petsild Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Hi, did anyone think of controlling the radio communication menu via joystick buttons? The VKBDevCfg setting options look limitless.

Weegie Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Should be feasible using VKB Config and getting it to send function key commands. Not sure though how you'd tackle all the changes to what the F keys do in the sub menus, as the menus change dynamically. Easier to use Vaicom or at least set up custom commands in Voice Attack for the various modes, I believe Bailey's profiles do this for VA. I think most folks prefer to use the hats on whatever throttle you're using, I certainly do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petsild Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 I found and started using this ingenious utility. It has simple and fully functional settings for the radio menu.

pixelpilot Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I really wish they would allow us to map joystick inputs to the f1 -f12 radio commands. Just add binding options in the UI layer for 'radio response 1' through to radio response 12' sure it's another 12 bindings most people might ignore but anyone who has any form of button box could then have radio answering buttons. The Fkeys are the only thing I ever have to reach for the keyboard for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weegie Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Dunno if it's me but I tried the VKB Config to try to get the buttons to send F keys, but it didn't work for me. If I want to use a keyboard command I use Voice Attack then get the relevant Dx button from the stick to trigger it. As I already have Voice Attack running anyway for Vaicom then it's not using up any more resource Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
