What would be the best way to voice chat in FS2004 Multiplayer??

At the moment we are connecting through the games multiplayer feature, using ISP addresses, and using the chat window is a pain. Would be greatful if someone could suggest a free/cheap way to voice chat during the sessions.

Thanks.

This is how its done...>>>

..although I mostly prefer the Chat Window for fun, when in a group of Chums who don't have/use Teamspeak, (most don't)!

Paul...G-BPLF..FS 2004...and loads of spelling errors.. Grin

I found in the past that by the time it takes me to load up my FS 2004, get connected to Multiplayer, get my Mic+Headphone headset out (from upstairs in the bedroom), plug it all in the back of my Computer (in the dark) into the correct terminals, and set the intercom up correctly, all my flight Sim Chums have got fed-up with waiting...and all gone home...or left without me*!... Cry

...!

...so...instead...

I load up my FS 2004, instantly connect to Multiplayer with a couple of mouse clicks, and I'm away to go with everyone...quick as a flash, ready to Chat in a Window!... Grin

...!

Paul...G-BPLF..FS 2004...

...!

I find that Teamspeak is fine for just two Chums arranging in advance to fly together, with both of them using Teamspeak all correctly set up... Wink

...!

Like Skoker...given the choice of using Teamspeak or going down the pub, I would prefer *to go down the Pub as well.. Wink

I already knew what was going to happen here after I read Shane's one-hand comment.

With Paul around, word choice becomes critical. Grin
