David Potter 894075 Posted June 26, 2015 at 08:49 PM Posted June 26, 2015 at 08:49 PM Ross, Just a quicky, firstly thanks for this super piece of software. It is far superior to anything we've had before and a pleasure to use. My question, I personally enjoy having more than one PTT. For example, I'll use my yoke/joystick button when hand flying & a keyboard PTT in the cruise. Would this be easy to implement in a future release? Not sure how many others would find this beneficial but personally for me, it'd be great to have. Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon.

Bradley Grafelman Posted June 26, 2015 at 08:54 PM Posted June 26, 2015 at 08:54 PM Using FSUIPC (or perhaps software that came with your yoke/joystick), it should be possible to map a yoke/joystick button to a keypress such that vPilot only needs a single PTT input.

David Potter 894075 Posted June 28, 2015 at 02:13 PM Author Posted June 28, 2015 at 02:13 PM Bradley, Having a PTT on my joystick/yoke isn't a problem (vPilot picks this up fine). My request is that we have the ability to add more than one PTT input. Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted June 28, 2015 at 02:38 PM Posted June 28, 2015 at 02:38 PM Brad is suggesting using FSUIPC to map the joystick button to a keyboard key. Then configure vPilot to recognize that keyboard key as PTT.

David Potter 894075 Posted June 29, 2015 at 07:06 PM Author Posted June 29, 2015 at 07:06 PM Yea I worked that out after I reread his message. The issue with [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igning a key press through FSUIPC is that it doesn't recognise the ctrl key as a singular press, it expects it to be followed by another key selection. Ideally I'd have right ctrl as my keyboard PTT and my yoke/joystick button. It's not too important but thought it worth to ask the question. Thanks for replying Ross, appreciate your input.

Ross Carlson Posted June 29, 2015 at 07:08 PM Posted June 29, 2015 at 07:08 PM Back when I used Squawkbox, I used the Delete key or the Pause key as PTT, and mapped a joystick button to that key with FSUIPC. Maybe you could use one of those keys? Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
