=== FGCom-mumble === | |||
[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]] | |||
==== Release 0.13.0 restructures release files. Windows updater broken.... ==== | |||
The [https://github.com/hbeni/fgcom-mumble/releases/tag/v.0.13.0 release 0.13.0] is the last one to feature the <code>binOnly</code> release ZIP. In the future there are just two packages: one for evrything client related (packaging the FGFS addon, the RadioGUI and of course the mumble plugin), and one for the server side (lua bot scripts, status webpage). This makes downloading and installing much easier. | |||
Mumble will notify about plugin updates, but the updater is currently broken on windows, so you have to unzip the package and install the matching DLL by hand for now (just select it from mumbles plugin install dialog). The issue is already reported to the mumble team as [https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/issues/4946 Issue 4946]. | |||
==== Better airliner support: COM3+ADF2 now usable ==== | |||
Recently for the release 0.14.0 Colin added better support for Airliners: now we have support for COM3 and ADF2. As there are no keybinds for COM3 in FGData yet, I added a new COMBar, which can be opened from the Multiplayer/FGCom-mumble menu entry. It displays a small GUI element containing all known COM radios as buttons, which can be used to activate PTT for the radio. | |||
==== Map mumbles inegrated PTT to FGCom-mumble radio PTT ==== | |||
0.13.0 brought a new feature to map mumbles own standard PTT keybinding to FGCom-mumble radio instances. | |||
You can use this to activate arbitary radios when pushing mumbles own PTT button. | |||
This is configured in the (optional) <code>fgcom-mumble.ini</code> file. The default is that mumble's PTT will activate COM1. | |||
For Airliner pilots this may also be a good option to bind this to COM3, so you can activte COM1/COM2 trough the old FGCOM-Keybinds out of flightgear, and COM3 from mumble itself :) | |||
