===Official host=== | |||

===Backups hosts=== | |||
When the official/main host is down, for whatever reason, discussion moves to the backup hosts. If you have problems connecting to irc.flightgear.org, it is worth it to try connecting to the backups. | |||
These hosts have the same channels as the main host, with the exception of a few quiet channels. | |||
