atc_type, atc_model

[WebbPA]

I read the SDK and all the tutes I could find and these entries in aircraft.cfg:

atc_type=ROCKWELL
atc_model=B1

should make me and ATC say, "Type is Rockwell B-1".  Instead we just say "Experimental", meaning the entries are invalid.  What gives?  I have the big (177Mb) gvp file.

I think if it's not on the list, they say "Experimental"
I've tried  and had no luck, but to find something close

Here's an excerpt from one of my aircraft. You can see how the entries are structured.
Just fill in your info for the B-1, then copy and paste your new entries into the .cfg file replacing the old. And remember to make a backup copy of the original .cfg file before you make any changes.

[fltsim.0]
title=F-16C USAF
sim=F16C_TM
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=
checklists=
description=F-16C 323th FtrSq

ui_manufacturer=General Dynamics
ui_type=F-16
ui_variation=323rd FtrSq USAF
atc_heavy=0
atc_id=
atc_airline=Air Force
atc_flight_number=404

Hope this helps.

WebbPA,

I just went into Edit Voice Pack and found out that the correct entry for "atc_model" is "B-1."  "Rockwell" is supported as an ATC name, so if you make that one little fix, you should be fine!

I got it.  I wasn't giving you enough information.

This works:

[General]
atc_type=ROCKWELL
atc_model=B1 ...

This does NOT work:

[fltsim.0] ...
atc_type=ROCKWELL
atc_model=B1

I was just putting the entries in the wrong place.  Since "B1" works I didn't try "B-1".  I don't know whether these are case sensitive so I didn't mess with that either.

Thanks.
