How do you request a resupply?

[TheSovietOnion]

I'm using an X52 HOTAS. On 'Forming the Vanguard" my game gets getting hard locked when I have to request a resupply from the U-wing, but the key it tells me to press is my primary weapon trigger, and does nothing. The game just sits there. I can't even get to the control menus to try and change bindings. My SP game is effectively halted.

Tried plugging in my USB gamepad, tried using just M+K, nothing has worked.

Same issue with me. Same HOTAS too.
I dont even see the binding for this.

[TheSovietOnion]

OK, I tried without my HOTAS plugged in. The M+K keybind is '6.' 6 is the 'Comm's wheel' keybind. Going to bind that on the HOTAS and see what happens.

I'm having the same issue with my X-55 just telling press and hold button on joystick 1 but does not tell me what button, I'll try that button but I thought I had already.

[TheSovietOnion]

That worked for me. The deadzone on my stick got to be annoying so I unplugged it. Now I can't rebind controls on my gamepad. Yaaaaaay.

[TasteDasRainbow]

Yeah I straight up decided not to play the game until they patch the deadzone off. It's like playing a flight sim with with a trackball as far as I'm concerned.

On the X-55 the resupply key is the Witch Hat dial R8(Right) Hold it

The command is Comms window or something like that in the controller options menu under the flight category. Rebind it to something before you continue the story the next time you run the game.

I am having the same issue on a T16000m. Already have comms window bound to a control on my THCS or whatever the hell they call my throttle controller, still isnt unlocking it. I plan to try this mission - AGAIN- with just a controller to try and get past the point where it keeps locking. Anyone had any luck doing this? Will update afterwards.
Edit: Update 10/10/20,
I was able to bypass the issue by playing that section of the chapter with a controller, however I was able to go back and confirm it is the comms wheel that needs a binding, and in my case it needed its own binding (the second option for comms wheel), not the combination option. However I have since run into similar keybind issues with other commands that seem to have worked to advance progress by allowing the tutorial popup to mark it complete using the keypress for the combination version, even when it wouldnt actually activate the (hold) command mentioned in the tutorial.

Having the same problem, will try to bind the "comms" button, else have to move the mouse, then press 6 to call resupply.

[Team Triss]

Yeah, it's the comms wheel button

You need a button bound to the comms wheel specifically, I got stuck there replaying the mission because I changed to the combo ping/comms wheel and it doesn't like that either.

[Sungilawin]

hit the mouse to undo that hard lock it will then switch the control to the keyboard.

Cheers! I just used the single COMMS WHEEL BIND.

[AmericaTheBougiful]

Yeah, not an option @sungilawin - I keep the mouse input locked out. Aint no mouses in a TIE cockpit!
I believe it's the comms wheel and target wheel need to have their own dedicated bindings on HOTAS for the resupply command, and to direct your allies at your target, the Ping command- I think that was the other one is listed as.
