Jeremy Morris 1414407 Posted January 17, 2018 at 12:01 AM Posted January 17, 2018 at 12:01 AM I have been unable to transmit on vpilot while in FSX, I can if I switch windows. I am running both in administrator mode, running vpilot in compatibility mode (fsx crashes if I run it in compatability mode once I connect to vatsim), and using the PTT key on my controller. I used the .debug command and it doesn't seem to register the keypress when I'm in FSX, but does if vpilot is the active window. I'm sure there is something out there about this but I've spent two days reading through old threads about the issue with no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Perry Posted January 17, 2018 at 10:37 PM Posted January 17, 2018 at 10:37 PM Shots in the dark here... hopefully someone with more knowledge than I will respond. 1) Is the controller button bound to anything in FSX? 2) Are you using a registered version of FSUIPC and using that button for anything in there? 3) In Windows, open up Game Controllers under the control panel, and go to properties for your controller. Does the button "light up" in the control panel while pressing it in FSX? Does it do so while vpilot has the focus?

Morten Jelle Posted January 18, 2018 at 07:31 AM Posted January 18, 2018 at 07:31 AM You have to run vPilot as administrator. Morten Jelle VATSIM Network Supervisor, Team Lead - Supervisor Team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shearman Jr Posted January 19, 2018 at 12:34 AM Posted January 19, 2018 at 12:34 AM I am running both in administrator mode, Cheers, -R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Morris 1414407 Posted January 19, 2018 at 01:16 AM Author Posted January 19, 2018 at 01:16 AM I have the same button set up as PTT in FSX, I will try removing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Morris 1414407 Posted January 19, 2018 at 01:29 AM Author Posted January 19, 2018 at 01:29 AM That didn't work, I don't know what FSUIPC is. I did the control panel test and it does not light up while fsx is active, but it doesn't when vpilot is active either, but vpilot picks up the button press.

Steven Giblin 1287462 Posted January 19, 2018 at 09:15 PM Posted January 19, 2018 at 09:15 PM If you are using Windows defender you must allow Vpilot to access a public network through the firewall. Also exclude the Vpilot installation folder from the virus scan. Steve G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Klemm Posted December 27, 2020 at 02:04 PM Posted December 27, 2020 at 02:04 PM Had the same issue. Exempted vPilot in my AV, and it worked. Bob Klemm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
