FGEXTEND-MUMBLE
Brought by the user ICARE38 - Another work that deserve a try.
status : stable and "usable by all"
Client :
+1
any mumble version : stable and easy.
+1
FGExtend : free and available for Linux / Mac / Windows.
Mumble usable in 2 ways :
1. + FGEXTEND ;
2. normal usual way.
1. with FGExtend
you change frequency in your plane = FGExtend change for you the channel in Mumble (if station is in proper range).
e.g.
[ you ] - contact PESCARA TWR 118.450
[ pilot ] - TWR 18.45 thank you - Skylane 33
[ pilot ] set 118.45 in stanby freq ( a experient pilot would have it preset ) - depress xfr button - freq 118.450 become active.
[ FGXt ] change automatically the mumble channel to PESCARA TWR
[ pilot ] - PESCARA TWR - Skylane 33 holding short RWY 04 at CHARLIE
[ TWR ] - Skyline 33, line up 33, wait and report ready.
[ . . . ] . . .
Of course or you do need some else on TWR freq
or you do need to "bridge" TWR and APP channels like Services do when 1 ATC operate on several frequencies.
Range if the station is taken in account.
GND have typically a 5-10 NM range
TWR 15-25 NM
APP 60-80 NM
!!! Important !!!
No One need to click on channels to change channel ...
You even may have mumble and FGExtend running in backplane and forgetting them for the whole flight !
Just look at your radio in the plane !
2. Without FGExtend, the normal way
The usual way ... clicking as in any social tool ...
Note that the mumble server have a separate place for social non-ATC communications.

Regular Mumble/Murmur
At radio-mumble . flightgear . fr the service is up from many years / 24 H . We may consider it as stable !
[url]radio-mumble.flightgear.fr[/url]
The service is freely open to anyone. No password nor identification needed. just asked to use non offensive pseudo.
Several part in it :
I. the ATC channels ;
II. the "Hangar channels where any one find a place to chat in his language ;
III. Some additional specific channels for many uses even like special events.
Every user may create new channels at his will.
Theses are by default temporary and everyone may request to make them permanent.
There is currently in between 1000 to 2000 channels. mostly ATC oriented.
A regular registered ATC may obtain the right to link frequencies in his service.
A windows installer is under test to simplify the install for Windows users.

http://www.moohw.com/FGExtend/FGExtend_Tutorial_v1.0.2-extract-9-28.pdfA mew murmur with :
- multichannel COM - VHF1 / VHF2 / VHF3 / HF1 / SATCOM
- ATIS facility recordable by the ATC
- CPDLC / ARCARS
- advanced control by the ATC
is as we speak underwork.
Discord

I have intentionally left out Discord that really do not suite the ATC/aviation communication need
and continue to split our little community/
This the state of our Comms
So we do not have at that moment a 100% 0K communication tools.
Sorry the long post
Have fun.
