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! | Of course you need an uninterrupted Internet access to exchange data between You and your clients/targets.

You will soon discover, that using a Radio-application makes it much easier to communicate | |||

*'''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. | |||
*A '''Radio''' is not directly integrated into OpenRadar but must be installed in addition. Right now there are 2 versions in use: | |||
**'''FGcom''' is the more realistic Radio-operation with realistic frequencies for each function and a limited work-range based on frequency. | |||
: | :::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. | |||
:::To activate it see http://mumble.sourceforge.net/Mumbleguide | |||
:::The most used Mumble-server is "mumble.allfex.org" | |||
