 <!--<span style="color: red">'''The previous IRC network is down for unknown reason those days!!!'''</span><BR>
 Not long ago the server we used went down for unknown reason. Its domain (http://flightbase.de, the one '''irc.flightgear.org''' points to!) is for sale and therefore the guess is, that it will not come online again soon, if ever.<BR>
-Atm we are using the backup network '''chat.freenode.net:6665'''. If you have problems connection to it try one of the listed on http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml.

 The '''FlightGear IRC''' (Internet Relay Chat) '''channel''' is a chat room related to everything about [[FlightGear]]. It's mostly used by developers, but it is also a good place to ask for help if you are having a question.
 To enter the IRC, you need an IRC client installed on your computer. For users of Mozilla browsers (like Firefox), the plugin [https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/16 ChatZilla] is surely a good option. You can also use [http://www.xchat.org/ XChat] (Linux and Windows), [http://www.pidgin.im/ Pidgin], [http://colloquy.info/ Colloquy] (for Mac), [http://www.mirc.com/ mIRC] or any other client.

-Unless the server is down (in which occassion you should try one of the backups), the main discussion takes place in the "main channel" of this official host: '''irc.flightgear.org'''.

-===Backups hosts===
-When the official/main host is down, for whatever reason, discussion moves to the backup hosts. If you have problems connecting to irc.flightgear.org, it is worth it to try connecting to the backups.
-These hosts have the same channels as the main host, with the exception of a few quiet channels.
