Teamspeak is a wonderful addition to multi-player flying but it is not compulsory for flying with this server.

Some server hosts request teamspeak to be used 100% of the time whilst connected to their session. This is OK for some people but when i fly i am not always at the computer and its hard to hear whats going on from the other end of the house let alone trying to answer in time.

I find that the chat box does just fine in those times that I'm doing other things as well. Its very hard to talk to the wife and use teamspeak at the same time. She actually joins teamspeak sometimes just so I will answer her. So to keep the peace in your family too use it when you want to and just use the chat box at other times.

You can get the teamspeak client here

To connect just use the same IP as multi-player :-    figs.hopto.org

The password is beer
