PTT causing PE to crash

I just downloaded and installed the new version of PE, which went smoothly (I uninstalled then old version first). I am able to connect without issue. I can hear the controllers just fine. However, PE "crashes" when I press my PTT button. In the PE window I get a "Protocol error: socket not connected." I then have to close PE using task manager. Both P3D and PE are opened without administrator priveleges (as instructed), but I get the error with admin priveleges as well. My PTT is mapped to a button on my yoke using FSUIPC.

Todd, that's a bit odd. Does the same thing happen if you use a keyboard-based PTT?

Interesting. Keyboard - based PTT works fine.

Good to know. Is this FSUIPC-induced crash (the 'socket not connected') occurring while you're connected to the network, or is this before you connect?

It occurs while connected to the network.

Ok, I'll try to look into that when I return from California. Can anyone else confirm that the FSUIPC-triggered PTT is crashing for them?

Seems to be working for me set up for use on saitek yoke.

In the meantime, google "JoyToKey" which is what I use. It maps a keyboard keystroke to my yoke.
