ATC To Say Real Airline Name

[usapatriot]

What file do I need to edit so that ATC in FSX calls my planes by their livery?

For example, currently ATC calls my Southwest 737, "Boeing" instead of Southwest.

Addon plane right? if so that is why, if you use an ORbit, or Pacfic, it calls it by the name,(defaults)

No it's not even calling out the default ATC names for default aircraft. It was doing everything fine before I reinstalled my OS and FSX.

Edit the aircraft.cfg file;

[fltsim.0]
title=Boeing 737-800 Paint1
sim=Boeing737-800
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=1
kb_checklists=Boeing737-800_check
kb_reference=Boeing737-800_ref
atc_id=N737W
atc_airline=Boeing

The default FSX call signs aren't working either, all it does now is give me the planes manufacturer and tail number. I haven't modified anything but the one .CFG file for the plane which I installed the new textures for and in there all I modified were the individual texture sections for the new repaints.

FSX just never ceases to give me headaches.

Check that there is a 'flight number' assigned, either in the aircraft.cfg or assign one in the Select Aircraft>Details dialog.

If there is no flight number, ATC will not call the airline name..
