Hi there,

We (some friends and me) have a permanent Teamspeak
Server running at

ts.netfrag.org

Feel free to use it for your Multiplayer Sessions
on channel "flight deck" !!
The server is usually quite fast but from time to time
it might be offline for updates. (Our admin is still testing various things).

You can download the client here
http://www.goteamspeak.com/downloads.php

and this is a basic description how to use the client
http://www.goteamspeak.com/help.php?t=ts2tutorial

Please use headphones ! Speakers tend to generate feedback wich makes communications difficult.

If you are new to teamspeak please make a self test
in the Teamspeak Client and adjust the voice activation
level if neccessary. (Settings/Sound Input Output/
test codec: speex 25.9). Needs to be decreased when
your words are cut or some are not coming through.
It needs to be increased if your green controll Icon
shows that you´re sending all the time (than other players probabely will hear you breath all the time)

If your voice is to low
adjust the microphone level and
activate the "microphone boost" option in the windows mixer.
These options are a little hidden and hopefully I can point you into the right
direction cause my windows is german (translation
might differ a little)

Bring up your
audio mixer by double clicking on your speaker symbol
in the lower right corner.
This brings up the panel for Playback only !! In this
panel the microphone should be set to "sound off"
otherwise you would hear yourself through the mic.
Bring up menu Options/Properties and choose from the
three options "adjust volume for.." the checkbox "recording" and hit OK.
This brings up the recording panel.
Here you will find another volume control for the microphone that controlls the level you are sending to
others. You can use it during the selftest in the TS Client
to properly adjust your output. If you are still not loud enough open the menu "options" again and activate
"advanced options". Now you will see a new button below
the microphone controls "Advanced". When clicked
another window pops up where you can activate the
option "microphone boost".
As a general rule your voice should be about as loud
in the selftest as the female TS Computer voice that
sounds when you connect. 

I hope this doesn´t scare anyone to connect.
It´s not that hard as it may sound
and you usually need to change these settings only
when connecting for the first time.
It´s just to ensure an understandable communication
for everyone !!

If there is something that does not work for you just contact me here or connect to the server and we will
see if we can work it out (you can send text messages
in teamspeak as well)

Hopefully I will have some more time in the near future
to join your multiplayer sessions.. and maybe we can have a little chat on this server.
Have fun !

cheers...

Guys, be on the look out for Ozzy, he might pop up from within the clouds and pounce on ya.

Hmm.. rabit banned me..

Quote:

Why were you banned Iceland??

TSC.

sorry for the inconvenience ! You´re unbanned now.
Rabit banned you a bit to hasty because of the following reason.
Sometimes kiddies join our server and find it extremly funny
to produce enormous feedbacks to bother the users (ears).
Yesterday we had some of these kiddies on our server again.
And you must have been quite loud when you joined.
He didn´t recognize you as a flightsimmer, thought you were one of them.. and banned you.
Please check your voice quality before joining with the Teamspeak selftest as described above.
To prevent such accidents in the future I will register you
(all the flighsimmers) to the server when I see you around
(You must be connected for this). Than other admins will recognize you as a registered server user.

I hope this will not detain anyone from joining. Every
flightsimmer who wants to use our server is still very welcome.. but please take some time to configure your teamspeak !

cheers


ps. will make a sticky "Airshow" Channel tonight !!
