teamspeak question

(1/1)

EHM-1281 Cyriel:
I recently started online flying and so far am using text only. Yesterday I installed teamspeak. Now I wonder how this works. Imanaged to get connected to the right server and can hear everybody no problem. I only wonder how the behave here. I understand the Mic. is always open. So let's say you are parked and need ifc clearance for your flight. Am I right that you just say in your mike " ehm1281 requesting ifr clearance to etc..." when connected to the right atc ( in yesterday's case eham_TWR.

Although I was listning I also had problems understanding what they said so I'm a little bit nervous doing this. So does anyone know a nice quit airport to practice this?

One more thing. Yesterday french ATc told me just before landing "report speed control" . Does anyone know what this means?

Yes that what you say to the ATC. For they will reply with your Clearence. YOu might need a pen and paper for that so you can right down what he says.

Im not sure but I think you have you have to say t othe ATC your speed.

Hope that helped. Oh and put 'New pilot, need help' when your flying. Thats what I do, so if your stuck they will most likely help you.

In TeamSpeak you have two choices, either Voice Activated, where you set your mic to turn itself on when it hears sound above a certain threshold (personal opinion - doesn't work, you end up listening to people typing most of the time, or hearing their kids runing around, or ...) or Push-to-Talk, where you press a key and then start talking, releasing the key when you are finished talking (personal opinion - works like a charm, and there are plenty of tools to let you map mouse or joystick buttons to key presses so you don't have to use a keyboard to generate the appropriate key press)
