Command Bindings

xPilot provides several commands that can be assigned to keyboard keys, joystick buttons, or hardware switches within X-Plane.

If you’re unfamiliar with configuring command bindings, refer to the X-Plane Manual – Configuring Keyboard Shortcuts.

Available xPilot Commands

• Radio Push to Talk (PTT)
  Assign xPilot: Radio Push-To-Talk (PTT) to transmit on the currently selected radio while connected to the network.

• Split Audio Channels
  Assign xPilot: Split Audio Channels to route COM1 audio to the left channel and COM2 audio to the right channel. This mirrors the Split Audio Channels option in xPilot settings.

• Toggle Aircraft Labels
  Assign xPilot: Toggle Aircraft Labels to show or hide aircraft labels.

• Toggle Aircraft Sounds
  Assign xPilot: Toggle Aircraft Sounds to enable or disable ambient aircraft sounds.

• Toggle Default X-Plane ATIS
  Assign xPilot: Toggle Default X-Plane ATIS to enable or disable the default ATIS. By default, xPilot disables the built-in ATIS while connected to the network.

• Toggle Messages Window
  Assign xPilot: Toggle Messages Window to show or hide the message window. See the note in Messages Window for keyboard binding limitations.

• Toggle Nearby ATC Window
  Assign xPilot: Toggle Nearby ATC Window to show or hide the Nearby ATC window.

• Toggle Notification Panel
  Assign xPilot: Toggle Notification Panel to show or hide the notification panel.

• Toggle TCAS Control
  Assign xPilot: Toggle TCAS Control to request or release TCAS control. If another plugin already owns TCAS targets and does not release them, xPilot will be unable to take control.
