# Comms Center Overview

Where your crew comes to life — if you so choose

### <mark style="color:$primary;">Highlights</mark>

* The Comms Center is an AI-driven chat system for interacting with your crew and operations staff. Conversations are open-ended and can cover any subject. It supports both text and voice input.&#x20;
* The optional [Multi-Language](https://fs2crew.com/product/fs2crew-generation-ai-language-pack/) and [Voice Pack](https://fs2crew.com/product/fs2crew-generation-ai-global-voice-pack/) add-ons enable communication in languages beyond English. Our system allows seamless switching between multiple languages within a single conversation. For example, a conversation could be conducted in half English and half German.

### <mark style="color:$primary;">Limits</mark>

* The Comms Center is not for aircraft commands or checklists. It is meant for general conversations (chit-chat). Inputs such as "gear down" will not be acted upon — use the main app for crew commands.
* Like all AI systems, responses can sometimes be unpredictable. However, performance and quality continue to improve daily.
* Access to aircraft-specific data is very limited. For example, if the FO notes a hydraulic leak during the walkaround, don't take it literally. Conversations with crew members are AI-generated and primarily ambient.

### <mark style="color:$primary;">Usage</mark>

* Click the chat icon (bottom-right) to open the Comms Center. Select a crew member from the left panel, then type a message and press Send (paper airplane icon).

* You can create joystick/keyboard assignments for the microphone button on the CONTROL SETTINGS panel.
* When finished communicating, minimize the Comm Center panel. Do not keep it open all the time.
* The Comms Center can retrieve certain data from MSFS and SimBrief, though aircraft-specific information remains limited. If you have an active SimBrief flight plan, you can ask the FO for NOTAMs and the ATIS for your arrival or destination airport. The FO can also obtain current weather data upon request.

### <mark style="color:$primary;">Setting Personalities and Moods</mark>

* Assign a mood or personality to individual crew members by clicking the emoji, or randomize all crew at once by clicking the cards icon.
