When I load the PMDG 737-700, American Airlines or Delta, or United. ATC doesn

Well just guessing here Bob, but if you desire for ATC to use your livery name + tail number or just livery name i'll assume you can do thisatc_id= American XXXXX ANyone correct me if I am wrong ;)[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J. Smithhttp://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-5/196432/winglets_lg.jpg

Thanks Randy,So is what your saying is to us ATC_id=American instead of atc_airline=American. Is that right.

Yes, the reason being is that the tail number resides on that line which you say ATC is using to reference your aircraft.[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J. Smithhttp://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-5/196432/winglets_lg.jpg

Thanks again Randy,But now ATC uses Alfa mike ecco ect. instead of say American. Thanks again for the ideas.

This is what you want in the aircrsft config: atc_airline=Southwestof course change the Southwest to what ever airline you are using. Also make sure your airlines are updated in the main aircraft folder.Andrew

Thanks Andrew,I have atc_airline=American in my aircraft.cfg. I don't have airlines file of any kind in the main aircraft folder. Mybe that my problem. But yet when I am using Ultimate Traffic ATC uses the right call signs on the AI traffic.

Hi Bob,did you also add a flight number to the aircraft.cfg?Cheers,Gosta.http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg

I not sure I understand. When I load the plane I change the flight number. Is that what you mean?

Hi Bob,>I don't have airlines file of any kind in the main aircraft folderThat's probably why your selection box is greyed out in the airplane settings menu. Airlines.cfg (or something like that, airlines.txt maybe?) should be in your aircraft folder for you to be able to choose from. Try to get hold of a copy from somewhere. It should be on your FS disks somewhere. Hope it helps,

Yep I found the airline.cfg on disk one. Now it works. Thank you very much.
