Cockpit2Ground Realistic ground crew communication for MSFS 2024
Cockpit2Ground replaces the default GSX Pro audio with custom, regionally accented voice recordings. The ground crew talks to you over the intercom during pushback, engine start, de-icing and arrival, and the voices match the airport and airline you fly.
Requires Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and GSX Pro

What Cockpit2Ground does
Ground crew that talks back
Calls are triggered by what actually happens: the aircraft state, GSX, your flight plan, weather, time of day and location. The cockpit crew answers in every phase.
Interactive intercom
The ground crew rings the cockpit and calls again if you do not answer. Volume follows the intercom knob on supported aircraft.
Pushback and engine start
Towbar and towbarless pushback are detected automatically. Engine start follows the aircraft sequence, and the crew stays on the line until you confirm a good start.
Weather and de-icing
Engine start can be delayed for rain, snow or slippery surfaces. De-icing recognises the fluid type and concentration you chose in GSX.
Arrival
Ground power, chocks and securing the aircraft on arrival, with a personalised sign-off based on your flight, destination and time of day.
Live transcript and radio effects
A live transcript of every exchange, separate radio effects for ground and cockpit audio, and control over static, clicks and background noise.
What pilots say about Cockpit2Ground
A selection of customer reviews from the Contrail Shop, quoted unedited.
I like it very much. The languages and dialects in itself are worth the whole thing. Great improvement in terms of immersion! I don't find them to sound synthetic, at least not those I had to with so far.
The costs - yes, it's expensive but then: there seems to have gone a lot of work into it. At least they don't work with subscriptions...
Thumbs up from me!
Dennis An excellent addon that incredibly enhances cockpit immersion. I highly recommend it, both for the quality of the program and for the excellent support provided by the developer.
Carlo Massive improvement from default GSX - 100% recommend!

Over 180 voices with regional accents
Male and female voice sets are matched to the GSX ground crew avatar. The language follows the airport and the airline in your SimBrief flight plan: a French airline in Paris gets a French speaking crew, a foreign airline at the same gate gets English. You can also set a primary language.
