Since latest updates my xPilot has been rough to use. Frequent disconnects, when I set a PTT button and use it xPilot blinks until I release the key. Never had a problem until 11.5 compat update. I am running 11.41.

Then do yourself a favor and read through the pinned topics... in doing so you would see that 1.2.1.0 is available for download again...

Yeah, but that doesn't fix 1.3 and I have read through the pinned topics. Do yourself a favor and don't be so rude. I understand your frustration, no worse than ours.

1.3 from what I understand is a alpha / beta type release. If you don't want to live life on the edge with alpha / beta software then use stable which is 1.2.x

Steve, please remember that any work that I do with xPilot is done on my free time; I don’t get paid for any of it. With this in mind, it’s important to be patient with these issues, especially with alpha/beta software. 
 

The freezing is a particular difficult issue for me to diagnose because I have been unable to reproduce it on my setup.

I think I was being patient and providing positive feedback. After trying all the pinned suggestions including the rollback, my problem still exists. No matter what key I chose in any of the versions now, my xPilot flashes off and on until I release the key. I did not have the problem until recently. Only changes to my system outside W10 updates is reloading the C++ Redistrib and xPilot.

Not trying to be a pain in the ass, just reporting my issues.

Ok, my stupidity and not reading the settings PTT correctly. my screen only showed half and I thought I was setting PTT but I was setting xPilot toggle instead. Sorry for my error, All good in all versions now.

It was removed due to some issues with the AFV library. The option will return at a later date.

Hello David,

First step: Can you verify that you mapped the "xPilot Radio Push-to-Talk (PTT)" command to a button on your joystick? Look in X-Plane for >Settings >Joystick

Here is a web link to the instructions: Bind Joystick Button
