Dre New Edition Hi, you can contact ATC via the multiplayer interface, such as vPilot via text, but you need a mic for audio. There are a number of third party programs that will convert text to speech, but again a mic is needed I believe to send this to ATC.

Lon Suder , yes indeed, squawkbox chat is a very viable alternative to vPilot. Thanks for commenting.

I like that one ATC controller whos a nice lady somewhere in the mideast USA area. Or was it California, whatever, you know who. Can we have a story about her and some of the more well known ones? That would be interesting
