FGCom is a voice communication feature. That way you can communicate with other pilots and airspace controllers during your flight. | |||
The main idea is to reproduce the real aviation communication, in other words this feature is designed to make radio communication as real as possible during your flights. | |||
FGCom is available by two ways: | |||
* Integrated into FlightGear (FGCom builtin): this is certainly the better solution because easier to use | |||
* External software (FGCom standalone): you should use this one only if you plan to use FGCom in a special case | |||
'''IMPORTANT:''' FGCom builtin is certainly the solution you are looking for. FGCom standalone is only for those of you who want a complex setup. | |||
