James Lapierre 1185634 Posted March 3, 2011 at 02:34 AM Posted March 3, 2011 at 02:34 AM Hello, I have connected, heard ATC, and saw other aircraft using XSquawkbox! This is a great start, but I am still on the sidelines because I cannot talk to ATC yet. I do not know what setup I need to make in X-Plane or Xsquawkbox able to talk with ATC using the mic buttons on my yoke. (Or, to talk to ATC period.) Also, using the mic buttons get's me the standard X-Plane ATC menu. How do I configure my mic buttons to allow me to contact ATC without displaying the ATC menu? I have not found the options to do that. Thanks.

James Lapierre 1185634 Posted March 3, 2011 at 01:35 PM Author Posted March 3, 2011 at 01:35 PM Okay...I have found an answer to my mic question. This forum explains the push-to-talk (PTT) setup: http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?t=47640. Followed the advice, and voila, I talked to ATC. Getting rid of the standard ATC menu was as simple as Settings > Joystick, Keys & Equipment > Buttons: Basic (tab) and selecting the Do nothing at all! option for the button I want free for PTT. Hopefully, this helps someone!

Keith Smith Posted March 4, 2011 at 09:03 PM Posted March 4, 2011 at 09:03 PM James, I think docomeentation that ships would also include that information. There's other valuable information in there, such as how to check weather, how to quickly set the radio , and how to send private messages. It might save you some grief to read it end to end (it's a very quick read) to see what the software can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
