Hello @ll,

I have a VoIP app in the back of my drawer that is tied into the radios of the simulator. I wondered if anybody would be interested in something like this. Works just like a real radio would, inlcuding fake background cockpit noises :slightly_smiling_face:
Architecture wise it it point-to-point, one of the participants runs the server and everybody else (including him) connects to it with a client, that in turn connects to the sim. Naturally this requires a bit of knowledge about how to implement port forwarding rules in your router and firewall.

Best regards

If you want to simulate real ATC communication you could try this: Homepage - PilotEdge.net It is a subscription based service. I have not used it myself but looks cool. I think if I ever go back and try and get my license I would use this service. For me flying is the easy part talking on the radios not so much.

BTW i fly exclusively in VR, so whatever chat that may come along for MSFS needs to cater for that .

If you fly with the A32NX mod. You can have an aircraft to aircraft communication using the MCDU free text function. Just type in the receiving flight number and the message, and they’ll receive your message. It works the other way too. Have them type in the message and send it to your flight number, and you’ll receive a notification in the upper ECAM and open the message in the MCDU.

If you are looking for something that requires running a server on your own and everyone have to connect to the server, SIMCOM X should still works with MSFS.

I am thinking of adding the feature to Flight Events (https://events.flighttracker.tech). And I also fly mostly in VR nowadays, so whatever I created will also target VR :slight_smile:.

ideally, a simple ingame chat function to be able to chat with other pilots in visual range for instance, shouldn’t imagining that would be too hard for Asobo to sort out.
