Cannot Set Joytick PTT Button

[Dave-Pilot2ATC 864]

Thanks Todd.

That brings to mind an experiment you can try Bob, in addition to Todd's recommendation to check the Enable option before trying to set the button.

Select each of the other devices in the drop-down list and press a button or two on the Yoke.  If the button number pops up, then we'll know there's a device indexing problem.

I've tried Todd's recommendations earlier myself and it didn't work.  Nor did using a Game Pad.  I think it may be something with the installation.  What would uninstalling and reinstalling do to the trial?

[Dave-Pilot2ATC 864]

That's a good idea at this point.  It may mess up the trial, but I can reset it if it does.

Be sure and run the installer as Admin, just in case it might make a difference.

If  the trial is disabled, contact me via email for a reset.  admin@pilot2atc.com

Reinstalling now.

[Bob_Z 30]

Reintalled.  Trial  working.  No joy.

Same issue for me. When I press set (Enabled or Disabled) my joysticks are listed but the Button Number is "-1"  and nothing I do can change it. I run it as administrator as well.....

This is a show stopper for me.  Otherwise I really like the P2ATC

I'm currently on the 10-day trial and cannot set my PTT as well. I am using the Saitek PRO Yoke / Throttle combo. Pilot2ATC is not recognizing any button presses from any of my controllers.

I've finally been able to replicate this issue and will be working on a fix.

Thanks for the reports.

I've uploaded version 2.5.0.3R2 that fixes this issue.

Hi Dave -- well, I'm having the same issue with v2.6.1.3.  The assignment works, but PTT does not on the controller (CH Pro Yoke).  I can use the PTT button in the app.  Any suggestions?

[Dave-Pilot2ATC 864]

Make sure when you do the assignment that there is only one Joystick selection choice for the Yoke.  IF there are more, then Windows is giving P2A multiple drivers for that device and that issue would need to be fixed.

Also, make sure when setting the button that you do not try and enter a button number.  After selecting the controller you want, press the button on that controller and let P2A pick the number.

Make sure the SIM or P2A has the focus when you press the PTT button.

Or, there is an option at the bottom of the Btns tab of Config that can Require P2A or SIM focus.

You can uncheck that option and see if it starts working.  This will make all your Button and Keyboard assignments hot in any program that you use, so you must be careful or you may get unexpected results.

I've tried a number of combinations, but still no go.  To simplify things, p2a was the ^only^ app running during config.  Here's the very last thing I tried:

1. Close all apps, including xp11
2. Close p2a
3. Start p2a
4. Click 'Config'
5. Select the Speech tab
6. Tick 'Enable' in the PTT Joystick section
7. Click 'Set'
8. Select 'CH Flight Sim Yoke USB' in the drop-down box
9. Pressed the desired button on the yoke (lower-left red button)
10. '9' automatically populates the Button Number box
11. Click Save
12. The PTT Joystick section looks as I would expect (Enabled, PTT Joystick = 'CH Flight Sim Yoke', Button number = '9'
13. Click 'Config' to close
14. Click 'Config' & 'Speech' again to verify
15. Close config
16. Exit p2a
17. Start p2a
18. Click 'Config' & 'Speech'
19. The PTT Joystick section no longer is correct (no PTT Joystick selection, Button Number = 'Disabled'); however, 'Enable' was still ticked
    1. Note: If I exit p2a again & go back to the Speech tab, 'Enable' is no longer ticked

I am running p2a with Admin rights, FYI.  Any thoughts?

There is an error in this version.  The new feature to toggle the Co-Pilot is mis-labeled on the Speech tab and looks like it's there to set the PTT button.  Clear these settings.

Go to the Btns tab to set the PTT Button and/or HotKey if you want it.  

Sorry about the confustion.

No worries - I'll give that a try.  BTW, before commenting I tried the other devices too (mouse button, keyboard hotkey), but they didn't work either.  I did notice, however, that the Copilot box would become unticked when I set the PTT device & button -- I noticed it after the CP no longer answered the ATC,,,

Thank you!
