TeamSpeak 2 Instructions

  For sgsterling.com TeamSpeak server

sgsterling.com operates a TeamSpeak2 Server, primarily to support northwest flying enthusiasts playing Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator online. TeamSpeak allows players to talk with each other as they fight in simulated battles. Being able to coordinate the games and "smack talk" during play adds much to experience.

These instructions guide new folks on setting up to use the sgsterling.com TeamSpeak2 server.
  1. You will need a pair of headphones with a headphone-mounted boom microphone. These are made specifically for online game playing. They have the proper connectors to hook into your computer's audio system. Using computer speakers and computer microphone IS NOT ACCEPTABLE-- it causes audio feedback.  Headphones with built-in microphone isolate the audio so it is not fed back into the microphone. These computer gaming headphones are available at  Wal-Mart and Best Buy. Many other places too.

  2. You will need to download  TeamSpeak 2 client and install it. You don't need the server software, you will need the CLIENT software. It is available  at
