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]. | 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).

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. | Recently for the release 0.14.0 Colin added better support for Airliners: now we have support for COM3 and ADF2.

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 :) | 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 :) | ||
==== ATIS playback fixed ==== | |||
Up until recently there was a bug in the underlying *lua-mumble* library for the server-bots. That problem manifested in the playback-bot going silent after a few minutes of transmitting. This was fixed, and I successfully run a test playback at EDDM for 48 hours. | |||
