How do I create a callsign

Postby rafvr27 » Tue Oct 12, 2010 10:58 am

Just downloaded the Beriev Be-200 and am quite pleased with it BUT it doesn`t have a callsign for use with ATC.
Assumed this was the "ATC ID" but that didn`t work, sao I would be grateful for some advice.

Many thanks

If you want to create one from scratch, use EditVoicePack! Takes a few minutes to orient yourself to the interface, but it's very fun creating custom callsigns!

(Home page seems to be down right now, so here's an alternate)

Hello George!... ;)...!

In the "aircraft.cfg" entry, I type my ATC call sign : atc_id=G-BPLF....which comes over as: "Golf Bravo Papa Lima Foxtrot" over the Radio.

It can also be inserted in the "Tail Number" box, during the Aircraft selection option.

It works OK in FS 2004.. :-*...!

Excellent, George!

I always find it useful to insert my own call sign in my aircraft, instead of the generic one...
I know for sure that ATC are actually talking to me then, over my Radio... ;D..!

..I no longer get the the; "Did you hear my last instruction?"... :-[...!
