Tony Shade 1269300 Posted November 1, 2014 at 06:13 PM Posted November 1, 2014 at 06:13 PM Is there a way in Vpilot to have sound when push to talk is pressed? or is there a way to add custom sounds? I have reviewed the docs and I do not see anything listed. OORAH!!!! IT'S A MARINE THING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted November 1, 2014 at 06:30 PM Posted November 1, 2014 at 06:30 PM No, there is no way to have a sound play when you press PTT. Out of curiosity, why would you want that?

Tony Shade 1269300 Posted November 1, 2014 at 06:33 PM Author Posted November 1, 2014 at 06:33 PM As a former user of fsinn it is usefull to me at least that way I know im transmitting on frequency. I use projectors not monitors and vpilot is on a smaller monitor in my simpit. OORAH!!!! IT'S A MARINE THING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking for a way to know that you're pressing PTT *and* vPilot is connected to an active controller's voice channel, then that functionality already exists, in the inverse sense. vPilot sounds a buzzer if you press the PTT when you're not on an active voice channel.

Scott Norton 1241275 Posted November 2, 2014 at 12:49 AM Posted November 2, 2014 at 12:49 AM I think what he wants is an aural indicator that his PTT key press is being received by the software. Very useful for troubleshooting comms issues. You don't need Red Bull to get your wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted November 2, 2014 at 01:46 AM Posted November 2, 2014 at 01:46 AM the other would probably be to do a feedback loop so you hear yourself transmitting. this can already be accomplished without editing the software though (tune com1 and 2 to the same freq, activate both frequencies. youll get the feedback) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted November 2, 2014 at 01:50 AM Posted November 2, 2014 at 01:50 AM I think what he wants is an aural indicator that his PTT key press is being received by the software. Very useful for troubleshooting comms issues. That can be done by observing either the debug window messages, or the TX box lighting up.

Very useful for troubleshooting comms issues. That can be done by observing either the debug window messages, or the TX box lighting up. That's more of a visual indicator. An aural indicator is, as Tony specifies, an audible feedback indicator. I'm pretty sure FSInn and Squawkbox both have this feature available. It's actually beneficial to have two aural indicators - one when transmission starts, and one when transmission terminates. The latter could be used for quick identification of a "stuck mic" situation on the pilot's end in which case the "transmission terminated" chirp would not be observed.

Maybe I did not make my self clear before. As Scott states, I was looking for an audio noise when the ptt key is pressed as fsinn uses on an active voice channel. The light does me no good as to vpilot is on a small screen in a simpit with surround projectors as I do not use text not the latter ross as you state. OORAH!!!! IT'S A MARINE THING.

Ross Carlson Posted November 3, 2014 at 06:48 PM Posted November 3, 2014 at 06:48 PM No, I understand ... as you said you want to know when you're transmitting. I'm saying that if you press PTT, and you DON'T hear the buzzer, you know you're transmitting.

Bradley Grafelman Posted November 3, 2014 at 06:56 PM Posted November 3, 2014 at 06:56 PM (edited) I'm waiting for Ivan Pavlov to chime in at any time now...

Ross Carlson Posted November 3, 2014 at 07:07 PM Posted November 3, 2014 at 07:07 PM I'm waiting for Ivan Pavlov to chime in an any time now... Haha ... just wait for the next version ... it'll administer an electric shock instead of the buzzer.

I'm saying that if you press PTT, and you DON'T hear the buzzer, you know you're transmitting. But if the PTT press is not received by the software, then no buzzer will sound.

Jurgen Weerelds Posted February 10, 2015 at 01:58 AM Posted February 10, 2015 at 01:58 AM i also want that ptt sound hearing in my headset, its very useful in vpilot i transfered from fsinn and they had that feature now im not knowing if i push the button that im actual communicate with the controller for the rest very nice software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Niblo Posted November 9, 2018 at 07:58 AM Posted November 9, 2018 at 07:58 AM Old topic I know, but I'd find this option really useful too. This week on Worldflight I had three people in my cockpit and on several occasion we accidentally talked over the pilot monitoring while he was replying to ATC. A beep would tell everyone that he'd started transmitting and wasn't just joining in the conversation. FSInn had that feature and I kind of miss it Cheers!
