I've downloaded a few aircraft from this site.....actually a bunch. One of the things I notice is that some seem to be more compatible with the built-in ATC than others. For example, the B-52 that I'm using will correctly identify as a "Boeing Stratofortress" if I request flight following in VFR. This shows me that the ATC probably has the word "Stratofortress" somewhere in its vocabulary, despite the B-52 not being a default user aircraft. However, for the L-39 that I use, ATC recognizes the model name (Albatros, with 1 "S") but not the manufactuer (Aero, or Aero Vochody. I've tried both). So how exactly does this work? Is there a vocabulary of manufacturers and types that go beyond the default aircraft, or is there just some software that tries to "sound out" the aircraft's name?

I may be wrong on this ~

But I believe - if ya' want "Default" ATC to be able to "correctly" call out your Aircraft , by ID / Tail number and Name

you've got to make sure all the "Entrys" are properly / correctly filled out in the , Aircraft CFG File

I don't use Default FSX ATC, for I can't stand those computerized voices drives me crazy

maybe somebody else who's more into the ATC thing can advise you better than dumb ol' me !

This is your Captain ~ Speaking ~ I think were Lost somewhere over the Pacific, anybody got a Road Atlas handy

The easiest way to get all manufacturers and model recognized in ATC is to use EDITEVOICE available from this site...Wonderful Tool east to use

Hey, thanks for that. I'll definitely check it out.

Hmmmm.....I can't seem to get it to work with FSX Steam. Any idea how to redirect the updates to the Dovetail directory?

I just googled Editvoice FSX Steam......it works...take a look and you will see many entries covering a small correctable error. This is a great tool when you catch on good luck!

Further note Im not familiar with Steam or dovetail, however the updated sound file can be found in program/editvoice/Editvoicepack Data.xml.gzip, I think copy this to dovetail manually hope this helps

Didn't even think to use Google.
