In the forgoing chapter you checked the FGCOM as a standalone application. Now we will test whether the '''FGFS''' (FlighGear Flight-Simulator) itself and the FGCOM work together, inclusive the PTT-button (PushToTalk, usually the space-bar) and the internal connections via the assigned ports. | In the forgoing chapter you checked the FGCOM as a standalone application.
