Muhammed Sheriff 1286604 Posted May 30, 2014 at 09:24 AM Posted May 30, 2014 at 09:24 AM I have been using vPilot for a while now and it is one awesome software. But yesterday , while flying at a busy night yesterday at Gatwick (EGKK) , I discovered this problem I have. While I was transmitting on the frequency , I found that when I took my hand of the hotkey , it delayed the transmission for a couple more seconds. As a result my transmission started stepping on others because of the delay and the ATC contacted me and told me to stop doing that. Unfortunately I had to switch to text to keep flying... Would like to know how I can solve this problem Muhammed Sheriff ZNY S1 Controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted May 30, 2014 at 01:09 PM Posted May 30, 2014 at 01:09 PM Never heard of that problem before, not with any user of VRC, vSTARS, vDSR, or vPilot, and they all use the same method for scanning the PTT key. Have you tried using a joystick/yoke button for PTT?

Muhammed Sheriff 1286604 Posted May 31, 2014 at 05:42 AM Author Posted May 31, 2014 at 05:42 AM Yes , I use a joystick PTT button but I have also tried using a keyboard hotkey with no better results. I want to explain what happens in detail. On vPilot , when I press and hold the hotkey the transmission starts normal with the TX sign turning blue , but once I take my hand off , the TX stays blue and transmits for a complete 5 seconds before it stops , leaving a plain "zzzzz" noise at the end of the transmission. I use VRC as well and they both are very similar but I do not have the extended delay. I can paste a short clip of the problem if you wish.

What do you mean when you say they both are very similar? I can paste a short clip of the problem if you wish. Sure, can't hurt. Thanks.
