[NO BUG] KA50 not rearming/refueling when engine running

Just as the title says, if I land, open the door, and ask for rearming/refueling, nobody answers, but when I shut of my engines, everything works fine.

I don't know if it's an issue or if it is normal but it's kinda annoying

Are you on intercom? If not, you need to switch to that.. Radio selection fully right.

Well, I totally never learned how to use radios on the ka50 so I thank you for the tip, thanks a lot and have a nice day

I'm not completely sure, but I think you can request refuel/reload by lowering the throttles and put the engines to idle, then opening the door. No guarantees.

On the left console near where you put in the frequencys. There is a dial. Move it to grd crew. I also open the door. Then alt \. works for me.

What may be modeled here is that you can't shout your request for more weapons and fuel over the noise of the running helicopter. I just use Ground Crew intercom every time.

This.

So no issue here then?

No, sorry again

I don't want to start a whole new thread, so I'll ask here. Playing the campaign, landing at the FARP in the KA-50, requesting rearm/refuel and having issues. I will get rearmed no problem at all, however, I will never get refueled, ground crew always comes back with "unable to comply". I have done this across sever missions now, and have not been able to fuel up.

I have tried it at the FARPs and airfields, and they still won't fuel me up, but they'll rearm me. I have also powered down completely, and still no luck.

Seeing if I am just missing something here, or of something else is going on?

Thanks

Not all FARPs have fuel trucks that let you refuel. You can request for it, but they won't be able to fulfill the request.

It should work, as long as there is an ammo truck and fuel truck on the farp.

Edit.

Quick test shows it works with the ATZ-10 Fuel truck with the chopper running or not. Does not work with the ATMZ-5 Fuel Truck. The missions possibly have these trucks in them? Should they be able to refuel the Ka-50? Guess so...? Otherwise the missions will need to be updated with the ATZ-10.

Thanks. I thought as much, seems that even landing at airbases, I cant refuel. Not sure if it's the missions themselves or what, but it's only when I'm playing the campaign.

Just noticed it during the last few missions, as I needed fuel, and they wont give me any. Bases show they have it, just refuse to give it up, darn Russians. I'll go back and mess with it, figured I was doing something wrong on my side, but since it works elsewhere, it could be the missions themselves?

If I'm not mistaken one of them is carrying oil rather than fuel.
