Not transmitting on any frequencies

Hi guys,

so this is my first day on Vatsim, and after I succeeded in correctly taking off I switched frequencies and as soon as I started sending my typed message I got the error "Not transmitting on any frequencies!"

 

I've read about this problem before, but that had to do with a mic. that didn't work, this is just about sending a text message..

 

I hope some of you guy can help me with this.. it's kinda urgent.. flying from EHAM to EGCC, now above the north sea..

 

greetings,

13D00

What's your PTT key/button [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ignment? Did you perhaps choose a key/button that you inadvertently press when typing?

if it was with text, what addon aircraft are you using? if you use the PMDG 737 or 777, users often have issues setting up the radios correctly

Usually that means your avionics don't have power.

I haven't set a PTT key as I was just typing in the chatbox.

Can you post a screenshot of the main vPilot window, showing the error?
