ATC Keeps Calling My C185 Skywagon Experimental

Featured Replies

I have downloaded the C185 by Mikko Maliniemi and ATC keeps referring to it as Experimental. I have checked the aircraft.cfg and it looks ok - the relevant portion is as follows:title=Cessna C185 Skywagonsim=Cessna C185 Skywagonmodel=panel=sound=texture=checklists=Cessna172SP_checkatc_type=Cessnaatc_id_enable=1atc_id=C-GJWGeditable=1ui_manufacturer=Cessnaui_type=C185 Skywagonui_variation=wheelschecklists=description=Created by Mikko Maliniemi November 2001. Panel By Ian Grant November 2001. Sounds by Aaron Swindle. C185 Skywagon Flight Dynamics

In the Aircraft.cfg file, add the following(General)atc_type=Cessnaatc_model=C185Replace ( and ) with left and right brackets.ATC will then refer to you as type Cessna Skywagon.Rob

Got it - very many thanks RobDon :-) :-)
