IT WORKS! Yaaaaaaay!

Nice one, mate! I can now bind my UHF to ground etc and my VHF to my wingmen. Thank you! :D

Hm.

I'm 95% sure it's a FoxVox issue, because I've successfully used the same keys with other programs, like SRS. I have them as push-to-mute in Discord as well, which also picks them up fine.

My block list is empty.

It seems to me that FoxVox likes some of the keys and doesn't like others, because I've found other ones that also don't work: 5, 10, 11, 15, 23.

It's so weird! For instance, IFF in, IFF out and VHF all work, but UHF does not and pushing in that switch does not. Speed brake close and neutral work, but deploy does not (and all of those definitely work, both in DCS and FalconBMS!)

Wait, hang on. I'm trying to get that set up now, and running into another issue: UHF isn't working, while VHF is. Weird! For instance, I've set my ELEMENT PTT to VHF, which is "Winwing WINWING Orion Throttle Base II + TGRIP-F16 Btn 24". When I push it, I can see the little white controller icon on the ELEMENT group turn green. I did exactly the same thing to set GROUND to UHF, which is Btn 26. When I push it, the white controller icon on GROUND stays white, and when I say "Ground, pin" the log indeed reports that it recognised the command and inhibited it due to PTT.

Weird. It did work when I changed GROUND to my C keyboard key, just to test, but not that other HOTAS key. I know the button itself works - after all, FoxVox itself picked it up when setting the PTT key!

Oh! I'd forgotten that you can have a different PTT for a different group. That's not too bad.

It does force me to remember to use the one for one and the other for other things, rather than how they kind of seem to be interchangeable, but that's not so bad.

OHHHHH!

Yeah, it would be "both buttons at the same time" that's the problem! That would explain it!

I'll just test now...
...yup! There we go! Works just fine with only one of them pressed.

Well, there we go then. It would be a nice feature to have, to be able to have more than one PTT bind. Then I could pretend I'm a real fighter pilot man, talking to my element on one radio and AWACS/Tower/Ground on the other :D

Though possibly I could get away with no PTT at all too, I'm not sure.

Hi there Foxster.

This is a pretty great piece of kit, except that "push to talk" doesn't seem to work properly. I push it, but yet I can see in the log it saying that it's recognised what I'm saying but inhibited the command due to push-to-talk.

I'm trying to do it with a Winwing F-16 throttle, binding PTT to the VHF and UHF buttons.

Two sessions ago I went in and fiddled with it, it somehow decided to work. But just now, with the same settings, it's stopped working again. Halp?

I went and disabled PTT altogether than it went and worked okay, but I'd still prefer PTT just in case.
