Need help assigning VAC voice activation key to Cougar TQS

Livrot,
Thank you for the reply and the offer. I had everything working great until the “upgrade” to TUSBA on my Cougar Throttle, which has tied me up with DX brain lock for the last two weekends. I have briefly reviewed your LMC and may take you up on your offer, if I spend one more full weekend trying to binding key commands instead of flying! LOLThanks again

crossjoe,
save your weekend, install LMC, get one of the BMS profiles on the website, read the quick start guide, load the profile, go to the Hotkey page of the Settings Window / Hotkey page, click on the mic button and press the button for the mic on your throttle. You can even program your Throttle and Stick with LMC after reading the Hotkey Options section of the manual. (button combinations are possible for LL Hotkeys, …).
I can uplift your LMC account to ‘owner’ if you pm your username to me. Just promise to give feedback to uplift LMC in return.Thanks!

Looks like LMC fails to pick up any buttons on the stock Cougar on my system. Keys work fine, but the only DX buttons it registers are the ones on my logitech g25 shifter, other devices aren’t picked up apparently (2xTM mfds, hotas cougar, t500 racing wheel).
Cheers, Uwe

There’s always AutoHotkey. I use the simple script below to intercept DX20 & 21 keypresses (VHF & UHF on the radio switch) and activate HOME & END keys as PTT keys in OBS Studio. This way it only records from my microphone while I’m transmitting on VHF or UHF.
1joy20:: Send {END down} KeyWait 1Joy20 Send {END up} return 1joy21:: Send {HOME down} KeyWait 1Joy21 Send {HOME up} return
Assuming you can find out which DX buttons your TUSBA TQS is using you should be able to do something similar.

Thank you Darkman. I am unfamiliar with AutoHotKey but will give it a look. I have figured out the DX numbers so I hope it should be a simple swap of numbers. Thanks Again!

Hi again,
I bet you use target.
Uninstall Target.
You can program Throttle and stick, mfds and the rwheel with LMC, too.
Or edit your keyfile.Target steals DX buttons of thrustmaster devices away, other programs like LMC no longer receive them with target installed.
My TM mfds work well for hotkeys in LMC, cougar and throttle too …
Time to put this message in the quick start guide of LMC, I guess.
Regards,

Hi again,

TorvilI’m afraid you lost that bet.
As I said earlier my stock cougar runs in DX mode, using the standard BMS “full” keyfile.
All the best,
Uwe

Sorry for Hi-Jacking this thread a bit.
Check PM, hoover.I’m a dot.

No concerns on my part. Although it may not be directly related, anytime someone takes the time to help a fellow pilot, as this forum does graciously, it is welcomed. Still debating the LMC versus AutoHotkey route. Will let you know either this week or next.

You know what, crossjoe?
I just did mark you as a nice fellow.
I am at the second bottle of wine after a looong day translating the manual (async mode at the moment page 120 or so) to german (my native language).
So I hope you understand how much I need this little comfort. Thanks!Cheers,
Torvil
