F6 Ground Crew
After landing at a friendly airfield and taxiing to a parking ramp, you can communicate with the
ground crew for re-arming and re-fueling.
Prior to communications though, you will need to rotate the INT (intercom) dial clockwise on the
Intercom Control Panel to enable communications with the ground crew. You will also need to press
the HM (hot mic) button on the panel to initiate communications with the ground crew.
Once the intercom panel has been set up correctly, you can press F6 to display the Ground Crew
options.
F7 AWACS
After selecting the F7 AWACS option from the main radio menu, a list of all friendly AWACS in the
mission will be listed, along with their VHF AM contact frequencies. Upon setting your VHF AM radio
accordingly and contacting the desired AWACS, you'll be given the following options:
F1 Vector to bullseye. Sending this request to AWACS will result in AWACS providing you heading
and range to the bullseye/anchor point set for the mission.
F2 Vector to home plate. Sending this request to AWACS will result in AWACS providing you
heading, range, and the ATC frequency of the mission specified landing airbase.
F4 Request bogey dope. AWACS will provide heading, altitude, and aspect of the nearest enemy
aircraft.
F5 Request Picture. Sending this request to AWACS will result in AWACS providing you bearing,
range, and altitude of known enemy air threats.
The AWACS response differs according to the range of enemy air groups:
If BULL (over 50 nm): (Your flight’s callsign), (AWACS callsign), new picture, <number of groups
detected> groups. First group, bulls <bearing> for <range>, <altitude band>. Second group, bulls
<bearing> for <range>, <altitude>. (repeats up to three groups)
If BRA (under 50 nm): (Your flight’s callsign), (AWACS callsign), new picture, <number of groups
detected> groups. First group, bra <bearing> for <range>, hits <altitude band>. Second group, bra
<bearing> for <range>, hits <altitude band>. (repeats up to three groups)
