+[https://github.com/hbeni/fgcom-mumble FGCom-Mumble] aims to provide a mumble based FGCom implementation. This will simulate radio communications in a seamless frequency spectrum.
+The project aims to be easy to use: Pilots just install the plugin, open mumble, join a channel on a mumble server and start using their radio stack in Flightgear.
+The development is discussed in the {{forum link|title=FGCom-mumble|f=32|t=37644}}. Releases can be downloaded from {{github source|user=hbeni|repo=fgcom-mumble|text=GitHub}}.
+The project also has a flightgear wikipage: [[FGCom-mumble]]
+===== Test server available! =====
+I was able to get a small virtual linux server and deployed a test bed onto it.
+* The adress is mumble://fgcom.hallinger.org for mumble
+* A status page can be viewed at http://fgcom.hallinger.org
+I did already test this and i think it works fine. There is an outstanding issue with ATIS broadcasts stopping after a short while, but i currently think this is a library bug somewhere else.
+To connect/use, you need to self-compile mumble; [https://github.com/hbeni/fgcom-mumble/wiki#compiling-mumble-140-plugin-branch-from-krzmbrzl-on-a-debian-testing-bullseye-system i wrote a small guide for debian/bullseye].
+We should gather around to get a small testing event :) Feel free to chime in at the {{forum link|title=forums thread|f=32|t=37644}}!
