The shortcut for chatting is underscore and it brings up a small window that you can type in. By default, other people's messages are displayed at the top of FlightGear's window for a few seconds, but it will appear for a much longer time in the window at <tt>Network > Chat</tt>. So if you think you have missed anything, go check there.
