How to map the ICS Radio button

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

It should be the "trigger"  but I can't find the key map.  TIA.

Update: I think it is automatically mapped to the trigger and there is no way to change it.

I managed to find these binds.

Thanks but I am not using VOIP... Anyway, I checked that when I squeese the BTN6 on my TM F-18 HOTAS, the "ICP Radio Button" also clicks, no mapping has been done...

Use the standard comms menu shortcut (default '/' key).

Sadly certain fundamental bindings are wrong and missing. It's even wrong in the manual. The trigger on the cyclic with two detents should be for radio (ICS and chosen radio). There is currently no other way than using the global communications menu. To fire the weapons we actually need an extra button (the thumb button on the real cyclic) and also a binding for the button cover. The 2nd detent on the trigger should not be for weapon release. Another problem is the IZLID laser button. If you want to use it, it will only work after you clicked with your mouse on the real button on the collective. Otherwise your bound button won't work.
Check the page from the real manual...

Really? I have to click the IZLID button?! That was driving me nuts yesterday as tried nearly every button on my cyclic and collective to get it to work….thanks for the heads up but surely it needs to be fixed

@Kinkkujuustovoileipä To prevent misunderstandings, can you please give us bindings for:

Trigger 1st detent (ICS not only VOIP)
Trigger 2nd detent (Radio not only VOIP)
Weapon Release 1st detent
Weapon Release 2nd detent

The picture in Polychop manual has the items 1-5 repeated twice, that breaks the numbering scheme.

You already have both weapon buttons detent mappings, they are called "Fire Weapon [1st/2nd Detent]". Button cover is purely mechanical, you don't even need to flip it open to fire a weapon in real life, according to Casmo.

"Communication Menu" binding serves as trigger 2nd detent.

@some1 As far as i remember, the global communication menu won't work if the server has easy comm disabled. You need to have dedicated PTT buttons to bind in a DCS module. Both current PTT binds work only for VOIP radios.
