fabio.dangelo Posted January 27, 2024 Posted January 27, 2024 (edited) I would really like to see DCS's standard setting for the radio similar to what Heatblur did for the Viggen. Short press activates the menu, long press activates the PTT. Edited January 27, 2024 by fabio.dangelo 3
twistking Posted January 27, 2024 Posted January 27, 2024 (edited) Short press to activate menu is problematic, because it makes it impossible to "click" the radio, which is not only useful, but also realistic. I mean only shortly keying the radio, for example to acknowledge something "non-verbally" or to simply get the attention of your wingman to follow up with visual sign (wing rocking, pedal sliding)... Therefore i think it would be better to have a quick double press to activate the menu. Or have the maximum press duration extremely short (to open menu) to still be able to short key the radio without opening the menu...

fabio.dangelo Posted January 27, 2024 Author Posted January 27, 2024 I personally have made an AutoHotKey script (which I would like to stop using, however, to save as many resources as possible) that does just that. If you press and hold, the menu does not appear and Voichat is active if you press briefly the menu pops up and VoiceChat activates and closes right away. In conclusion it can work just as you want it to.

I would appreciate a solution where i could blip PTT without the menu opening at all. My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original
fabio.dangelo Posted January 28, 2024 Author Posted January 28, 2024 There may be several solutions. 1. if you press for 0.3 tenths of a second the menu appears so to do the "beep" you need to be not too fast, but fast enough to do it in the desired time 2. after the appearance of the radio menu automatically disappears if within a certain number of seconds you do not interact with it 3. (the simplest) to the current options (two separate buttons for the radio menu and VoiceChat) a third one is added in the style of the Viggen ( keybinding for short press to open comms menu and long press (hold) allowing transmission over VOIP.) 1
