What key are you using to define as PTT? If you have a joystick or yoke, use a button on that one preferentially. In case you are not getting any further, consider joining our Discord server, there are other Mac users who might be able to help if you get stuck. https://discord.gg/vc3uHEk

We just had another Mac user who had the same issue. He had assigned a key-combination to his PTT and that did not work, it was something like CTRL - ~ . When he changed it to CTRL only, it worked. In the end and also for your better enjoyment of the simulator, purchasing at least a cheap joystick will solve this problem. In the real world PTTs are usually installed and used primarily on flight controls - some planes also have PTT-buttons somewhere on the instrument panel or center console.
