Do I need GSX?

Yes. Cockpit2Ground enhances and replaces the communication system used by FSDreamTeam GSX, making it a required dependency.

Is Cockpit2Ground realistic?

Absolutely. Realism is at the heart of Cockpit2Ground. We work closely with real-life airline pilots and ground crew to recreate authentic phraseology, procedures, pronunciations and communication flows. Depending on where you fly, you’ll hear regional accents, local greetings and even complete language packs—such as fully German ground crew communications at airports throughout Germany.

Does the software support multiple languages?

Yes. Cockpit2Ground includes multiple language packs covering airports around the world. In addition to international English communications with regional accents, selected countries feature complete native-language voice packs for an even more immersive experience.

Does weather affect the communication?

Yes. Ground crew communication can react to weather conditions and the current time of day, making operations feel more natural and believable.

Why can I not hear any sounds?

Make sure you have the volume knob on the radio panel of your aircraft turned up. Cockpit2Ground reads the position of the actual radio panel volume knob and sets the volume of the application accordingly (only for supported aircrafts). Also check if you have set the correct audio output device inside the AUDIO settings of Cockpit2Ground.

When will the pushback tug disconnect?

The tug will disconnect and the headset will be removed only after all engines have successfully started. This is according to real-life procedures.

Why do I hear both GSX and Cockpit2Ground audio?

Open the Audio Settings tab and make sure you click FIX on the GSX warning message to disable the original GSX audio.

Can I customize the audio?

Yes. Cockpit2Ground offers multiple audio presets that simulate different communication equipment—from crystal-clear professional headsets to older, worn radio systems with authentic imperfections. Tho, you can not implement your own audio recordings.

How do I get updates?

All future updates can be downloaded through the Contrail store where you purchased Cockpit2Ground. We are committed to continuously expanding the product with new voices, language packs, features and improvements.

Where can I buy Cockpit2Ground?

Cockpit2Ground will be available exclusively via Contrail.Shop . If you check out make sure to use our discount code ‘aviationlads’ to get 10% off !

Will more language packs be added?

Yes. We plan to continuously expand Cockpit2Ground with additional countries, regional accents and localized language packs based on community feedback and demand.

Will Cockpit2Ground impact simulator performance?

No. Cockpit2Ground has been designed to integrate seamlessly with GSX while maintaining excellent performance and a minimal impact on simulator resources. C2G will automatically go in idle mode during cruise when it is not needed and re-activates after you have landed.

Is an internet connection required?

Yes. An active internet connection is required to use Cockpit2Ground. You also need it to use Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

Can I use Cockpit2Ground in multiplayer?

Yes. Cockpit2Ground is designed as a client-side enhancement to your own simulator experience and can be used while flying online or in multiplayer sessions.

When will I hear the arrival or departure airport name?

Airport names are triggered randomly during arrival and departure communications, adding natural variation to each turnaround. So you will not hear the departure or arrival airport name everytime – as in real life.

Why is there an orange speaker icon?

Everything is working correctly. The orange speaker icon indicates that your aircraft’s radio/intercom volume is set to zero. Turn up the volume on your radio panel to hear the ground crew.
