Lapel microphone for FS2Crew?

[Darren1 2]

I was just wondering if this would work?

 

Sometimes it's nice to do away with the headset so I was thinking would it be possible to have the aircraft sounds and the FO comms coming out of the speakers but with a lapel mic clipped on (so only a couple of inches away from my mouth) to communicate with FS2Crew.

 

I know with a standing desktop mic it would be a no go due to speaker interference but with a lapel mic?

 

Has any body tried this or have any opinions if it would be feasible?

 

Thanks, Darren.

I never have the headphones on, my mic is on the desk next to my joystick (Warthog) and I never have any problems.

I've heard a few people say desktop mics pick up too much aircraft noise from the speakers and FS2Crew can't pick up your speech clearly thus leading to FO confusion.

I may give this a try though as I could do with a decent desktop mic for Skype anyway.

 

May I ask what microphone you have Mike?

A real cheap one from Plantronics, headphone and mic combined. I have a 32" Samsung with great surround sound and I get no interference at all, you can watch my vids on the NGX and check it out.
