IonicRipper Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I think the correct key combination is RAlt \ i5 4590 @ 3.77GHz | GTX 1060 6GB | 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 | 1TB HDD+500GB HDD | Win10 Home X64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IonicRipper Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 You are on realistic comms, correct? Make sure the key is still mapped in the controls in Ka-50 Sim. i5 4590 @ 3.77GHz | GTX 1060 6GB | 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 | 1TB HDD+500GB HDD | Win10 Home X64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-Six Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 In the options under radio communications the communications menu is set to \ Under the communications menu switch to main menu is Lctrl and \ I don't have a left windows key as I have a gamers keyboard which could be a problem SO far no comms menu....I should be able to get a menu to talk to ATC, ground crew, my wingman and flight shouldn't I? I don't need to do anything special to get it right? Still not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IonicRipper Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Well you need to be on the correct frequency to get a response but \ should still open the comms menu regardless, if i remember correctly. Did you look for the comms key in the cyclic controls? The Black Shark's radio button is on the cyclic.

Pigwiggen Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Two Six...I have the same problem. I'm still working with BS1 as I want to go through all the Training missions before installing BS2.

zaelu Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 the quick radio menu disables at least when far from airfield... use radio menus instead.

Adi Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 If I'm not mistaken there are two radios in the Kamov - try remapping both radio buttons in the options. Ipp-dipping at keys will take an age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-Six Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) I re-mapped it to TAB..That worked!! Well it did at the FARP but then as soon as I take off or do something else it seems to stop working.......

WildBillKelsoe Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 whats even more drastic, is multiplayer chat mapped by default to Rctrl+M. we should all remap that thing.

I also had trouble using the comms after take-off. When easy communications is ticked off in the gameplay options (e.i. using realistic comms), you have to use RAlt \ once in the air to contact someone. I'm not sure why exactly but that's how it is. If remapping the \ comms to TAB worked, maybe remapping the RAlt \ to something else will work as well. You can find it under the Cyclic controls. i5 4590 @ 3.77GHz | GTX 1060 6GB | 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 | 1TB HDD+500GB HDD | Win10 Home X64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, manually setting the radio station rotary dials will be necessary with some missions and some servers, like the 74th Fighting Tygers. I have successfully used RAlt+\ 100 km out for a bearing home when I have flight damage, but it does depend on how the server mission is setup, I think. I use the BS2 upgrade, step by step upgrades since BS1 in DCS World. Edited March 13, 2013 by DieHard [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-Six Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Nope not using a multi monitor. I have tried some more and re-mapped switch dialogue and switch to main menu to Lalt+TAB and Lshift+TAB too. I also unmapped anything that uses the TAB key. I found two things get new plane in MP and another thing I am sure I wont use. I can't find anything to do with radio and the cyclic options.. I still get a radio menu at a base or farp with my TAB key but as soon as I statr flying about ..no menu again.. Hummmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IonicRipper Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Sorry, i should have told you the radio in the Cyclic commands is actually called SPU-9 PTT. Remap that command to something else (perhaps Shift TAB or something like that?) and it should work. i5 4590 @ 3.77GHz | GTX 1060 6GB | 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 | 1TB HDD+500GB HDD | Win10 Home X64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-Six Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 I have tried re-mapping that key too. Still no joy. I get comms at a farp but as soon as I take off I can't get up any menus.

Two-Six Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 I did a bit more re-mapping and returning things to defaults, and applied the patch....I was doing the "on the other side" mission and all my comms worked FINE.... So I dunno...lets see if the patch fixed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayc00lio Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Try 'RAlt + #' key combination (no apostrophies or the + key obviously). This worked for me. The \ key isn't mapped correctly, at least for me it wasn't. I use a UK keyboard but the key is still the same. Try it.

gofres Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Hi guys, I’m new to the game and just going through training and this (among many other things) has been really bugging me. There’s been quite a few occasions where mapped buttons don’t work as the tutorials suggest, and some tutorials even miss things out altogether. I’ve been trying to map a comms button to the keyboard and tried a few different ones but none are working. I can however map a joystick button which does work. I’m soooo keen to get really into this game but my word it’s not made user friendly at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
