PTT assignment on CH Flight Yoke

[Patrick Ladd 933866]

Greetings,

I'm new to VATSIM (which after playing I can see why it's so addicting) and need help with [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igning a button on my CH yoke to act as the PTT. I've tried several ways but it doesn't like the way I'm doing it apparently.

 

It's just a nusiance to reach to my keyboard and since I have all those fancy buttons might as well put them ALL to use.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance!!

Welcome to VATSIM Patrick Ladd !

 

I have a freeware for this purpose at http://hem.p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]agen.se/lvedin/dk/freeware/fs with some other options as well. You need to change SB3 default ScrollLock into Left-Ctrl (or optionally Right-Ctrl) to use PTT.

 

CH products maybe also have some freeware. http://www.chproducts.com

 

However FSUIPC full paywear http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html may be easier to use and has a lot of other options.

Thank you very much for the quick reply.

 

I got the thrust reverser to work with no problem but still can't get the PTT to work correctly. I set SB to work off Lctrl the button will not work as PTT. Anyway, I'll play with it again when I get home from work and re-enter and double check my work.

 

Again, thanks for the help and another useful utility.

KeyMacro PTT.

 

Yes, by default you should first change SB3 PTT to work with Left-Ctrl.

Take notice you must set two macros active in KeyMacro ("AVC Talk on" a down-event, and "AVC Talk off" an upp-event).

 

You kan also laborate with KeyMacro by change e.g. to letter A, and to B. If have focus in Notepad, it should write A when you push your PTT-button and B when you release your PTT-button.

 

means simulate Left-Ctrl key down, and means simulate Left-Ctrl key up.
