[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]] | |||

The plugin itself stayed the same, but it will (wrongly) complain about an pending update always until I do another release of the plugin. | |||
Under the hood on the server side, the statuspage usage statistics got an upgrade that allows [https://github.com/hbeni/fgcom-mumble/blob/master/server/statuspage/Readme.statuspage.md#usage-statistics selection of the displayed timeframe of the graph]. This is already available [http://fgcom.hallinger.org/ online]. | |||
