How to connect to (or observe) BPP Fly-ins with Teamspeak by Harun
Part 1. Obtaining Teamspeak Part 2. Setting up Teamspeak Part 3. Connecting to Teamspeak server Links: Teamspeak: http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads So, you've heard about an upcoming Fly-in for the BPP and you'd like to listen in? Or perhaps you'd like to get in a plane and practice your ATC lingo and ask questions before heading on VATSIM? Either way, the ATC comms with Teamspeak give everyone a better sense of flying realism. Note: DO NOT SHARE IP ADRESS ON THE LIST. This is a personal rule, for security reasons. If you need it you can email me, or Skype me. === Part 1: Downloading Teamspeak We use Teamspeak to connect for voice communication in ATC sessions. 1. Goto http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads 2. Download Teamspeak 3. Install Teamspeak. === Part 2: Configuring Teamspeak. 1. Select "Settings", then "Sound Input Settings". 2. Tab down to "Voice Send Method". 3. Choose "Push to talk". 4. Select the "Set" button. 5. Press a key on the keyboard that you want to use for communication. (I use Left Control.) 6. Select "Close." === Part 3: Connecting to Teamspeak Server. 1. When an event is scheduled, contact the coordinator to obtain the IP address for the voice comms. 2. Go into Teamspeak. 3. Select "Connection", "Quick Connect". 4. In the "Server Address" box, enter the IP you were given. 5. Enter your nickname. 5A. If you are flying, enter your call sign Example, LM4 (Landmark 4) or SWA91 (Southwest 91). 5B. If you are just observing, please write "OBS_" (OBS underscore) before your name. Example, "OBS_Harun". 6. Press "Connect". Don't worry about login name or password. === A few friendly notes. 1. If you are observing, do not chatter. Use Skype or MSN. Leave the comms open for the pilots and ATC. It's fine to ask questions, though. 2. Be aware that session audio may be recorded. I like to keep an archive of my performance. If you'd like a copy of the session, contact me. 3. DO NOT SHARE IP ADRESS ON THE LIST. This is a personal rule, for security reasons. If you need it, you can email me, or Skype me.
