I am very sorry, I have read the manual and I still don't quite get how it works. Maybe im not the sharpest knife in the draw lol
OKay this is what I have done!
I have set my VCP option 1, it was on option 2, so I have left the voice that I had been using. I have ticked the auto mute, which as we know doesn't stay checked. I have set the PTT time to 20 seconds, I am aware that this will need to be altered if need be. I have set my VR hot key to Prt scn button.
In MCE I have my Yoke button two set to the prt scrn button via FSUIPC, which I believe is the correct way for then two to play nicely!
Now what I have had is this, either I press my PPT and speak my command for departure clearance, I am either getting absolutely no response, or I am getting my VCP repeat my request my command and ask for clearance again.
Now I have just read that I can set the auto mute via editing the PF3 ini, file, I will do this tonight.
But after reading the manual (section 7.1.4, auto mute sub section D) This states you have to press the PPT before pressing any command hot key, now does this mean we press the PPT, release and then press again and request clearance? Or do we just press the PTT and just request clearance?
And in reverse, if I had been talking to ATC via my VR, lets say in cruise and I am given a frequency change do I just press the corresponding reply hot key, and from then on in my VCP takes over all coms?
Im sorry if I maybe being a bit thick here! But in this case I have been able to get it to work, and I just need to be clear on the correct process for the use of the new auto mute function.
Thank you in advance
