Of course you need an uninterrupted Internet access to exchange data between You and your clients/targets. The requirements for that connection are not very high -- but they must be uninterrupted!

We urge you to always offer your services as well in typing (MPchat) as also in speaking (FGcom).

*'''MPchat''' is an integral part of OpenRadar and needs no further installations. (ref.: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:Multiplayer )
You will soon discover, that using a Radio-application makes it much easier to communicate
*But '''FGcom''' is a standard application which must be installed in addition.

If FGCOM is not yet installed, see:
*'''MPchat''' is an integral part of FGFS and OpenRadar and needs no further installations. (ref.: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:Multiplayer ) - so it is always available for communication between you and all pilots.
:*For Windows and Linux: http://code.google.com/p/fgcomgui/  
*A '''Radio''' is not directly integrated into OpenRadar but must be installed in addition. Right now there are 2 versions in use:
:*For OSX: We do not know of a standalone installation source - but we do know that starting with version 2.0.0 the FGFS-OSX-version does contain the FGCom. That fits and works for OSX >= 10.5.
**'''FGcom''' is the more realistic Radio-operation with realistic frequencies for each function and a limited work-range based on frequency.
:In addition you may inform yourself about FGCOM on:
:::If FGCOM is not yet installed, you need to install a "standalone version of FGCom 3.0", which then can be controlled directely from within OpenRadar. For installation see http://wiki.flightgear.org/FGCom_3.0, item "3 FGCom standalone".

:*'''Mumble''' is an easier to handle application, that provides "named groups" that people with the same reason move/change into. Thus Mumble is not limited by range and much easier to use for defining by "groups" which people will communicate with each other.
|-
:::If Mumble is not installed you may install it according to http://mumble.sourceforge.net/Installing_Mumble.
|for general infos||http://wiki.flightgear.org/FGCom
:::To activate it see http://mumble.sourceforge.net/Mumbleguide
|-
:::The most used Mumble-server is "mumble.allfex.org"
