How the hell do you use UAVs!?

Hey guys.

I have played PR for a couple of weeks now and just discovered that as commander I could do things with UAVs. So I went on the map 'Fools Road' and played as the Militia faction against the British.

I set up a forward outpost, got four heavy supply crates via truck, put them close enough to the forward outpost, constructed the outpost, applied to be commander and then I clicked on squad tab and right clicked the map so I can get special actions like where to position squads on the map. I noticed there was a UAV icon so I clicked on it then clicked on my position on the map, so logically, the UAV would be right overhead.

I then zoomed in with the scroll button and it now says "-Satellite Feed Lost-"
What do I do to make it work? I pressed every key on the keyboard, I even did this at Militia HQ and had the same problem. Do I press a combination of buttons? What do I need to do to get visual feed from the UAV?

Cheers.

You have to enter the commander outpost in your main. There is a special outpost for commanders in every main. You can control UAV only from there.

Is it the tent with all the tech **** with a apc blocking the other side of the tent?
If so, I've already tried and failed :-(

NVM. I went there and pressed E inside the tent and I could get access.

This is why you allways should read the manual ;)

Page 45 of the manual. ;)

Can the manual not be hosted on the site? I'd like to link these people the answers they seek.

Some of the greatest commanders in history had humble beginnings :wink:

Good to see more people using the position, well done.

Yes. It's a bit unintuitive, so no shame in asking.

Good you've got it figured out now, I'll lock this thread as the question has been answered, I hope you enjoy commanding, PR needs more commanders ;)
