On the vhf com panel there is a transfer sw and a mic selector for each of the com 1 and com 2 radios that i'm interested in programming into my hotas. I can set up a hat sw on my hotas that is a press and release. What I want to do is when i press it to the left it will transfer the two frequencies from stby to active. That part i can do, but when i release the hat switch i want it to select the vhf 1 mic (it's the rectangular button that lites up when it is pushed). Also, the same idea for when i press the hat switch to the right, it transfers the freqs and selects the vhf 2 mic. What I need is the codes to program into the release function for the two mic select buttons. Thanks, Tripppp

have you searched the dropdown menus?

Now we're getting somewhere, thanks again, T

Well i get the transfer to work, and i see the rectangular button depress and come back up, but the light in mic 2 doesn't switch and light up mic 1. If mic one isn't lit up, then i don't think i'm transmitting on mic 1, or maybe i am, but i do need to see the light in mic 1, and mic 2, light up. Ugh...
wise pebble
do you mean the light in the virtual cockpit or a led in your hardware panel?
wet drift
in the virtual cockpit, on the pedestal between the seats
for instance, when the mic 1 button is lit and i move my hat sw to the right and release, the freq's on the f/o's comm panel transfer, and i see the mic 2 button depress and pop out, but the light in the mic 2 button doesn't go on, and consequently the mic 1 light should go out
wise pebble
try these two events to press the VHF1 Mic1 and VHF2 Mic1
These control the MIC SELECTOR row of buttons in the Captain side.
wet drift
yes, i 've been trying those but they depress and release the mic rectangular button, but the led light in the button doesn't switch....if the light is 'on' for mic 2 and i press hat switch for mic 1, the button depresses but the led light doesn't change...using vPilot i can see that the mic isn't actually switching
wise pebble
ok, I found a way to make the events work
I still don't understand why this is needed
try adding the on release event with the same code passed for On Press except you change the last number from 1 to 4 (left mouse button release)
I have added the on release event in Hubhop
wet drift
it's just convenient, i don't like grabbing the mouse and trying to find the sweet spot over a button in order to click it....this way i can have four diff freqs loaded, two on left comm panel, two on right...like tower and ground on one side and departure and center on the other....
thanks for your help, i'll work on this tomorrow, good night
wise pebble
ohh, you can't add the on release, because you are using the on press already for something else.
hmm, the event requires both the on press and on release for the mic selector to work. Blame PMDG for that. OK, what if you stack the two commands one after the other? that is worth a try. It can work (only with PMDG) because they have their own code to process the ROTOR_BRAKE event.
or add the mic select press event to the code you alredy have for the swap. Then the release for the mic select on the on release. That should probably work too.
wet drift
is this what you meant, but it's not working...again the button depresses but mic doesn't switch
another way to do it is to use the vhf1 and vhf2 buttons on the number one radio...but strangely enough in the preset list there is only the ability to activate vhf1/2 from the third radio....if i could do it from the #1 radio that might work, but not going to be able to do that
it's listed as '3 radio vhf 1 press' and 'vhf 2 press'
wise pebble
is this what you meant, but it's not working...again the button depresses but mi...
Yes, but you also need to execute the release event in your on release config
The release event was added to Hubhop so you need to update your events in Mobiflight
wet drift
i updated the events, i see there are now 196 events under pmdg/737/radio, there were 194 before....even if i just program left hat sw input to 'vhf 1 Mic', it still won't switch from mic 2 to mic 1 on the radio panel....very strange
wise pebble
The event works. I tested with my buttons. You need to do both the press and release code.
wet drift
this is what i have for the press and release on hat sw
thank you for your patients, i'm going to get this
oops, 'patience'
wise pebble
I think you are not understanding
For the mic selector buttons, you need a press and release event bound to your on Press and on release of the hat switch.
The release event did not exist, so I added it yesterday after I did my own testing
Look for VHF1 MIC1 and VHF2 MIC1 labeled events. You should see a press and a release event for each.
wet drift
i just saw that and programmed it in and......voila! it works perfectly!!!...woohoo!!...thanks for your help, couldn't have done it without you!
