ATC Window

[expat]

Does anyone know if it is possible to assign to key commands or joystick buttons the ATC window. We can change frequencies and radio selection via the keyboard, but can we select what we want to reply to ATC via a button too. I know that we use the number keys or the mouse to select them, but I would like to be free of the keyboard. This is really my last attachment to the keyboard. I have all inputs assigned to yoke, throttle quadrant and assorted buttons. I am also using a VRinflight M Panel for radio selection (amongst other functions). With the M Panel, I can dial in the in use frequency and the standby and swap them as required when given a new frequency by ATC. But I can still only transmit via the ATC window by clicking in it with the mouse. I would like to be able to assign a button(s) to do this. Anyone any ideas.

Thanks

I haven't tried this but I would think that using FSUIPC you could assign the '1', '2', etc to a button.

I've assignedf F8 & F12 to a button this way with no problems.

i have the saitek X52, and i mapped it via the SST software to control ATC usign the top hat switch

i just mapped it to hit 1, 2, 3, 4, in a clockwise manner... doesn't cover all the ATC options, but it does work for most ATC operations

not having to take your hand off the stick to reply really is a very nice thing  :)

Cheers
