The reason we are on Mumble it was de facto decided 10 years ago.
Was Zexe pilot from Japan, and me (I expent 5 years in FG KSFO explaining newbie people how to configure FGcom via chat --generic=socket,out,2,127.0.0.1,16661,udp,fgcom, we used to live on 122.750 ).
Was Zexe that realizes mumble exists, he told me and we try it, and it worked out of the case with excellent sound and pilot list on screen. It was fastastic, as we expent to many chat efforts to grow community in KSFO, only the advanced users of Windows 2% were capable to configure advanced properties for fgcom, because we should to explain how to do it via fgchat and then newbie should restart fg.
Hour after hours, even month later when they installed new FGreleases, we should to repeat mantra for properties. Or send them a tiny url to a video how to configure fgcom.
It was really hard to grow community with FGCOM out of FG defaults, pretty hard. Anyway we did a good job cause we increased number of historical users. I did love FGCOM, but no more we'll suffer the torture of the radio check, low volume, property check, server fail, broken up restart or repeat for infinite time that unicom is 122.750.
We move to mumble, Sexe provided the dns.free and the pc. Then it's neighbour provides a server, for 3 years ( we grow a plus respect when FGcom ). Zexe moves to Tokio.
We were rescue by user Dacer who takes the relay, providing fast server and dns from gibraltar/cadiz, In 6 years nobody ask what is fgcom. There were problem (Micky Ditto)
Dacer become father. And we move to allfex who is supporting the charge.
So it was a defacto decision Zexe and me we move to mumble. For obvious reasons our customer community centre moved to mumble, where is easier to do.
Al least FGCOM is a Radio. It was more than that, and we couldn't support that situation for more time.
Almost I cried when I saw FGCOM integer on FG. How many efforts we expended on set-up. The integration occurred in my opinion 6 years late.
However is welcome as still is the FG Radio. But the sound still pretty low. So wear headphones like a pilot is recommended. I use to listen to prague radar
I think also a french user has hacked his mumble to run on FGRadio stack frequencies. Should be definitive if we have that on FG.
Still FGcom is the main alternative if you want radiostaking.
Cheers
