Friendship with the application PF3-ATC.

[Yuriy Sirotin]

Hello! There is a program PF3-ATC, where the dialogue with the dispatcher takes place using the "0" key. I want to assign it to the saitek steering wheel button. I can't do anything. Although with the help of the SPAD it was possible to do this. But I have been using FSUIPS for a long time and would like to assign this function through this program. Can I do it? I have FS2020.

Have you tried? Your log shows you pressed a button (twice) on your yoke, but this is assigned to a 'C' keypress:

The 'O' keypress (send) assignment is to your TCA Q-Eng 1&2 device:

[Buttons]
PollInterval=25
ButtonRepeat=20,10
1=PC,1,K67,8     -{Key press: C}-
3=PA,5,K48,8     -{Key press: 0}-

So try re-assigning your yoke button to the correct keypress.
Note that the keypress will be sent to the FS - it will only be picked-up by PF3-ATC if that picks up keys from the sim, or it is registered as a hot-key by the application.

Yes, I decided to try to change the buttons in the PF3-ATS. Changed "0" to "C", but nothing happened. Most likely, PF3-ATS works independently, we just put the flight plan there and it gives us commands based on the plan.
