FGCom:

FGCom is a command line, voip, virtual radio software built around Asterisk. It works together with the FlightGear flight simulator to bring realistic radio communications to your FlightGear sessions. There are some FlightGear wiki articles on fgcom here, here, and here.

FGComGui:

FGComGui is a simple gui front end to fgcom, which aims to make using fgcom easy and friendly. It has currently been tested on Linux and Windows operating systems, with plans for a Mac version at some point in the (hopefully near) future.

Windows:

Users can find prebuilt binary packages on the Downloads tab(grab the newest). These come with everything needed to start using fgcomgui/fgcom. There is no installer currently, just unzip somewhere and run. See the Windows installation guide for more detailed installation instructions.

Linux:

Users will have to build from source, see the Source tab for instructions how to get it from svn. Currently there is a simple scons script for building, known to work on Ubuntu Intrepid, you may need to adjust the SConstruct file for your system. A better build system will be coming soon, probably using cmake. You will also need to have installed fgcom. There is a patch for fgcom on the Downloads tab that is recommended, though not entirely necessary. Among other things the patch flushes the stdout/stderr of fgcom after writing so fgcomgui is able to read it in realtime. See the Linux installation guide for more detailed instructions.

Documentation can be acessed from the help menu. (Help -> Documentation)
