Radio Menu
The Radio Menu holds every Tycoon cockpit action; the F10 map holds none of them. F10 does not open the radio menu: it selects Other after the radio menu is already open.
- On the ground, open the radio menu with #.
- In the air, open it with Alt+#.
- Press F10 to select Other.
- Choose
Tycoonfor general actions orCargofor internal crate handling.
Key bindings may differ when a DCS control profile has been changed.
Navigation
Finds destinations and site information.

| City | White |
Smoke appears roughly 120 metres to the right of the approach. Fire flare launches a red signal flare directly from the selected site and can be requested again after 30 seconds.
Drop illumination bomb lights up the selected site at night: the bomb ignites 1000 metres above the site's ground level (never above your own aircraft) and slowly descends. It can be requested again after 5 minutes.

Storage
Storage takes crates out of the stock of the site you are at. Pick the cargo, then how many crates you want.
| Entry | Crates taken out |
|---|---|
| Spawn max free slots | As many as your aircraft has free slots, even beyond its rated payload. |
| Spawn max payload | As many as stay within your aircraft's rated payload. |
| Spawn 1 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 24 crates | The fixed number, or whatever is left if the site holds less. |
Some of a site's crates may first have to be brought out of its storage. That takes a few seconds, and the crates appear once they have arrived. Where they appear depends on the site, see Cargo.
Messages you may see:
| Message | Meaning |
|---|---|
bringing N more <cargo> from storage… | The crates are on their way; wait a few seconds. |
only X of Y <cargo> requested are in storage - spawning what is available | The site holds fewer crates than requested. You get all of them. |
out of range for cargo here (X m away, max Y m) | Too far from the site: 500 m at an airfield, 80 m for an airplane at a pad, 30 m for a helicopter at a pad. Nothing is taken out. |
no room to place cargo near your aircraft | No free space behind the aircraft. Move a little and try again. |
rated payload already reached | Spawn max payload has nothing left to add. Use Spawn max free slots to load beyond it. |
cargo bay full | No free slot left. |
At an airfield, the first row Stored x/y shows how full its shared storage is.
Pin Projects
Adds a User Marker to the F10 Map. To open it, click on the red circle or toggle all markers with this button in the F10 Map:

Cargo
After opening the radio menu and selecting F10 Other, use the top-level Cargo entry whenever a Torque Tycoon crate moves between the ground and the aircraft's internal cargo hold. DCS's built-in rearm/reload and cargo-loading menus do not recognize Tycoon crates. Slingloads use the helicopter's cargo hook and are detected separately.
