Andrew Fee 1101863 Posted March 19, 2009 at 05:33 AM Posted March 19, 2009 at 05:33 AM I've searched, but haven't found an answer yet. On your headset, can you buy a USB headset that has a push to talk button built into it? or do you have to configure a button on the keyboard? How do you transmit? Sorry for the lame question.

Michael Hess 1046854 Posted March 19, 2009 at 06:17 AM Posted March 19, 2009 at 06:17 AM It depends on whether FSINN or SquawkBox will recognize the button built into the headset. If you're LOOKING for a headset that is known to have a compatible PTT key, then I can't help you there. I've never heard, seen of, or used a headset with a KEY, let alone a headset that will work with VATSIM clients. If you find one, by all means, please share your discovery with us! I'm sure there are simmers just waiting to get their hands on it! -Cheers! Michael Hess ZMP Webmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Morris 920567 Posted March 19, 2009 at 12:51 PM Posted March 19, 2009 at 12:51 PM There is a way to build in a separate USB button to use as a PTT while controlling, not sure if you could map it for FS use as well. Check Google on that one. http://www.execjetva.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again... Correct. You can also programme a mouse button if there's enough buttons on your mouse to ensure it doesn't conflict with anything else you need it to do.

Garry Morris 920567 Posted March 19, 2009 at 08:42 PM Posted March 19, 2009 at 08:42 PM I've mapped the left forefinger button on my Yoke to PTT, but yes, I mash a button on the yoke when I want to talk. http://www.execjetva.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
