We alrady have fgcom - no need for skype since fgcom has integration with FG
so that things like changing the freq. on the in sim com radio(s) causes fgcom
to connect to a different channel and it also trys to simulate radio
propagation. Is fgcom perfect? No it still needs work but it would be a lot
of work to figure out how to get skype to do what fgcom already does and that
same amount of effort could significantly improve fgcom. I don't see the point
in moving to skype.
There is alread some text to sound support using the festival text to speach
engine. Festival works on a wide range of systems (Windows, Linux and Mac)
although I don't know if it works on android. The text to speach support is
primitive at best but I don't personnally think this is a big issue since IMHO
the text chat feature in FG should be removed in favor of real voice
communications via fgcom. After all few if any aircraft have text chat
capabilities but almost all aircraft have com radios.
