To chat with other pilots, go to the "Network" menu and select "Chat" or "Chat Menu" at the bottom of the menu.

The shortcut for chatting is "_" (underscore) and it brings up a small window where you can type. By default, other people's messages are displayed at the top of Flightgear's window for a few seconds, but it will appear for a much longer time in the window at <tt>Network > Chat</tt>. So if you think you have missed anything, go check there. | The shortcut for chatting is "_" (underscore) and it brings up a small window where you can type.

{{note|The multiplayer servers are interconnected. With few exceptions you '''do not''' need to connect to a specific server in order to see other pilots who are on that server. For best performance, you should connect to the server that is geographically closest to you, has the lowest latency (ping time) or is the least busy.}} | |||
