* To use the integrated [[FGCom]] radio system (especially recommended in FlightGear network sessions), check the FGCom command entered in the system settings. If you have FlightGear installed on your machine, you can point to the FGCom executable already available with it. On Linux, the default "fgcom" command usually does the job. Otherwise, [https://sourceforge.net/projects/atc-pie/files/fgcom-standalone/ download an FGCom stand-alone program] from ATC-pie's SourceForge file list. To test your set-up, try an echo test from the ''System'' menu. If you have problems hearing yourself, search for "FGCom" in the [[ATC-pie FAQ]].
