("coalition") for you to be able to rearm/refuel there. All airfields are normally neutral and you cant refuel on them... DCS AJS37 HACKERMAN There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.

joey45 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 also try the Left Alt and ' combo.. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Tizid Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 As mentioned you can open the canopy to speak to the ground crew on any channel. Otherwise you have to dial the INT Channel and use this to communicate with the ground crew. If that doesn't work, try another Airport. Please excuse my bad english.
Digital Aura Posted May 7, 2013 Author Posted May 7, 2013 CANOPY!?! :( are you kidding me!??! I spent 20 minutes going through the power down tutorial on my app and skipped the Canopy figuring what could it possibly matter. You guys yanking my chain? :pilotfly:
cichlidfan Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 CANOPY!?! :( are you kidding me!??! ... You guys yanking my chain? :pilotfly: Nope. When the canopy is open, the 'ground crew' can hear you.

Robert1983NL Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Normally the ground crew would just plug their headset into your aircraft. Can't imagine that being impossible on the A10.

That is what you are simulating with the canopy closed and the radio set to Intercom.

Digital Aura Posted May 7, 2013 Author Posted May 7, 2013 can someone tell me this... if the airport is listed in the DIVERT pages of my CDU does this mean they are friendlies? Can I expect a refuel/rearm from them?

Evil.Bonsai Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Unless repairing, I don't even shutdown. Just stop, open canopy, hit LALT+', close canopy, wait for fuel and stores t complete. Leave. :)
schkorpio Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 do you have to be parked anywhere in particular for re-arm and repair to work? e.g. if your landing gears don't come down, and you still land fine, but then can't remove yourself from the runway, will the you get repaired on the runway?

As long as your in the airfield area, you can get repaired. Not sure exactly what defines the area, but if you're somewhere off the runway (ie, grassy field near runway) you can be repaired. Problem is you may not be able to get back to runway. In some areas, if you are not on a paved taxi way, runway or ramp, you might be stuck. Sometimes full engine can get you moving.
