Dino Norrman Posted May 22, 2020 at 01:47 PM Posted May 22, 2020 at 01:47 PM I think it happens when you alt-tab between xPilot and/or other windows. Then the controller has to write "hey your mic is stuck". It happened three times now. The program should probably check whether the push-to-talk button is down or not, regardless fo which window is in focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDPR-removed Posted June 3, 2020 at 07:45 AM Posted June 3, 2020 at 07:45 AM How many monitors do you have? If you think alt+tab is the problem you could have xpilot on another screen like me. I also think that it gets stuck because it's not recognizing that you released the button. Release it before you alt+tab and you should be good. Also try to (when your mic is stuck) click your ptt-button once so it "updates". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Rolfe Posted October 15, 2020 at 02:59 AM Posted October 15, 2020 at 02:59 AM Simmers, I am having a stuck mic problem also. Using X-pilot and X-plane, 11. PTT is assigned to a button on the Alpha yoke. Sometimes it works normally. Sometimes the TX box in x-pilot show green (transmitting) when I'm not holding the button down, and pressing and releasing PTT has no effect. And I get the boot from ATC 🙂 Sometimes I get complaints from ATC about a stuck mic when neither TX box is showing green. Is there a dataref or other diagnostic I can display to help isolate the problem. It seems unlikely that this relatively new yoke is the source of the problem....  Cheers, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christoph Reule Posted October 15, 2020 at 05:35 AM Posted October 15, 2020 at 05:35 AM In order to avoid such an unwanted "hot mic" situation I looked at ways to create a visual "notification" (e. g. a small green rectangle) while transmitting on COM via LUA, but gave up since I couldn't find a reasonable dataref to fetch.

Robert Shearman Jr Posted October 16, 2020 at 07:15 AM Posted October 16, 2020 at 07:15 AM I got a couple "stuck mic" notices during a recent group flight, too, from other pilots on 122.8. Fortunately we were also all in a Discord server so they had another easy way to reach me.
