TeamSpeak Loses PTT
A Teamspeak user discovered rather abruptly that their programmed HOTAS “push-to-talk” configurations were completely blown away when updating to 3.6. They have many types of controllers and the only key bindings that work are the keyboard and the mouse. NO onther usb controller of any type works! It also destroyed all the whisper commands linked to HOTAS buttons.
