If someone could write a plugin that would mute Teamspeak when RX is active in VRC or vSTARS. That would make the world a better place.

I think it would be easier if you chose two different push to talk keys.  I use right Ctrl for teamspeak and left Ctrl for VRC and flying online.

RX is recieve, so I think he means when someone is talking on freq, mute TS.

Now, Moving on, that would require VRC and vSTARS having some sort of API to obtain the status of frequency comms at any point in time.

-Or Ross to develop the plugin -

Cheers!

I just have a TS profile that is set to a lower volume so if both que up at the same time I always here VRC or vSTARS over TS.

It would be better if it muted VA teamspeaks and ACARS programs when flights are below 10000

Some ACARS already have such a feature.

Then why does it take an average of 3 calls to get your pilots to join a localizer ?

What's the old saying about leading horses to water?

It should also give pause for those expecting a technological magic bullet.

Isn't this where the acronym PEBKAC comes into play?
