I was flying my PMDG 737-700 Alaska livery today from KSEA to Sitka. I noticed another aircraft referring to having my aircraft in sight using the term 'Experimental' versus the usual 'Boeing' moniker. I checking my aircraft.cfg file for any discrepancies and found none. My question to anyone who knows, what setting determines what ATC will classify an aircraft as? Something somewhere must have gotten changed and it's not in the aircraft.cfg file. I'd like to know this in general for future reference. Thanks in advance to anyone who knows the answer to this.

From the Aircraft Container SDK...

[atc_type = Cessna] [This is the specific aircraft type that the ATC system recognizes for this type of aircraft.]

,,,that entry is in the [General] section and applies to all liveries in that aircraft folder.regards,Joe

Just as Joe said before me, you must edit the "atc_type=" line and insert the manufacturers name. Even if you have the manufacturers name set correctly in the flightsim sections it will still refer to you as "experimental" if you have the line blank or if the line is not there at all.

Thanks guys, that was it... :(
