I'm spending all of my MP time on DCS A-10 and have mapped my TS3 PTT to the throttle Mic Switch Up. However, when I'm not gaming, I put my gear aside ---- my gaming PC is also my general-purpose PC. Everytime I do this, I need to re-map the PTT to a keyboard key, then when I fly, I have to re-map it again to the throttle Mic, then when I put my gear aside, I re-map it again to the keyboard.

Is there a way around this? Maybe having two PTT buttons?

And no, I am not touching TARGET.

What type of gear are you using? Depending on the type of HOTAS setup you have, you might be able to assign any of the buttons to a key. That way you can choose which key you want for PTT on the KB; then assign the same key to whatever button you use. I know with CH Products you can do this with their software; and I think it's the same for Logitech, Saitek, and TM.

I use a program called Joker that allows me to map my joystick buttons (same one you are using) to a keyboard key (in my case the left control key). This way in game or out I do not have to reset TS3 over and over.

I'm using a TM Warthog and what you are suggesting is building a TARGET profile, but I'm not touching TARGET as it just messes with the Warthog's plug-n-play.

PropNut, got a link to that program?
