Transmitting on vPilot

[Michael Garrett 1110871 0]

Hey got everything running.

 

How can i set it though so that it doesn't have to be the "active" window in order to transmit on frequency?

If i am using FSX as the "active window" on my primary display, then i can't transmit. So i click vpilot and then i lose the sound from FSX.

 

Also, when i do transmit.. my mic stays stuck "on" and i have to switch freq and then back in order to stop transmitting. :S

 

 

 

 

THanks !

If you're running FSX as an administrator, did you do the same for vPilot (as per the docomeentation)?

Yes i sure am ! its just really strange that the PTT key sticks. I hope it's not an isolated issue !

Did you install as an administrator?

 

Regarding the PTT issue, this is the first I've heard of that in the thousands of uses of vPilot. Perhaps try a reinstall?

tried reinstalling and confirming that it was installed as admin, went thru setup again and its working. So that may have been the issue. Thanks

Glad the PTT and transmit issues are resolved. As you've probably seen from other posts as well as the other thread where I just responded, since vPilot is an external application to FSX, the FSX sound will go away when you click on vPilot (for sending text messages, PMs, changing configuration, etc.), just the same as it would if you clicked on any other application (e.g. internet browser, email program, etc.).

There is no need to run the installer as an admin ... there must have been something else going on and it just appeared to have fixed it by running the install as admin.
