ATC Dialogue

[coalpedlar]

Is there any way to change the "Airline names" from World travel, etc. to Airline names I want to use so the ATC controller will speak to my airlines??

The only way I know that this is possible is when you download a freeware aircraft here from simviation.com. generally speaking, the commercial jets will have programmed atc-readable callsigns. For exapmle, the author/creator of the aircraft of a american airlines 777-200 would program and configure the atc so it could properly say "American." I don't think this is the only way, but you must have to get somekind of software that does that.

Sorry, that's all I know or can tell you.

Open the aircraft.cfg for the plane (by default found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\*your plane*)

Find the [fltsim.x] section of the aircraft.cfg, that corresponds to the livery, you wanna use.

Find this section:

atc_airline=
atc_flight_number=

In airline, type the airline, you want. Check this list, for what to write:

http://www.homepages.mcb.net/bones/04fs ... tsimaa.htm

What you want, should be the column on the left (ie. for Continental Airlines, type Continental.

Then enter your flight number.

It should look like this (flight number can be any number of course).

atc_airline=Continental
atc_flight_number=297

Boot up FSX, and try it.

If it doesn't work, take note of which [fltsim.x] section, you were editing, and open the following:

For Vista:

C:\Users\*your user\AppData('show hidden files' must be on)\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\SimObjects\*your plane*\state.cfg

For XP, it should be:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\SimObjects\*your plane*\state.cfg.

In the state.cfg, find the [fltsim.x] section, you were editing.

If it's not there, add this:

[FltSim.x]
atc_flight_number=
atc_id=
atc_id_enable=1
atc_airline=

Replace the 'X' with the number of the section, you were editing in the aircraft.cfg.

Make sure, all the sections are in order (ie. [fltsim.3 should not be above [fltsim.2]).

Now do your thing, it could look like this:

[FltSim.3]
atc_flight_number=297
atc_id=OY-AVT (the one I use)
atc_id_enable=1 (must be 1)
atc_airline=Continental

That should do it
