Flaming Cliffs 3: Refuel, Rearm, & Repair tutorial for any FC3 aircraft

Flaming Cliffs 3 beta: Tutorial on how to refuel, rearm, and repair the SU-25T Frogfoot (or any aircraft)

How to refuel and rearm

1. Make sure airport is the same coalition as you are, otherwise you cannot refuel, rearm, and repair.
2. Engines are completely stopped
3. Canopy is open
4. Electrical power can be on or off
5. Press LAlt + ' to open rearm and refuel menu

How to repair aircraft
1. Land at friendly coalition base
2. Shut down engines and wait until they are completely stopped (0 rpm)
3. Ask ground crew to turn on ground electrical power
4. Ask ground crew for repairs
5. Wait three minutes for repairs to be completed

Rearming, refueling, and repairing procedures may change in the future. There are some known bugs even though all the procedures and requirements are correct. Check the Eagle Dynamics forum for help. I cut out most of the three minutes wait time for repairs.

DCS World is free and comes with a flyable Su-25T Frogfoot.

I have been trying for the past few months to figure out how to refuel and repair, and I’ve landed at airfields, saw that the icon was blue and thought that meant friendly...
I have only just realised by clicking on the airport, it says the coalition, and that’s the whole reason why, for bloody months...
God I’m stupid...

Quick radio command key: \

It will open up a menu where you press F8 for ground crew. Hope this helps.

Thanks a bundle friend. This helped bigtime.

Hi. I'm completly lost on these steps:
3. Ask ground crew to turn on ground electrical power - how do you ask them do do so? (any keybord shortcut)
4. Ask ground crew for repairs
5. Wait three minutes for repairs to be completed
cheers

You are correct. Hopefully sooner than later and not graveware.

The repair in DCS reminds me of a certain auto insurance commercial.

[marceljansen]

Can you change the airfield during the flight? Or do you have to do that before start?

[kristofpalfi]

what keycombo do i have to use to call ground crew?

[calantlor]

there is no option to ask GC for repairs in FC2 but can it be done in fc2?

[bigbro]

i prefer it the way a10c dose it, it makes me fleel like i crash land in dagohbah.

If I could go back in time, I would have waited until the final version. FC3 is still in beta and really buggy and not stable at all. $50.00 is a bit too steep...

[ThirstyCorners]

hehe, they say that when you start moving while they are refueling and rearming lol

[ThirstyCorners]

Yep, Russian models are exactly the same.

New Russian models are coming, if I know right...
