Chat in Multiplayer?

[FlyBaby 659]

I have only done multiplayer games / chat on Xbox.

Does MSFS offer chat through their group session in-game?

If, not any suggestion on what app to use for MP chat?

My suggestion is to use Discord and the official MSFS Discord server:

https://discord.gg/msfs

It's where most of the multiplayer events are organized, voice ATC is set up, etc.

Teamspeak. Free, efficient, doesn't want to know your medical/employment history.

EDIT: Or email address.

i dont know about chat on xbox, but we use Teamspeak with a private server, but not only for MSFS,

for all other games we play or just hanging around and chat.

You can, press windows key + g to bring up the Xbox gamer panel where you can add friends and chat, plus record etc. It's similar to steam

Thanks, do users need a live subscription for this to work?

I don't think so because it's available if you don't have any games installed

I would reccomend that anyone interested  in flying as oppossed to childish meme-fests and cronyistic admins avoid that place.

There are some decent Discord channels but Personally I just need a voice channel, not all that nonsense, so Im  going back to using  Teamspeak for group flights..it does what it says on the tin

 

P.S. the official MSFS Most certainly is not where most multiplayer events are organised, The various Bush Flying Discords host far more frequent group flights, to the degree that on a Saturday or Sunday you will have a choice of at least 3 different  groups In just that Genre
