I tried doing my first VATSIM flight and ran into some trouble with VPilot. When I tried requesting clearance I was actually not transmitting (I tried outside of FSX minimized and opened VPilot and it worked but not when I was directly in FSX). Is there something I might have set up incorrectly?

From the v1 docomeentation (still stands for v2):

 

Note that if you want to use a keyboard key for PTT, and you run FSX as an administrator, you must also run vPilot as an administrator for the key press to be recognized.

I have the same issue and there is no difference if PTT is [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned either to a keyboard key or a joystick button. Can someone explains the practical usage of vPilot?

But are you running both Flight Simulator and vPilot as Admin?

I'm not sure I understand your query.

The docomeentation says that there is no difference, if you are running the SIM and vPilot as administrator or not, if a joystick [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ignment button for PTT is made.

 

Joystick PTT works fine with or without running as an administrator.

Correct, but if you run your simulator as an administrator, you MUST run vPilot as an administrator.
