Solved IVC PTT keys - any way to reassign?
-
I was using Joy2Key to assign “F1” as a UHF PTT on my HOTAS throttle pinky button but for some reason beyond my comprehension it no longer works. It works in J2K, the Joystick # (Device #4) is correct in DeviceSorting.txt and AL. Open IVC, hit “F1” and the UHF box is ticked, hit “F2” and VHF is ticked, “F3” and Guard is ticked. … so it functions fine. Is there an in-3D button I can use I’m missing?
Thank you for any input! -

@icer Why binding Home/End to the Warthog and not directly binding the Warthog DX to the corresponding callbacks
Oak - Sorry if my explanation was unclear, I have simply bound the (DX15) button to the function in AL…

@icer F1,F3,F3 is only to operate IVC from 2d Screen. While in pit IVC PTT is triggered by Comms switch respective callbacks

Oak - we were likely using it inappropriately, pretty much as a built in TS3 so we started the Clients and ran them externally and had voice comms in 2D and 3D. If i’m looking at the right spot, it appears that “TQS: CommSwitch Up - VHF” (Home Key) can be assigned to my PTT button for use in 3D. (UHF is the "End) key. Is my thought process skewed?
-
@icer Yes using the TQS CommSwitch Up - VHF and Down- UHF would be the appropriate usage with the addion that in order to be able to communicate you have to be at the same preset/frequency.

Hi Icer, think of it this way.
Those call backs, ARE the ‘PTT’ actions, for the UHF and VHF radios respectively in the 3D world. (BMS integrates them into IVC). You have just got to decide what you want them mapped to, Buttons on you HOTAS, button box, or simply keyboard keys (F1 or F2 for example), or key combinations. If you have hotas space, i suggest that where they should be mapped to allow seamless communication while flying. -

I get it now, in 2D use F1/F2/F3 and in Flight it’s Home/End… which eliminates my need for Joy2Key so that’s a good thing!
