Going to sound stupid... but accessing Ground Crew (How?)

Post by RAF0448 »

I feel like right a right Muppet, but here goes...

I've been practising my RIO Cold Start protocols in prep for my "Check Out" flight hopefully some time this future... (I rather "goosed" my first attempt with Mutley... sorry boss)

Anyway. I'm pretty good at it it now (famously lats words) so I thought that practice makes perfect so I tied it once again, but this time I've found a very strange problem.

In single player (Instant Action - Cold Start), in the Pilots position I can no longer access ground crew commands. Its set up a "\" but in the control menu its listed as (Keyboard) OEM102, and pressing "\" in the Control option instant shows me that command, but when I try in in game nothing happens. Tried remapping it with no luck. I've tried on multiple MP servers and had no luck there.

Like I say I'm probably being a muppet and hopefully you good folk can point out what I've done wrong or changed.

Cheers in advance.

You cant use easy radio in the Cat. Well you can but no one hears you. You have to set up the 159 and 182 radios in the kinybinds. I have mine as the up and down arrow so that it is easy to choose the 159 upper or 182 lower radio channel. Ground crew answers to all as they are theoretically outside the cockpit.

Doozer, don't worry about sounding stupid - It is pretty much mandatory for an F-14 driver.

Ground crew comes up with whatever radio you choose. Its effectively shouting out of the window.

All radios are bindable in the cat though even SRS.

Strange I don’t get any radio menus at all regardless of which ones I bind
