October 22, 201015 yr Hi,Just completed my first flight with 767 Voice Commander after some excellent support to get hold of the download files by Bryan.Although the first flight was done without my beloved VOXATC, I will be adding this addtional workload once I'm more familiar with both the aircraft and FS2Crew.However, running the FS2Crew config application, it didn't seem to recognise my CH yoke PTT button (i.e. the button under my left index finger). I tried several different buttons on all connected controllers and none seemed to be recognised by the config manager.Is there any other way I can get the system to recognise the joystick button?CheersRob
October 22, 201015 yr Commercial Member Hi Rob,For the more exotic joysticks, your best bet is to use the registered version of FSUIPC, assign soft mute to a key command, and and then connect the joystick button to that key command via FSUIPC.There's is another program out there that can do the same thing. I think it may be listed in the manual.Best, B. York FS2Crew Web Site / FS2Crew Facebook Page / FS2Crew Discord
October 23, 201015 yr Author Hi Bryan,Ahh, the power of lateral thinking! It took a couple of attempts to get this set up - I didn't realise that the available keys to use were limited to those in the drop-down list in the FS2 Config Manager.I eventually selected TAB as my mute button, but when I attempted to select this as a key command in FSUIPC, it refused to acknowledge that I had pressed a key! Using my newly-reminded lateral thinking skills, I instead held down the TAB key and pressed ` (the key in the top-left corner, to the left of 1) which FSUIPC recognised. Checking this in-sim, and it works like a charm, provided you remove the tick from 'Key Press Not To Be Held' in the 'Buttons + Switches' tab of FSUIPC.Just thought this would help other laterally- challenged users!Thanks for your download support and this little issue, Bryan!CheersRobP.S. Couldn't find reference to the other program in the manual, but I think you may be referring to JoyToKey, which I think would also do the job if you don't have registered FSUIPC.
October 23, 201015 yr Commercial Member Hi Rob,Glad you got it sorted.Yes, Joy2Key is the other one that does the same job :-)Cheers, B. York FS2Crew Web Site / FS2Crew Facebook Page / FS2Crew Discord
October 25, 201015 yr Author OK, I've tried 4 different flights now and every time the soft mute key (i.e. TAB) is not muting the speech recognition engine. I can see the small red M in the control panel but whether I press the key directly or use my CH/FSUIPC assigned button, the speech engine continues to process my speech.Any ideas?CheersRob

HOWEVER... the First Officer should not "act on" or "carry out" those received commands.There are technical reasons why the speech recognition engine itself cannot be muted directly.Does that help.Cheers, B.

October 25, 201015 yr Author I hadn't appreciated that FO wasn't acting on commands, as usually I don't state something that would cause him to take action.Once again, thanks for clarifying, and for your patience! I really am growing to love this product in concert with VoxATC - great work Mr. York!CheersRob
