Hi Holger, The whole area of ATC/MP voice/text interaction is is an area that has suddenly become very popular! FG 0.9.10 supports the festival Text To Speech library so the current ATC messages can be played. Details here: http://www.flightgear.org/Docs/getstart/node3.html#SECTION03360000000000000000 The latest CVS version of FG now supports text chat between MP users, which can also be played through Festival. Currently messages are broadcast to all users, but I have code that restricts messages to specific COM frequencies. Also, Curt has just posted a message from Jon W about using ASR. To come back to your idea. Personally I think it would be best implemented as a separate app that communicates with FG rather than being part of FG itself. FG has an open protocol system allowing you to easily export the COM frequencies etc. to an external app. See http://cvs.flightgear.org/cgi-bin/viewvc/viewvc.cgi/data/Protocol/README.Protocol?revision=1.3 for details. This would allow the VoIP client to be run on a separate computer if required. -Stuart Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
