Transmit in multiplayer

[lancairmiller]

Pete,

Great program, I've created a few programs now with VB6 with much success.

I've been given a project that will require my app to use a key press to key the mic in FSX.

When my app has focus(window active) the key strokes are not sent to FSX. If the user has

assigned a button on a joystick or yoke is works OK.

Is there anyway to send the transmit command to FSX via fsuipc?

Thanks,

Mark

Erwhat is this "transmit" facility in FSX? Tell me how you do it normally. I'm afraid I'm not at all familiar with Multiplayer.

There are COM1 and COM2 Transmit Select controls in FSX -- they will be found in the FSUIPC drop-downs for assignment. There are also a number of multiplayer controls, named "MP ..." -- for example "MP Activate Chat". These are also available for assignment. Could it be one of these you need?

Thanks for the quick response. In the FSX Setting- controls it is listed as Transmit voice start and transmit voice stop.

The chat window make active is also listed under the multiplayer catergory.

If it is assignable in FSX you could assign your buttons to it in FSX!

If is it so assignable, it will be one of those FS controls I mentioned. If you enable Event logging in FSUIPC's Logging tab, then operate those actions, you should find the correct FS control name logged in FSUIPC's Log. then you can assign them directly in FSUIPC.

But I would have thought the names would be obviouslike, perhaps, MP voice capture start and MP voice capture stop or maybe the other pair listed, MP broadcast voice capture start and MP broadcast voice capture stop? Why not just try them?

I'm writing a VB6 program and connecting to FSX via fsuipc. Is there an offset assigned to "MP voice capture start" and

"MP broadcast voice capture stop" I did not see one in the offset list I have. I may have overlooked it.

Thanks again

No. In general there aren't offsets for many controls -- even where there are, in most cases they simply cause FSUIPC to send the control for you. However, you can send any control you like, using its numerical equivalent (see the controls list in your FSX Modules folder), via offset 3110.
