Good Morning. Very recently something changed in my Vpilot.

When I try to set my PTT to an item on the keyboard, it appears to go to the following -

"Button 15 on Saitek Pro Flight X-55 Rhino Stick".

I can clear the current PTT [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ignment but when pressing the - Set new PTT Key or Button -, the Button 15..... shows up again as a default. I can't figure out how that happened since everything worked fine until very recently. I always used the Keyboard button ~ to access Vatsim.

Could it have been due to recent updates in Vpilot?

I look forward to some help in solving this issue.

Regards,

Rolf

That probably means there is a button on the saitek that is "pulsing" ... meaning, it is constantly sending on/off signals to the computer, so vPilot thinks you want to use that pulsing button as PTT. You might have to temporarily unplug the saitek while you set the keyboard PTT, then plug the saitek back in. Please try that and let me know if it works.

That appears to do the trick. I will try it with flightsim on later on and advise if there is a problem. IN the meantime, thank you very much.
