Todor Atanasov 878664 0 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hi everyone, I didn't sure if this is for this section or the Computer Hardware section, if so, forgive me, the Moderators can move it Now for my question , does any one uses something like this, in the picture below, and if yes, did you buy it from somewhere or did you make it your self.

Josh Guyer 1031616 0 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I don't see why you'd use a hand held mic, because at least from my experience, I might need both hands to type or use the mouse. www.zhuartcc.net Link to post Share on other sites
Trent Hopkinson 0 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Headset with a USB jack instead of an audio 3.5mm or whatever size jack. Can then fly on flight simulator and listen to ATC in headset and aircraft noises on speakers. As ATC, can hear pilot radio comms through headset and VRC sounds (beeps and such) through speakers. Don't need to hold the mike as it sits on your head. so you can do useful things like type, use a mouse, and talk through the mike at the same time. Otherwise you might find the need to grow a third hand. Trent Hopkinson YMML. www.youtube.com/musicalaviator WorldFlight 2002,2008,2009, 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2015 Link to post Share on other sites
Colm Fitzgerald 1037650 0 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I can see a handheld mic with a PTT on the mic itself being useful for pilots during cruise (to remove headset) but for controlling any busy sort of station I would only use a headset Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne Conrad 989233 0 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 A USB headset (or a non-USB headset with a second sound card) is the only choice for me. The reason for either USB or a second sound card is so that ATC can be routed to my ears and airplane sounds to my speakers. That makes much easier to hear ATC than if both come through the speakers. Also, a hand-held mic. will add some delay to your readbacks. ZLA Pilot Certs make your eyes bright, your teeth white, and childbirth a pleasure. Get yours today! Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Ogrodowski 876322 0 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 To answer the question: No, I haven't. Are you planning on using a mic stand or something else to hold it...or are you literally planning on holding it? Steve Ogrodowski Link to post Share on other sites
Todor Atanasov 878664 0 Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Guys, I know the advantages and disadvantages of using Hand Mic. Yes I'm also using headset. The things is that in real life this mic is used in Bulgarian ATM and I wanted to try it in VATSIM. Using EuroScope, where almost everything is done via the mouse and less and less pilots use text, I don't have problem with "shortage" of hands. Even now I'm holding the mouse and pressing the PTT, so your hand is always used to transmit, so it doesn't have any big difference if it on the keyboard or holding the mic and you can always switch to headset at any time. My question was if any one had one or have made one EuroScope BETA Tester/Board of Designers Link to post Share on other sites
