Direwolf Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I noticed "communications" key (\) is not working as soon I take off. I mean, while on the ground, I can access the key, talk to the crew, to the tower, and no problems. As soon I am off the ground (in the air) it stops working. I can´t access wingmen, tower. I checked this behavior with FA-18 and MI-8 modules, and there is the same problem. But in those modules I can use specific radio keys (COMM 1 AND COMM2 in F18; Radio/ICS trigger in Mi-8), so I don´t need access "communication key". Is this a bug?

Holton181 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Tried [ RAlt + \ ]? Helicopters and Viggen DCS 1.5.7 and OpenBeta Win7 Pro 64bit i7-3820 3.60GHz P9X79 Pro 32GB GTX 670 2GB VG278H + a Dell PFT Lynx TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direwolf Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 Tried [ RAlt + \ ]? I can even change the command to any key I want (e.g. key "a"). The problem is not related to the key, but to the program, I think. For no reason, as soon I take off, the comms menu is not available anymore. It doesn´t matter if it´s binded to \ key, or Ralt \, or whatever key I decide to bind the comms menu to. If you´re not understanding me (English is not my native language), try to replicate the problem in your computer. Set an instant action mission that starts in the air, and try to press \ key (or whatever key you assigned to the comms menu). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toutenglisse Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Direwolf, the Ka-50 flight manual only describe usage of " \ " (comms menu), but I think 1) it's outdated or 2) only works if easy comms is activated in DCS menu. Like Holton181 said, when airborne (in fact all the time) you have to use " Ralt + \ " , which is not comms menu but "SP-9 micro button". Best way : map this command to one of your buttons and only use this one. It always works, in air or on ground, as long as you use a correct frequency on the R800 radio (left panel).

This key is assigned to SPU-9 PTT, and that means the Radio Button for KA-50. Thx for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
