Hello, the default key to type on country is /.
When you press the forward slash key the text window will open up, and you will see that there are four options for text and one for vox. You can set the text channels to what you want using the drop down menu in each channel box.

If you would like I can meet up with you in the Training Arena and I can answer your questions in person.

Welcome.  I don't think you can out-rookie me, but there are no dumb questions.  I've found out there are answers to questions that even I was too ignorant to ask.  Be sure to check the 'help and training' forum, too.  It's been a big help to me.
Rule #1 Don't sweat the small stuff
Rule #2 It's all small stuff.
Rule #3 What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.  Except redheads, they just kill you.

I remember when I started, I was so eager to fly I was using (to get to the radio) esc key, clicking radio on the clipboard, then clicking a channel, I also didn't know about the check 6 key shortcut, so calling out a bad guy who was lining up a friendly was a panicked flurry of movements!

Luckily Ghosth and Ozark were very helpful in my first few weeks and helped me out with it.

As SIK says, / will bring up the radio, and you'll be on country (green) channel, depending on what you have your other radios tuned to, shift / will get you the second channel, ctrl / the third and alt / the 4th (I think, I might have the order wrong, it's muscle-memory for me now) :)

Welcome aboard!

There is this page on the Aces High web:

https://www.hitechcreations.com/the-game-interface/using-the-radio

And this one that I wrote:

http://www.kentwoodstation.com/NewPilots/TextAndRadio.html

Between these two, you should get a good idea of how the text "radio" works.  Hope this helps.

When in doubt, in game go to clip board - Options - Controls - Key Board. You can look over mapped key functions. Welcome aboard, and I dare you to shoot me down...

Welcome to Acs High.
The only dumb questions are the ones not asked.

Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

No silly questions..the game doesn't come with an instruction manual and it does take a bit to figure out..

I know basically nothing about bombers and gv's after 20 years playing :)
