<div><!--<span style="color: red">'''The previous IRC network is down for unknown reason those days!!!'''</span><BR><br />
Not long ago the server we used went down for unknown reason. Its domain (http://flightbase.de, the one '''irc.flightgear.org''' points to!) is for sale and therefore the guess is, that it will not come online again soon, if ever.<BR><br />
ATM we are using mpserver12.flightgear.org<br />
<br />
The channels we are running:<br />

The '''FlightGear IRC''' (Internet Relay Chat) '''channel''' is a chat room related to everything about [[FlightGear]]. It's mostly used by developers, but it is also a good place to ask for help if you are having a question. <br />
<br />
To enter the IRC, you need an IRC client installed on your computer. For users of Mozilla browsers (like Firefox), the plugin [https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/16 ChatZilla] is surely a good option. You can also use [http://www.xchat.org/ XChat] (Linux and Windows), [http://www.pidgin.im/ Pidgin], [http://colloquy.info/ Colloquy] (for Mac), [http://www.mirc.com/ mIRC] or any other client.<br />
