Ivap (ivao) and PTT button on yoke

[rene_1st]

Greetings,

 

I have had the registered version of FSUIPC for a long time and am a happy with it, no doubt...this is my first post, so really, have had no issues what so ever.

I fly on VATSIM and now recently also joined IVAO.

 

I have searched forums and google but I am unable to find a solution for the following.

 

IVAO uses ivap (similar to FSINN for Vatsim) and TeamSpeak 2 for voice. In Teamspeak, I am able to select the Push To Talk button, which in my case is right-ctrl (I tried to push the button on the yoke, but it would not take it, or rather said, it did not react. seems it only accepts keyboard commands)

 

I went to FSUIPC via FSX menu and the button and key assignments and when wanting to select right-ctrl as the action button to map it to the joystick button, nothing happens.

What I mean is, I press right-ctrl in the key assignments but FSUIPC wont take it. If I press an alphabetical or numerical, its fine. But that is not a solution, it has to be right-ctrl or left-ctrl or shift or something of the like because otherwise if continuosly held down lets say a letter, windows will start dinging...now what I mean :)

 

I did find a work-around someone had but he is running the setup via WideFS. Which I also have, but I am not running the ivap and teamspeak from a networked computer, but directly on the same computer on which I have FSX installed.

 

Can someone please enlighten me to resolve this small, but rather irritating matter?

 

My best regards,

Rene

Hi,

 

just use Scroll Lock key instead as shown below. Scroll Lock is in FS as well used to open the ATC window, that has to be removed from definition in FS.

Hi Thomas,

 

thank you, I will most certainly give that a go.

 

Best regards,

Rene
