I could not only hear the other chat but I could also hear all the GPL sounds. Compared to Roger Wilco, Fire Talk *IS* the tool to have. One possible solution would be to send an Email to Fire Talk asking for some possible solutions or even a new version of Fire Talk that'll support GPL. Mean while, Roger Wilco still remains to be the best thing for *** because it's free. -- ========================================= Mike Barlow of Barlow Racing? ========================================= http://members.xoom.com/BarlowRacing/ Racing online with the help of......

Has anyone had any success in getting firetalk to work in a GPL race? If you have, please could you explain how you did it! When I tried with some friends, we have the problem that when in GPL we are not heard when we speak. However we can still hear people who are not in the GPL race. I also had the added problem that I had no sound in GPL while firetalk was still running. Thanks for the help Marc

I just went looking around in the options section of Fire Talk. When I originally installed the application I set it up to use a button (left arrow key) to talk. I had the same problem as you did as far as being able to hear all the chat but not able to transmit. while looking at that "options" set up window I noticed that the Arrow key was selected *BUT* the check box next to it that says "use Global Push to Talk" was not selected. I just checked it but I haven't been able to test it in GPL yet. So, There's a *possible* solution. Yesterday While in GPL I could hear the Chat and all of the GPL sounds. I had the Frame Rate display turned on and didn't notice a single bit of frame rate drop at all. This all may, or may not, change now that I have checked that check box. Let you know when I know more..

Update! Checking that check box did the trick!! I could send with ZERO fps hits. The next problem is receiving again. Could be a non related problem but another F3 driver and I went through some tests.. He could hear me but I couldn't hear him.. Still testing things though..
